Old World Name Hanging

Ξ April 4th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Art-tastic |

This is a hanging nameplate design I made. The letter tags are tacked to a wooden board that’s been crackle painted. The letters were made in MS Word and printed out and glued to black cardstock. I used foam adhesive to adhere them to tags that I stamped with continents and made them look aged with using a sponge and brown ink from a stamp pad. The continents are colored in by using regular colored pencils. I embellished the tags with small wooden and glass beads on wire to give this more flair. This hanging is no longer in use so I plan to repurpose it by changing the letters around and putting our last name on it and hanging it in our entry. I plan to add memorabilia to the wooden part of this as time goes by.

The update on our Nordic Track: we received 2 left handles so we had to call the company and they are shipping a new right handed handle now. It should reach us by Monday. It rained here today so the seeds I planted got a free feeding. I’m hoping to see some sprouts by early next week.

Here is a shot of a corner in my art studio area, Hoops and YoYo bring my hubby and I much joy, you can see part of a WIP I have going as well. It’s the start of spring picture. I’ll post it when it’s done.

I had my eye appointment on Tuesday and will be able to put the order in for my glasses as soon as the next payday rolls around. So I will be elbow deep in paints again soon. In the meantime I have been watching Youtube videos and putting in some orders online for needed art supplies. When I have my studio area completed I’ll take a picture and post it. Enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you soon.
