This week Carol the lovely lady behind WeLcOmE 2 mY wOrLd has selected the theme recycled, which is basically to just use anything you would normally throw away either as a main object or just an element in your piece.
She has created as the sample a, Sardine Tin Shrine
"This started life as a Sardine tin which I hate (yuck) so I had to get this off my Mum. I painted the whole tin with acrylic paint did not like that LOL so then I covered the inside with decopatch. All the watch pieces and hands are old reclaimed items as I do love to use old things when I can. The wings and star crown are cut from metal and then alcohol inked and stuck on with hot glue with a little gem to finish it off. The image is from a cemetery Angles sheet from Collage stuff and the wrought iron image stamped on the acetate is Paper Artsy. "
With taking off the time allowed for drying I was actually surprised how quick this was to make and I came in well under the hour.
Remember...I don't count drying time in the one hour...or nothing I do would ever get done :)
Have a Blast with this one...I know I'm going to...can't wait to see what you all create!
