One thing I've been doing is painting these letters. The wooden letters were given to me by a friend - not really any words just various letters. I am painting them and finishing them randomly. The letter "P" below was stained with semigloss black stain and finish in one. After it dried, I spritzed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist route 66 - a special edition color. (I MUST order some more I love this one)
After I spritzed it, I shake and sling and generally get the glimmer mist on me and almost everything around. then I may spritz again. Then I dry it with the low setting on a hairdryer. I think it looks like rained on wood. After it's dry, I spray it with clear spray sealer.
I have done other with different paint and shaking and come up with totally different results.
What do you think???
I create these randomly, but as I was setting them up I noticed that I could give a reasonable idea of a word (yes, I know that is an ampersand) that why I said reasonable idea.
Got some red paint to do some as well.
I also love me some pinterest. I have several boards and on one of them I have pinned this.
Well - it was haunting me. I had picked up some chipboard books at Michaels (in the dollar bins).
I jumped on the idea and covered them with paper. Then added some buttons and lace. See below my take on the necklace displays.
I bundled the chain in the back and tied it with cotton thread.
Draped the chain over the points and voila.
By adding button magnets to the back, I was able to hang them on the tin that I screwed to the booth wall. ( I marked the board as NOT FOR SALE since they are a bit of a pain to assemble)
But boy do I like how they look on that wall.
I'll be pinning this picture to my "my booth at junk" and "inspired by a pin" boards. Thank you so much to SmartAleckStudio for this wonderful idea.
Have a great day. I promise I'll be back.
