Hello friends,
Thanks for popping by the Shabby Art Boutique. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable and creative weekend.
I’m sure I’m not the only one struggling with the fact that today is the first day of August. . . this year is whizzing by far too quickly for me. Remember what summer was like when you were a kid? The season seemed to span an eternity and Christmas might as well have been a million years in the future. But then you grew older. Summers pass in quick succession, Christmases and birthdays sweep by like pages in a flip book. . . and now my calendar pages are being ripped off far too quickly.
Well. . . they do say “Time flies when you are having fun”.
Speaking of time. . . do you like this vintage look French clock face I’ve just made?
Remember how I teased you in my last post with the big thrifting treasure I scored [giggle]. . . well, to my delight I picked up a box of wooden plates, bowls and turned wood pieces. How perfect is that for a decorative painter and not bad for a non thrifting day!
This piece looked too thick to be a plate or platter. . .
not deep enough for a bowl. . .
but in its raw state seemed perfect for a clock face.
I incorporated this graphic from the Graphics Fairy with an image I had of a Roman numeral clock face and used the reverse image transfer technique to adhere it. Some flyspecking, distressing and sanding added the final touches for an aged French inspired decor piece.
I had intended to sell it as part of my new French Farmhouse Collection. . . hmmm, I’m not sure I can part with it now!!
Maybe I’ll just enjoy my French inspired clock for a bit while I work on transforming the rest of the goodies in my box.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
