A Few New Fun and Games

Here's a few new things over the past 6 weeks or so. I had fun with them which is the best part. Don't you love it when you have all the components for something....no scouring thrift stores, yard sales, etc.? The arcade was a cigar box, the little girl shrine was a tall wooden whisky box, the flower pot was a scroungy looking thing which now has a new life thanks to some gesso and crackle. I'm happy to be getting some of these wooden boxes off my closet shelf....Fibber McGee's closet for those of you who remember! The bird image was from a napkin that I decoupaged onto the pot. I liked doing it so much that I scored a bunch of nice clay pots recently and plan to make a production line of pots....good gifties, ya think?
The little square bird is a 4 x 4 canvas that has a strip of scrapbook paper on the side with a bird napkin decoupaged on it and then covered with beeswax. I'm going to be very sad when the bird napkin supply runs dry. I only have one or two left....they are as scarce as hen's teeth! Next post will be a recipe for "barley water". Before you poo poo it, you must try it! Nutritious, but more than that....it's delicious!
