Love doing projects!!

Hi again!

WHAT?? 

Two posts in one day!

Crazy!

Well...I have spent some time doing some cool projects.

I have yet to put the finishing 

touches on them...but I thought I would show you them thus far!

This first one is one I have been thinking of doing for years!  So finally I have tried it on a small scale to see if I am even capable!

HAHA!

This is on a medium size canvas. First I had to sketch the image onto the canvas.

Then I used drywall mud to add the 3D effect!

I did about 3 coats.  Next time I would stop at 2. Here it is dried.

I think I am going to paint the exposed canvas with black. Then spray it to seal it...and...

its done!  (My next plan is to pick a wall and get 'mudding'!!)

Next I did a paper wreath!  They are all over Pinterest right now!!

I have a collection of pretty old books.  This one was an old Canadian Dictionary for Schools.

Last printed in 1944.

I gingerly took it apart!  The pages were quite brittle. I would compare them to Philo pastry!!

Next I rolled a ton of them into cone shapes and used a piece of tape to hold them.

Then I stapled them to a square of cardboard starting at 12, 3,6,& 9 0'clock positions.

Now...I have to go hunting for some bling for the center!

Not sure what room I like this for yet. The office is kinda neat because it is a dictionary!

BUT....made my craft room will win out!

I will post the projects when they are hanging in their new homes!!

Thanks for stopping by!
