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. :)

Presenting the artistes de spoon...

Using the August Kit!

Tomorrow I'll be joining in a SPOON ALTERING blog hop to celebrate a super close friend's Blog-versary:

so stay tuned to see how I used this month's kit and add on to alter my spoon!!!

Beach Combing REVEAL!!!

 Alright alright.. here it is. Beach Combing!!

Here is the main kit:

It includes:

1 6 inch weathered wood fence

1 hanging beach sign

2 weathered wood clothespins

3 distressed patterned paper clothespins

3 weed silhouettes in cream cardstock.. mist 'em, use 'em as a mask, ink 'em... do what you will!

and a scatter of authentic shells.

 I've decided to introduce an add on kit! Each month's kit will consist of theme appropriate resin pieces. This month's includes an anchor, two pelicans and some harbor dock poles.. complete with rope and a netting throw. Each add on kit will be completely voluntary, will be $10 and will have free shipping as it'll just go in the same box as your regular kit. :) - If you love the add on kit.. buy it! It is worth way more than the $10 you get it for :) it'll go in my etsy for closer to $15

Here are you buy now buttons.. the first one is for US Shipping for the main kit, the 2nd is Canadian shipping, the 3rd is international shipping and the 4th is the add on.

Love cast in clay!! (A blog hop)

Hello!! Welcome to my stop on the LOVE CAST IN CLAY hop!! Amazing Mold Putty and Creative Paperclay® Have teamed to bring you this fabulous blog hop!! 

There are two prizes available.. worth $25!! One on the AMP blog and one on the Creative Paperclay® blog -- you must comment on EVERY stop and become a follower of every stop to be eligible for the win!

Here is a list of the blogs in case you've become lost along the way:

And here is my project: 

I fell in love with this mini cameo and just had to use it! I cast the original in Amazing Molding Putty. When my mold was cured, I demolded the original and dusted the inside of the mold with Alumilite's Pearl dust. I then molded the piece out of the Air Dry Paperclay®. After a full 24 hours (to be sure it was dry) I took my piece out of the mold and brushed with a Martha stewart chocolate brown glaze. Before it had a chance to dry I wiped the piece with a wet cloth to take off the excess glaze!

Other products used: Teresa Collins paper, cardstock, MME cardstock, walnut stain distress ink, baker's twine, muslin and hot glue. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! Your next blog is that of Debbie Buckland!
