Altered Paint Brush

I made this altered paint brush for a swap on FaceBook.  (Northern Lights Illumination group).  I really love how it came out.  I'm not sure if I made a video about this but here are some pix.  The butterfly is handmade and from my friend from Singapore.  Some flowers from  store.Liz y Jose's Zibbit




Altered Sign

I made this sign for my sister.  She moved into an actual office and requested I make her a sign for her office.  This sign is metal and I got it from Jo's a while back.  I started to make it a mixed media, but during the process, I changed my mind.  I used an old paper line from CTMH.  I think it was called Sonoma.  I really loved this color and it's also my sister's favorite color.  I cut her name from SCAL2. 


Upclose of the flowers I used.  The flowers are from Liz y Jose's Zibbit store.  I've ordered from her before and the prices are very reasonable and quick shipping.  The black acrylic glass spray is from another zibbit store (FreeSpirit).  The rolled dictionary flower is from Tiffany.  I swapped with a couple of years ago and this is what I had left from the hoard vault.






I got this (cream) spray is from Tuesday Morning.  I had two of them and I gave one away as a swap item.  I really really really love it.


Thanks for looking.

Altered Canvases

Ohhhh-kay! I really love altering canvases.  I bought these odd sizes from M's when they were having a huge sale on them - it was crazy - as in 80% off crazy!! I just happened to be at Michael's and happen to walk to the back where the clearances are and saw these! I was floored.  I bought as much as i could.  I so wished i had more money so i could have bought more! LOL 

This particular one was going to be for a RAK, but i decided i love the simplicity of it all and kept it for myself.  I used the following:

Tattered angel fleur de lies stencil
Molding paste
Basic Acrylic paint (black/gold)
5x7 stapled back canvas


Up close



This canvas is 6x12 and i wished there were more of this size.  I really love how it came out.  I can't really remember exactly everything i added to this canvas but I'll list as much as i can remember. 

6x12 stapled back canvas
tattered angel glimmer mist (shades of green)
E6000 glue for the metals
Flowers from swaps & handmade flowers
papers (lol can't remember from which line - i think Prima Printery)
TH ornate plate, metal clock piece
Various buttons
pearls (not really pearls, but i got it from a swap)
Various metal pieces
