It’s a Date!

Whilst at the Craft Barn last week, they were kind enough to let me choose a few wooden items to have a play with. I just had to have this wooden calendar!

DESK CALENDAR
The Calendar measures approx. 13x5.5x19cm & only costs £4.99!
First of all I aged the number and date blocks with Brushed Corduroy Distress ink followed by a coat of Decoart perfect crackle.

I then went to town with a steampunk style using Americana acrylic paint and a few odds & ends lying in the bottom of my scrap box!.

This will be the last steampunk piece for a little while as I am sure you're all getting very bored by me & also I have some new media that I really want to play with this week.

Bye for now,
Andy
