I USED FOUND PAPERS FOR THIS: A REPURPOSED ENVELOPE, A CHOPSTICK WRAPPER, A COCKTAIL UMBRELLA, A DOILY, A VINTAGE AND NEW MAGAZINE PAPER.

Extreme Miniature Painting by Daily Painter of Pennsylvania Mary Beth Brath

Pennsylvania Creek - Near Clarion PA by Mary Beth Brath

1" x 1" Extreme Mini in Acrylic

 

What a great challenge. I used a magnifying glass, trimmed down an old brush, a dental tool and toothpick. I used a 6x6" painting that I did 2 years ago for the subject matter.

Here is my 3rd mini button pin, done for this January Challenge. on of my favorite places to camp in Kentucky is Energy Lake at Land Between the Lakes, KY. This is from a photo of a sunset while there this last fall. I love the peacefulness of this place!

"Goldfinch and Bluebird"
1 1/4" each Oil on metal

My little grandson insisted on giving me these metal pins with a chevy emblem on them when I visited them in Texas last fall. I kept them and decided to re-purpose them at some point to put on my hat. Thanks to the DPP Challenge blog this month I found the perfect use for them!

How Small Can You Go?

Happy New Year, everyone!
 It's a brand new year, and often people decide
that one of their New Year's resolutions 
will be to reduce.
With that in mind, this month's DPP Challenge
is about creating the smallest 
painting you can.  

As always, be creative and have fun!
