Here's the Latest

More efforts, due to y'alls wonderful suggestions. Debbie suggested that I try some scrim. First, I looked up the word scrim, and then I knew that I had none. But, I had this ribbon. I realize, from looking at the first pictures (2 posts ago) that I was mixing metal, wood, ceramic, brown, black, blah blah. No wonder it was too much!

It hit me last night that all the things that were on this shelf before Christmas are still in a box in the garage. Perhaps this is part of my issue. I'm not working with tried and true!

The second largest mirror has a yellow tint to it. hmmm. I thought that maybe the rust/metal might look better with the primitive shelf.

After I walked around the house saying "white, cream, silver", as suggested by Lisa, I had lots of things to choose from. And then, I tried brown.

I know. I went a whole different direction. It's coming around. I swear I'll move on soon. Jan suggested old books and binoculars. I think those are boxed up in the pre-Christmas boxes, as well. I so need to quit my real job so that I can play all day!

By the way, note to self: if you upload pictures centered, they will be centered. Holy cow.

Now, onto another project in the making. I saw this on Ki's blog yesterday. Love it! Of course, mine won't be so fancy, and I'm fairly certain that there will be a different twist. But, here's the screen I have to play with.

I know it's plain. But, that leaves it wide open for embellishments, eh?

Are your wheels turning?

Happy Day!
