TCU Lambda Chi Woodsie

Hey y'all! SO you may have seen this if you follow me on Instagram (@bkraftydesigns) this past week I painted a cooler for one of my friends who was headed up to TCU for a date party her boyfriend's fraternity was having. It's called "Woodsie", and it's a camping weekend event they do somewhere in Texas. She had the cutest ideas for a cooler, and she asked me to paint one for her. Here's the final product:

Bianca had the best idea to do a "cooler divided" since she and her boyfriend go to different schools. I loved the idea, and I think it really turned out great. It's something different that I haven't done before, so I was all for it. PS. The TCU mascot is a challenge to paint, and that's putting it nicely.


Here's a side view of the cooler with the Lambda Chi flag on one side, a campfire setting with "Woodsie" painted in rope lettering, and the "Cooler Divided" design on top.

Getting really into the theme on this side; I really hope they had a campfire this weekend because it was freezing!

Another shot of the top of the cooler:

Lambda Chi flag:

 Fireball Whiskey side: "Roses are red, violets are blue, whiskey costs less, than a dinner for two."

For the back she wanted different bottles of alcohol, so I modge podged different bottles on top of a Gastby-esque background I painted. I love the black and gold, and I think it was a good contrast to the different colors of bottles.

I hope that if you stumbled across my page, something inspires you! It's always hard to think of different ideas for coolers that haven't been done before, and sometimes you just need to see something to get your creative juices flowing. Have a great week everyone; if you have any questions about cooler painting or anything else, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an email.

Keep Calm and Diamond On

As Thanksgiving break approaches I am really getting excited about some of the things I have in store! I am going to be painting some coolers for the lovely ladies my mom works with and a friend from high school! So far I think I have an A&M themed cooler, a Saints one, a Texans one, and a family themed one! I can't wait to get started on those!! They are SO much fun to do. I am also going to be painting a few canvases! This is one I did a few weeks ago, but I can't remember if I posted it or not! I love all of the Keep Calm signs. This one is for Alpha Delta Pi!

More posts soon. Homeward bound tomorrow! Can't wait to be with the fam. 

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone, and look out for some exciting posts soon!

I had some special visitors not too long ago, but didn't have a chance to post pictures! My mom and grandma came to see me! We went to Sandra Bullock's restaurant called Bess Bistro, bought some Kendra Scott jewelry, hit Whole Foods, and got yummy coffee!

As you probably know by now -or if you are just now stumbling upon my blog and don't- I love making canvases for Christina Williams Designs! She is such a sweet, generous person, and her shop is ADORABLE. She just opened her own store, so everyone should go like her Facebook page for more info! Click HERE for the link.

This is her logo that I painted for her earlier this month.
