old photos

My parents finally turned their film slides into photos...and I turned a couple of them into art..I decoupaged the 8x10 photos to canvas and voila..

This is my oldest sister Kristi in Venice..
This is my brother in the rubble in Germany..Couldn't have posed any better than this..



One of my parent's wedding photo...There were none in the house growing up..I think cause they just never thought about it..Till now..

headbands


Ok...I'm finally trying to learn how to do headbands..Since these are my first I think I'm allowed a little slack on perfection....I have great models which help the look alot..




Our friend Lauren was sweet to model for me..Thanks Lauren..

Touch up


Remember this window frame..I thought it was too boring so distressed it a little more, threw on some bling and rehung it..With a vinyl saying above it that says it all..Much better..

Failed project..Win for Anna-Mara

I saw this great idea of making a t-shirt into a cute tunic..Anna-Maria had a shirt that was stained on the bottom and I thought wow.."Let's do it." Well since I don't sew very often and am just learning, it didn't go well..But Anna-Maria has a great new apron..... I will attempt the shirt another day after another trip to the fabric store..At least I learned how to do ruffles..

Another fine window..


I decided to leave this window as au naturale as possible..Just a little clean up and it is ready to go...Beautiful...

Family window view



I love this project..Mom and Dad had old windows from the house they tore down and I begged them to keep them intact..After hauling all three up to Issaquah I got to work..This is the first one...I took pictures of the Salt Lake Temple doorknobs and enlarged it for this window..


I was so excited about posting this that I took the pictures with the paint was still wet..Next week I will have finished the next window project..
