Altered Spoon Blog Hop!!

I was so super honored to be asked specifically by Susan to help her celebrate her blog-versary... I chose to go nautical with my spoon.



First I started off by aging the spoon with a solution of vinegar and steal wool. Put the steal wool in a jar of vinegar and allow it 24 hours to "cure". Then brush the vinegar mixture over your spoon.





To finish off the spoon I used UmWowStudio's August handmade embellishment kit "Beach Combing" as well as the add on kit All Resin All The Time. Other products include a netting ribbon by May Arts to simulate a fishing net, cheese cloth, Tattered Angels glimmer glaze in Waterfall and Coconut Shell, Helmar's quick dry adhesive, and collected shells from the beach!


In this last photo you can really see the dimension and beauty that the spoon has.
For a quick tutorial on altering the resin piece visit the Amazing Mold Putty blog. :)

    DeeDee - thanks so much for playing along in my very first bloghop. I absolutely love your spoon! The weathered wood technique is so cool. I'm going to have to try this. It goes perfectly with your kit of the month {of which I will be needing now}! Sending you many Big Crafty Hugs - Susan
