DIY: Teach yourself piano

We all know that music is an art and piano is a form of music.There's a quick and easy way to teach yourself the basics of piano. I have been teaching myself with Alfred All in One Adult Piano Book. It teaches you how to read, play, and write notes. As well as that, it teaches you technique.  
NOTE: Book introduces you to piano concepts.



Street art



Some times you may come across starving artist trying to sell their art. Well... that is what I found. I love this piece because it uses organic shapes to create a beautiful plaque. It is a wooden plaque with acrylic paints. The metallic copper paint is a very nice original color that compliments the green.

DIY: Collage a stool


I bet all of you crafters out there have some sort of table and chair for your artwork. The picture to the left is the table I have that includes a foe leather stool. Notice how it's all white and boring. Well... I had a small idea. What if I took my chair and decorated it similar to a scrap book, vision board, and laminated item? So what I did was I cut out pictures from magazines, placed them on the chair in the order I liked and then put packing tape over it. Viola!
STEP ONE: Okay... this step is so easy. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A STOOL THAT ALLOWS TAPE OVER IT! My stool looks like the one above or the one below.



STEP TWO: Cut out pictures from a magazine you like and place them on the stool a couple of different ways to see which ways you like best. I used Seventeen because I like fashion and nail art. The main picture in the middle is from a local newspaper.
STEP THREE: Use some packing tape to carefully cover the pictures. Wrap some tape around the sides as well. You will get a plastic like finish and a laminated like finish as well.



FINISHED PRODUCT: Make sure to keep some tape around because it will wear and tear every now and then. When it does do that just cover it up.
