Hobby Lobby Project

My two daughters love to go to Hobby Lobby. They ask to go all the time. Fortunately for them, their dance studio is in the same shopping center. 😂 We left a little early to go check it out and buy some items one of my daughters was needing to complete an art project she was working on. I have been redoing/decorating/organizing my studio and Hobby Lobby always has some cute finds. I found this on their sale aisle and thought I'd snag it since it was 75% off.

I forgot to take a picture of it before I started to tape it up to paint.
So please excuse the red tape. 😊

I used Apple Barrel's Bimini Blue matte acrylic paint and lightly dusted some fine glitter close in color for a soft sheen.

I made some cute flowers out of satin fabric, added some crystals and used my low heat glue gun to add it to the board.

I love this new addition to my art space. I am currently using it to put some of my paint brushes, pen paints, some embroidery items for quick access, since my embroidery machines are near by, and maybe a few pink starburst for motivation. 😜

Can I laser on glass?

Conversation with myself: Can I laser on glass? Well, I don't know, I haven't tried. 😂 It was my first attempt at lasering on glass. Next time I think I will make some minor setting adjustments. Depending on the design, I may want the image to be a bit clearer/sharper. But, since this design is a bit cute, spooky and going to be used as Halloween decor in our home, it works. The black roses were made using my laser, wood with acrylic paint. I know this is short but I hope it was sweet. I'm not sure where October went, but I wish you and yours a fun and safe Halloween. Thank you for stopping by and, Until next time, Maddie

Gold Leafing a Boutonniere

It was my first time to do a boutonniere and I thought I would try adding some gold leaf foil to a few roses and see how they turned out. They came out very nice, I thought. Some Supplies used: Add the adhesive where you want. You can put as much or little as you'd like. I was going for a bit of a drip on one of them. I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves. It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon. This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do. Thanks for popping in, Maddie

Are we Sleighin' or Slayin' ?

I hope you are having a great start to this new year! As I was putting up Christmas I thought about how I had not shown this cute wood round sign. I love that it can go up in October and stay up through Christmas. This sign gives me all the Hallmark feelings. I've been contemplating making a few of these to list. 🤔 I will get back to you on that. Speaking of Christmas - Anyone feel like it just zoomed right by at a high rate of speed this year? I totally did. Materials used: Wood, acrylic paint, gold, green and red foil paper and some rope and ribbon for hanging. Everything cut on my laser. Thank you for swingin' by. Until next time, Maddie
