from this to this continues...***edit with a sale***

I thought I'd show another "altering" 
of one of my Blossom Bucket pieces...

the photo below shows the large lacy flower...
right from the package & below it is the altered version...



here's a better look...
I painted the piece with the juniper paint dabber, making sure to get in the recessed areas...
then wiped the raised areas...
and dried the paint...

next, I lightly painted the raised areas with the gold paint dabber, then let that dry...

the finishing touch is the coffee archival pad, lightly swiped on the raised areas...
if any areas were too dark, I just wiped off the excess coffee ink with a paper towel...
and dried it...

again, this altering took about 3 minutes...
it's really pretty when you see it in person...
with a hint of the gold paint adding a bit of shimmer...


I've used this Blossom Bucket piece as a hat/hair,
 as a collar...

and here's a peek of the altered piece used on a ______...
the center is accented with a 
to add a bit more detail & dimension...


I accomplished LOTS this weekend...
that is a good thing...

some days in the studio are good & some are really good...

and some days suck, when I'm brain dead...
but we won't discuss that today...

this next peek is a VERY VERY fun project...
I . CAN. NOT. WAIT. 
to share this creation...



I LOVE it when things FIT...
here's my Blossom Bucket small bottle cap filled with 
a match made in heaven...

together they make a perfect_______...
oops...can't say just yet...


I was working on this next piece...
it was about finished...
but not quite right...
it needed a little something...
I had the idea to add a staple or 2, 
using the tiny attacher...

50+ staples later...
that's my motto...
if one is good...
50 is better...

even though art parts are very strong & sturdy...
the tiny attacher works well on them...



and I was sad when this piece was finished...

it was fun...
and a new technique was discovered...
I'll share this later...


see anything interesting?
got any ideas of what these peeks are?

happy MONDAY!
it's a perfect day to...

make art!
