Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal Cover: Masculine Finish

Yesterday I shared how I created the wood effect for the inside of this Wrapped Journal Cover (see HERE).  Today,  I will show you how I added texture to embellishments for the outside of the cover, once again in keeping with the masculine theme.

Upcycling a Box using Mixed Media Techniques

Back in May I was lucky enough to attend an all day class with Maria Moorhouse, where we upcycled a metal box using mixed media techniques.  I absolutely love how my box turned out and I am very grateful to Maria for sharing her ideas.  The only change I made, was to use gilding wax rather than chalk paints to add colour to the embellishments.  As Maria had her last workshop yesterday it is now safe to share without spoiling anything for others.

Locks and Keys: A Tag

The current challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Locks and Keys.  I found a quote that I liked, "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart." by Anthony J. D'Angelo and based my tag round that.
