A NAUTICAL WOODEN PLAQUE

 Hello everyone..

Glad you liked  the ATC's, they were so much fun to make and I always, nearly always, make in bulk, well, 5,6,or 7 at once..to me that is bulk, and gives me background for more ideas that may pop in..

But today, I made a nautical wooden plaque for myself..

I purchased about 10 of these, very light wood, pokie tool goes straight through with no pressure to make a hole for the string..very good.

I glued and covered it with paper similar to this..a bit more greeny..

after shaving the edges I added a light coat, here and there, of Gesso..

Made the hole and added this sign from my nautical chipboard box

with a brad and threaded the string under the brad..

Little bits of onion bag netting glued in places..

And encircled the whole frame with string and hot glue..my poor delicate fingers, but I got there without too much damage..

then all my die cuts and ephemera and chipboard plus my resin mold stuff came out for 

embellishing..

I just kept piling them on and slipping some under that could go under and 

just had fun.

this shell is a mussel shell with actual beard left on it

so I added a couple of shells and a pearl to make it pretty and filled a gap.

White paint ready for sponging with a sponge to tone and highlight at the same time..

over everything..

lovely dimension..

and all done..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

luv CHRISSYxx
