A Finer Crafty-Ness...

Oh what you can do with a tin can lid !  I saved the lids off three tuna cans ( thoroughly washed I hasten to add !!!) Alcohol inked the lids & added the images. I had it in mind to make a wall hanger, but this was my first attempt .... I think I will be saving some more tin lids, & have another go, & it's   good for recycling :)

 ALTERED TEASPOON Required :  One old teaspoon Black Acrylic Paint Paper image Diamond Glaze  Alcohol inks Embellishments First of all I painted the spoon with black acrylic paint. Then dabbed eggshell alcohol ink here & there over the spoon, & a touch of metallic copper alcohol ink. Next I glued the image of the lady on to the spoon. Afterwhich, I coated the whole spoon with Diamond Glaze. Then added the embellishments.

I managed to find an old wooden photo frame the other day so decided to give it a make over. First of all I covered the frame with black acrylic paint. Let it dry completely. Then started embossing Metal strips using a couple of embossing boards. I then painted the metal with black acrylic paint, wiped some off before dry so that you get a worn looking effect. Next I dabbed over the metal with alcohol inks, sprayed the metal with gimmer mists & left to dry. Next, adhered extra strong adhesive tape to the wooden frame & attached the metal strips. Finally I took some old watch faces, dabbed them with alcohol inks & attached a flower I made from grunge paper, some utee stamped with cogs, & now the frame has been given a face lift!
