Today I'm painting another thrifted item to hopefully look like expensive art. I've been into upcycling and using things that I already have, so I'm using acrylic paints that I always use, and this thrifted tray I bought at a thrift store. I hope you enjoy this art video, and I hope it inspires you to give something old a makeover! :)

Who else thinks she is super underrated 👇🏻
First I just wanted to let you know that I believe that tray is for a cheeseball. It would've had a glass dome that went over the middle circle, when it was new. Anyway, this piece is really striking! I don't want to show this to my sister, who loves moths, because she would probably make me create something similar to hang in her new house...lol
What?! Wow, I love cheeseballs so I really hope that’s what this was for lol!
Yes, that’s what it’s for!! The channel around the outside is for the crackers!
I love your art, Mira! You inspire me to step out of my comfort zone and create something important I would have never created otherwise!
Wow this is beautiful! I thought it was a chip and dip plate or platter but you turned it into art!
Never seen anything like it!
This so by far my favourite painting you’ve ever done. I find every time you step out of your comfort zone you create incredible things!
This looked amazing! What a transformation! Loved the vines! Really brought it all together!
The copper paint really pops…it turned out awesome!
I am always on the lookout when thrifting for opportunities to upcycle!
Love what you did with that tray. Definitely looks like it should be hung in a fancy study or library.
Would definitely fit into any dark academia setting. Lovely!!
Still waiting to see an ocean scene with fish and corals and plants. Oh how I've been waiting to see your take on that because I think you will do an amazing job . Love your videos
The last.thing I painted was a purple dahlia for my friend in the hospital. I like the moth, the dark background reminds me of those specimen cases. I think making your own art for your home is great. It's more meaningful and you can really make things to your own taste.
IT. LOOKS. SO. GEORGEOUS!! Can't handle this 🥺
How beautiful! That moth comes out of the piece! Thank you for sharing!
The second I saw your wood piece I was hoping you’d paint a moth! They are my favorite thing you paint! You’re so good at it❤️
I love this moody moth!!!! I would love to see it turned into a sticker or a print or both. It would make an excellent embellishment or envelope seal!! I love your artwork❣️
Gorgeous! The way the subject in the center is supported by the vines. It just works together *so well!*
Ooh! Do a spa day for your brushes, and just have a sit and chat while you clean them, and just make it chill. I mean, whatever you do, I'm here for it!! 🥰
I've been wanting to paint on thrifted stuff for a hot second!!!
6:32 wow, you have hardly done anything yet but it’s already looking so gorgeous! 😊🩷
I love how this one turned out.
that copper is gorgeous 😍 this is such a stunning idea!
I love it!! I think the vines around the outside was the perfect touch!! It is what I had pictured when you showed the finished moth!!
Love it! It has a dark academia feel.
@MiraByler do a Q and A video while you clean your brushes!!!!
Wowzer! I wasn’t sure where you were going but the final product is beautiful!!!!
would watch an aesthetic wash day!!!
I took my oldest(8)ABC space canvas print and changed it into a forest ABCs for my little one(2). You've totally inspired me to try painting moths! They look like a fun challenge!
love it at first was not sure but when you added the vines it just finished it perfectly .
Unbelievable transformation
Mira!!! It's Beautiful!!! What a beautiful piece for your home, love it!!
It is gorgeous. Congratulations.
This turned out extremely beautiful !
I absolutely LOVE everything about this! I'm a big fan of moody art, moths, and giving thrifted items a new life. So this video was totally my jam! 🖤
It’s very dark academia style. Love this. At first I thought you were going to do a Deaths head moth.
Right when u brought out the trivet I automatically new u were gonna paint a moth😁
This really turned out nice, I really like the vines. 😊
This piece is absolutely stunning! The color pallet is gorgeous. I love your videos!!
So pretty!
Moths have been a big phobia (Lepidopterophobia) of mine all my life, and I mean screaming, running, crying and shutting myself in wardrobes phobic. I can't even see one on television or in a book without getting a physical fear response. I definitely had to miss some of your earlier moth videos 😨
Now I kind of want to paint one myself! 😮 I still can't look at references of real moths so I'm not sure if it will ever actually happen, but I do now see beauty in your paintings of them . I think this one is my favourite so far ❣Thank you!
Lol they don’t bite, they’re cute little guys. You should look up pictures of fuzzy moths then maybe you won’t be so scared of them 😂
i really, really, really love this piece.
Hi, Mira! I love the way this tray came out. You are so awesome! Ciao, Erica
Oh man, this is super pretty!! I really love the style you went for with it. Your color choices was great, and you definitely pulled off the illustrative style you were going for with the moth. At the end when you were showing it off, something about it was giving the moth a bit of a 3D effect which I think is really cool. I'm guessing it was something about the mix of matte and gloss finishes.
And to answer the question: Rocks! I'm currently painting rocks, actually. They're for the Kindness Rocks project (hiding painted rocks around in public for people to find). It started in 2017 iirc and has died off a little now, but I've kept on doing it because it's so fun.
With how soft and smooth your voice is and how positive you are... Definitely giving me Bob Ross vibes! Love it!
I really like this, that moth looks brilliant 👏
Cool reuse idea! This is a cheese tray that usually comes with a glass cloche lid.
That’s beautiful.
Wow I really like that!! You should make it into merch! ❤
that came out lovely
I love #June’sJourney !!
Maravillous, excellent❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's AWESOME! I love thrift stores too. Love the way you make others aware of the importance of being kind to ourselves. You're accepting nature inspires us to let our imaginations play without expectations! Thank You!
Such a lovely piece
I really like the simplicity of the moth against the dark background and the copper accents makes it look really antique. Its almost like it could have been hanging in an old mansion or on a table with glasses around the edge of it and the bottle of whiskey or gin in the center. Although the tray is actually a teak wood charcuterie board so more for cheeses, crackers, and meats ect. It had a glass cloche with it as well.
CotD: I actually painted a multimedia portrait of a friend's dog as a gift.
Super cute!
I think this is gorgeous! :)
last thing I painted was a big canvas at work, to turn into our kindergarten group's birthday calendar... painted it dark grey, it will turn into a parking lot 😅😅
Comment of the day- the last thing I painted is a cat! I’m on a cat painting journey. Speaking of journey, I think I’ll try June’s Journey! I love, love, love your videos!
LOVE the moody moth! I never would have given a second look at that piece of wood, but now I want something like that in my house!
I just finished painting seasonal art and scenes on some old wood signs I had previously painted to put vinyl lettering on and I just had the urge to paint instead so I did :) I sell them in my store front and they go over well with buyers :)
Awesome
Wow, Mira!!! I can totally see this design of art as a mouse pad or stickers or coasters! your moths are the BEST! Great job with this thrifted piece of ART! You're amazing! Kelli
Very pretty! =)
Love this turn out it was so nice, wow you are creative and a inspiration 😊
So creative! I really enjoyed this.
That is so beautiful, I need to get some of that copper paint! Xx
The moth piece turned out so cool! Absolutely love it!
Very elegant!! 👍
Absolutely gorgeous. The way you done those vines put me in a calming mood 🙏🏼
Wow…I love the way it came out! At certain angles, it looks like the moth is raised up. It’s so cool looking. 🩵 ~ Does anyone else think June in June’s Journey looks like Courtney Cox? 😂
It turned out so pretty! I really love the vines in the „background“, kinda looks like vintage wallpaper to me and it matches the overall piece so well 💖
Simply gorgeous! I think you hit all the right notes - the matte background, the illustrative moth, the color palette - excellent!
I think this is one of my favorite piece's you've done! Wow❤️
Yay! I love thrift makeovers!💕
Well, to answer your question: the last thing I painted on was a custom art doll for Halloween 😊 I even made a video out of the process.
I love that.
I love your moths! This one is particularly beautiful, especially with the vines around it. Nice color choices.
Love it!❤
Wow, that’s gorgeous! I especially like the moth. Last thing I painted are some flowers, but I planned on some other things, already done the sketches. Now finding the confidence to actually start.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Brush Spa Day! My watercolor brushes are good. But my kid went to college and left me with dozens of her musty crusty ones!
I'm making a patchwork pumpkin that I'm painting. It's fun but it's very tedious. ❤❤❤
I love this painting!
Love it!
This came out beautiful! What an inspiring video! ✨
That is awesome ❤
Omg this came out so so beautiful! I love it so much!!!!! I would definitely hang that up for sure!!! ❤
That turned out.really good and definitely your style. As soon as I saw the top view a fountain with koi in it took up residence in my head. I unfortunately don't have the talent to give it life lol
Awesome!
I've always loved your art and enjoy watching you create things from your sketchbook ideas to that stunning water painting behind you. This one is just beautiful!! Love everything about it ....and that copper acrylic!! Mwah 👌😁
OMG I painted my nails the same exact way! Red with gold ring fingers
murphy's soap is great for crusty brushes
I think it’d be cute to put an animal in a sweater in the circle and then some sort of design on the outer ring
The last thing I painted was my office room and I like to say it's 'white with a whisper of green' which goes perfect with my house plants 💚
It would make a nice clock.
Love it
It is so vintage, I love it=) This was a challenging piece, but you did an awesome job=)
The last thing I painted was an abstract style New York skyline with a sunset
This most likely came with a glass cloche at one point and may have had a terrarium style interior with preserved butterflies on a branch, or something. I love the way you upcycled it!
Most excellent. Blessings.
That turned out so good! It’s giving those dark botanical wallpaper vibes 😻 You could totally pair it with some faux taxidermy and oddities in cloches 🤔 for a spooky vintage Halloween look
I was wondering what Happened to that. 😂
It turned out great!
The last item i painted/customised was my roller-derby helmet, i painted a bandana on it 😂
