Halloween Crafting

Fall is a favorite time of year in this part of the country. The colors change so abruptly and are usually very intense. It seems that the day after school starts; it's officially Fall.

To get you in the crafting mood we have put together a couple of collage inspirations using our vast array of German "Dresdens" etc. 

Enjoy

September Opening

Dresden Tiara Party

 

What could be more fun than a half dozen or so of your best buddies getting together for a "Dresden" Tiara party? Well that is just what we did yesterday on a relaxed Sunday afternoon.

With hands ready for crafting, everyone dove in.

 Building on golden "Dresden" embossed foil paper tiaras, layers of more embossed foil motifs, paint, glitter, crepe paper, silk ribbons and vintage bling the tiara's got more and more elaborate as the energy flew in the air.

 

Makenzie J. is making her princess tiara.

 {Fun for all ages!}

 Margo T. quickly creates a pretty vintage look.

 Roxanne W. has found her calling, wow!

As the tiara's are being built, they start to reflect the personality of the artist.

 Shawna J. with her tiara of Win!

Joyce W. makes a lovely creation.

 Megan R. Pretty in pink.

Tiara's fit for a Queen, or seven.

A lot of fun was had by all, even the guys got quite a chuckle.

Painted Swedish Bench

Ever since we added this bench to the shop I have been itching to paint it after purchasing it from a high end estate sale in prestigous "Minnetonka" MN. Since it was made by a very good furniture company, I decided it was good enough to put my time and energy into.

I Used a mixture Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, a gray and an off white. Then distressed it and wax stained it to give it a authentic Swedish Gustavian Look.

Next I re-upholstered the seat with a gorgeous piece of heavyweight organic linen.

Simple.

{Isn't it fabulous?}

Gotta have it? It's in the shop right now.
