Playing with Blocks

Started with blocks my sons played with years ago.... (they are now 38 and 28)...cut some sweet images from an old discarded text book and used my trusty Mod Podge to apply, putting names on the backs.............then a couple of extra coats of Podge, glued on a button and Bob's your uncle, as the Brits would say............or Voila!, as the French.............or just plain.............done!


Ready for Snow?

Serendipity and the Tale of the Bunny Dominoes

Today I hit one big sale and bought only 3 things before I got too hot and sick and came home. Found these great old beat up dominoes and a double deck of playing cards with French bunny word "Lapin" on them. I was playing in my altered book with paper and pages and began to cut bunnies out in various ways as shown below. Added one to my book. Then, it hit me to use the smallest cut version and make Bunny Dominoes. I used one of my granddaddys' old files to round off the corners and edges and then my fave Mod Podge to adhere the image. Think I will give it a top coat, then maybe rough it up and stain it a little and then one final coat. Too much fun for only 75 cents!!!







Oh, aren't they sweet?

Mod Podge Rocks with ME!

Yea! Thanks to Amy at World of Mod Podge blog, I am featured on her site today! So fun to be acknowledged out there in this big world.

Keep on rockin' with Mod Podge!

Stamp It Up!

Fun little project while watching tv. These sweet little trays can be found at Michaels's for just a buck. I painted all the tray except for the top surface with glossy black, then sanded it down a bit. Picked out some favorite stamps to glue down, with my fave man, Mr. Lincoln, in the middle.

Gave the entire piece a coat of matte finish Mod Podge, then the stamped area a final coat. SO FUN! Would be a good project for the kids when they are yelling there is NOTHING TO DO!

Having a bit of a problem with setting out my pics within the blog. Sorry for the space here where another picture should be.

It's All Black and White~~~and easy~~~~~

Take a forlorn little chest, some black paint, a few pages from an old discarded reference sized dictionary and good old Mod Podge with matte finish. Voila! With a little bit of time you have a new piece of artwork that says just what you want it to.

My methods: Take knobs off chest and paint black as well as the facing part behind drawers. Select pages and use Mod Podge like glue to adhere. I used pages with words and quotes about those words. If you look closely at the 2nd drawer, you can see my word "Possibilities". After the entire piece is covered, allow to dry overnight and give it all a finish coat.
