Repurposed

Good Morning Everyone,

I bet you thought that I was off somewhere exciting? Well in a way I

was....LOL...... I've been busy with my craft supplies. We've had a real

love relation. What I mean by the love relation is that everything that

I have been working on has been coming together even though the

weather has become chilly. Some of the things that I have been working

on take a little longer to dry so if it needs a second or third coat I wait a

couple of days in between coats just to be sure that it is very dry. In my

header picture is just a few things that I have been working on. In the

picture below is a box that I repuposed by painting it and embellishing

it with cardstock, ribbon, and a large snowflake. Sorry that I did not get a picture of the box before it got painted. The

box originally held Mrs. Smiths cookies. I though it was a cute box so

I decided to do something with it instead of throwing it away. The

picture below is some scrapbooking cardstock that I fell in love with. I

know I talked about this cardstock before.....LOL..... no I'm not going

crazy, not just yet anyway. My husband could only wish.....Ha ha ha.

Ok let me get back on track here. I took a few different pages that I really liked and I put them on

canvas and sealed the pictures. I wanted really good coverage of the

sealant so I did a few coats so that took a few drying days. The frames that I put them in were also repurposed. They were

wooden frames that the glass had broken. I didn't like how the

natural wood looked with the the pictures so I painted them flat

black and also put a clear coat on them. I was having trouble with

the glare that I was getting from them in the pictures that is why

I have two pictures of the forever canvas.I was also fighting with

getting enough light on the picture. Can you tell? I will be posting the canvas to my etsy shop sometime today. I guess

I should tell you that the picture is a five by seven. I do have some

larger ones too but they are in the drying process still. I think ten

dollars for each of these is a fair price. Well I'm off to hopefully get

pictures of the other things that are good to go. Until my next post

Have a Splendid Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
