chair for charity

A friend of mine here in Culver asked a while back if I wanted to decorate and donate a chair for their Tri Kappa Chairs for Charity event.  I said sure.  I got a chair from another friend from church, and it sat for quite some time since then!  I thought I had an idea I was going to do, but then changed my mind.  It just hit me when I was looking at the chair and saw the 6 small spindles on the back that I could make them into a rainbow.  I chose a verse from Genesis 9:13 about God's promise to us to never flood the earth again.  I love rainbows and what they mean, so I decided to go for it, and I got it done.  I decoupage the verse on the top of the chair after cutting out the letters from some old magazines.  I then decoupage the colored tissue paper on the spindles.  The hardest part was painting the picture on the seat.  I found this mural online that I used as my guide.  I have never been able to just paint something out of my mind.  So it was helpful to have this as a guide for me to look at.

The Chairs for Charity event will take place in June 28 with an auction.  Check out their link for more information.
