Now that was almost a wasted effort...mowing the lawn that is. It is raining...again.. Planned on beginning yard work this evening, but that has been put off as the thunderstorms roll through.
I am using the time well. Discovered some new creation techniques thanks to Pinterest - Aging wood pieces in vinegar that had a piece of rusty metal soaking in it. Makes new wood take on the look of old barn wood. And discovered acrylic paint skins. Takes patience - must allow to set and dry for at least 24 hours. When dry, will be able to apply Golden Digital Grounds and then run through ink jet printer. Obviously there is little space left in my work area what with aged wood ready for application and a couple acrylic skins in the drying process......
So, due to lack of space, went miniature. Created a small witch's hat box. The label is printed on a leather tag - utilizing digital grounds for non-porous materials. The hat and book in the box are buttons . The outside of the hatbox has travel stickers.
