Wall Hanging using Fernli Designs products.

I have finally finished my wall hanging. I have purchased a few items from Fernli |Designs, and now have a little stash built up so that I can have a choice of items when I am making a project. I used my hearts wall hanging, and decorated it with lace and pearls. As I state in the video below I printed the pictures onto sticky backed canvas sheets.

Decorated desk tidy from Fernli Designs

I love Fernli designs web site, and I just want to buy every new item that appears on the site! In fact until now I have done more shopping than making, but I have now started to use the products and the first item I have decorated is the desk tidy. It has come into work with me and is very handy.

I had so much fun painting and papering. :) The paper that the post it notes an tipp-ex sits on is a silky fabric type paper, and I have also lined the draw with this.

Decorated Initial 'S' - My first altered letter.

I have had a great time decorating this MDF letter S.

The MDF was covered with gesso to start with, then I used a flower stencil and some stencil paste to give the center part some texture. I then painted over the whole letter and after this was dry I added highlights with Inka-Gold and the colour I used was 'Gold'. This made the stenciling stand out and gave a nice texture and highlight to the edges of the letter. You can see the shine in the picture below.

I have used some clay items that I made using moulds I have. I used a head that I had made with terracotta air dry clay, and rubbed over Inka-Gold. I did the same with a clock face. The two swirls were made with white paper clay which is very light weight and these I coloured gold. I also added a clay key that had been painted bronze, but I rubbed over Inka-Gold again.

All around the edge, I glued a lovely lace trim.

I added the Tim Holtz dangle from the top, and I had a metal pendant frame, that I added a picture to. Before adding glossy accents to the picture I added micro beads around the edge for some interest. Also the metal pendant was silver coloured and I got out the Inka-Gold again so that it matched in with the other embellishments.

The flowers were either wild orchid crafts, prima, or other flowers from my stash.

My first altered letter, and I had a lot of fun.
