Webster’s dictionary tells us that razzle-dazzle can mean a colorful display. Or we might add “a feast of colorful strokes that excite and delight the eye.” What explanation you favor, this idea is sure to give you a wonderful painting experience and hours of pleasure, long after the piece has been painted.
The ideas will adapt to many different items. In fact, that is part of the fun! Why not view your “stash” and see what you can find for these ideas. From antique tin items to unique wood pieces, turn them into a Razzle Dazzle decorative piece.
