diy

I found a poem that I stored away from a friend

& wanted to display it on my gallery wall...

I was given this standard wooden frame from my best friend, Catherine. 

Was never sure what I wanted to do with it, figured this was the best opportunity :) 

 I painted the frame with acrylic paint in color: flesh

& hot glued gold ribbon on the edge to add a little bit of flair.

When the paint on the frame was drying I decided to paint the border of the glass gold, to give it an antique feel.

I love the way it turned out!

& I absolutely love what it adds to my wall!

Below is another diy that I did last night. 

We had some plastic candleholders just sitting on the kitchen counter. 

I really liked the design of them just not the icky beige color. 

I spruced them up with a layer of acrylic paint in Emerald

& then an antique finish in gold. 

I've really been digging metallic accents in everything I create. 

Adds a bit of vintage elegance, don't ya think?

Have you been creating anything lately?

What's your take on metallic?
