Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and managing to get some crafty time and a warm hello to my new followers. The latest challenge at Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities is painted industrial. Although I can't tell you how to do the technique you will find it out Page 46 of Tim's new book.
I started with a little bargain frame which had a burlap centre, my husband had kindly brought it into me as a present knowing I would enjoy altering it. I sanded it down and painted it adding some tissue tape.
I'll just show you round some photo's now as can't give too much away and a lot is self explanatory.
Thanks to all who continue to support my creativity looking and leaving comments on my blog. It's really appreciated.Till next time,
Julie x
