SOME ALTERED ART!

WORKING AGAIN!
Started out with a plain try type wood box thing. I know good description. I say tray cause it has two metal handles on each end.
Decopodged some sheet music and mesh ribbon on the bottom. then did some ink shading and some stamping. Made this a wall hanging to sell with a friend as the theme.
A paper clock with some decorations around it.Inked that also. The hands and the # 7 is from a clock repair kit that my dad got to use the mechanism and didn’t need the rest .
It is finished enough to use as wall hanging right now ….but you know how it is…you can always find more goodies to fill it up. And the friend that would get this can add personal touches to it. Things that have to do with their friend and their time together…like tickets from a show etc. These are the kind of things I want to start to sell on Etsy and a craft show or two. I have a bunch of ideas whirling around in my head.  Now to make room in art/craft room to work. Also want still go to beach and park with RV and work in it.
Was a very cold weekend for camping…leaving today and it is finally going to warm up. You can check my other blog to see how that went .
all for now thanks for looking and come back soon

KEEP IT SIMPLE & OLD MAID

KEEP IT SIMPLE LEARNING JOURNAL PAGE: This is a page in my learning journal that I worked on a couple weeks ago. I guess it might be done but you never know! The Bunnie was take from an old child's book I got at a yard sale. I only had to color in pink ears and nose. Flowers were punched out of a colorful magazine add, with old buttons. The stems are bakers cord that I got at Michael's. At the bottom of the stems is a tag with a bow tie with the bakers cord and the stems attached to that. I guess I did not do a good job of pic taking, The back ground is hand painted paper. OPPOSITE PAGE IN JOURNAL: Bunny pic from the same child's book with some other decopodged paper from various books and mags.Fun springy thing to make.

MINI OLD MAID CARDS: I got a bunch of these old maid cards at WM after Christmas sale. They are 2''X 1 1/2 " I want to do some inches but find the inch is a little to small for me to work with yet. These will fit the bill perfect.

OLD MAID "INCHES" STARTED: I painted one side of the cards with gesso in this photo. I have been working on them so I have more done on them. I will post progress and finished product soon. Harder than doing large pages, trying to find smalls to put on them. WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL: Temps cold this AM 49. Up to 70 with sunshine today!

We had rain most of the day yesterday.

I found a blog last night that is having a hand made post card swap. I think I will do it. My first swap! With altered art that is. When I had my craft room on MSN years ago we were always swapping hand crafted things. Anyway with this swap you can make the post card or alter one. I have these old Railway Express post cards that my dad had. (when post was only 3 cents) Dad worked for Railway Express. So I think I will be using these for my post card. I would like to do something beachy but don't think I have enough stuff to do that.

All for now thanks for looking

Blessings
