My Journey Into Art

there was a call for art on the Paper Imagery Design Yahoo group I belong to to alter a household item. Well, I had seen a few altered spoons along my blogging journeys and I fell in love with the idea of altering falware.  I put off doing any until I had talked to DH about using any of our ol stuff, he’s the cook of the fam and the kitchen is his domain, and he told me what I could use. This is the result. I love it, he thinks the twig should go!

It’s a tablespoon from a broken up set, I used Alcohol inks on it, glued the image, from PID, with gel medium. When that was dry I applied a line of Distress stickles around the image and waited for that to dry (lot of waiting with this project lol). when that was dry, I applied a couple of coats of Crystal Lacquer on top of the image, waited for to dry ….  Finally after everything was dry, I wrapped a couple of thin ribbons around the twig and handle putting on a couple of charms along the way and tied it off in a nice big bow!

For this I was featured in the PID monthly newsletter!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! Thank you Melissa, you are the best, awesome company, awesome people!!!  Not affiliated, just happy!
