Tales from the Weekend

Had a busy busy weekend but before I get onto that I wanted to share a couple of pieces decorated in a shabby style, first up are these wooden wall candle holders I got from Country Love Crafts.





Once decorated they look look great on the wall in the dining room!








Carrying on with the shabby theme, I picked up this box with handle from The Stamp Attic on Saturday.




This is the transformation and it now holds flavoured olive oils!
PS It also holds wine bottles perfectly ;)



On sunday I taught a private crop and we made shabby book boxes like the one below, unfortunately the french on this is wrong but it was corrected for the day :)








I will post some pictures of their finished boxes soon as they all looked amazing!

Ok onto Saturday, Here are all the altered Ikea mirrors produced on the scrapyard challenge workshop I held  at The Stamp Attic, same technique but all so very different! It was good to catch up with everyone again.













Thanks for reading,

Andy
