Birds on a Branch
No power tools for me this week...my vertigo has been, shall we say, winning? It makes everything a challenge and using power tools is a really bad idea. In between visits to the chiropractor, eply maneuvers, and resting on the couch, I did manage to get a little staining/painting done. This design was inspired by an item I saw at a home decor store. I wasn't crazy about their version, so I got out my pencil and starting designing my own. When I was finally happy with what I had, I cut-out my patterns on the back of a cereal box, or it might have been a 12-pack of beer. Every kind of thin cardboard or chipboard is fair game around here! After cutting everything out from pallet wood, the birds were rubbed with stain on a rag. The branch was dry-brushed with white craft paint then rubbed with stain. Sorry, I don't have pictures of that. I tend to get a little enthusiastic about my projects and forget to take pictures. ...
