Boo!

I'm all about holiday decorating, and recycling.  Found the perfect solution!

ASCP and wax, cutout letters, mod podge, and some black glitter!

Glitter Pumpkin

I've been busy with pumpkins! I sold all of them at Chartreuse's Market Days 2 weeks ago!

Girly Chair

I have the knack of finding really ugly chairs...it's a gift.

 

 

With paint, left quilted silk fabric and a bit of gilding, it's now a pretty girly chair.

 

   2 coats of ASCP Pure White; finished with oyster pearl paint/water wash

 

   

     I had some left over fabric from two living room chairs; deep watermelon color quilted raw silk

The handle was an ugly bronze.  1 coat ASCP pure white; 1 coat oyster/water wash; venetian gold rubbed gilding; final coat of oyster/water wash

Decoupaged Pumpkin

I love, love, love Pinterest!

Saw some decoupaged pumpkins and this is my version:

I painted a dollar store pumpkin and some faux leaves ASCP white. Tore up my old English Lit book; cut up some left over burlap ribbon; gathered some sticks and small branches from the yard. I soaked the pages in watered down coffee, then let them dry; tore the pages into small strips, dipped them in mod podge/water mixture and placed the strips all over the pumpkin...making sure to overlap the strips.  While the pumpkin was drying, I cut up pieces of the branch for the pumpkin stem; applied Elmers glue to the pieces and leaves then rolled all of them in Martha Stewart glass glitter.  Before I assembled everything, I sprayed the pumpkin with Mod Podge sealer.  Then I went to town with a hot glue gun...et finis!
