"Re-purpose, re-use, recycle, and alter - words that are music to my ears! Is there something destined for the trash heap that you can give a new art-filled life? Or perhaps you're tired of that old wall hanging - can you give it a make-over? My challenge for you this week is to take something old and make it new again!"
Here's my altered frame
The frame is in a very fetching black plastic that I bought as a set of three for not very much at all, thinking that I would alter them. Of course they just got in the way for about a year, and then were burried in a corner of my craftroom where the sun doesn't shine.
It was treated to many coates of Pebeo paint, and has been randomly stamped with Text Block 3 This was then heat embossed, which proves that you can emboss plastic, but it smells a bit funny (and where's that smoke coming from) :-)
Don't you just love this pooch?, his name is Vic and is one of Roc's new release stamps.
As soon as I heard his name I was back in 1980 (OMG 1980 really!!) and the old Department S song Is Vic There?
Ah happy days I had a Human League hair cut, and it was all my own colour :-) sigh...
Anyway Vic has been stamped and coloured with pencils.
This was a really fun challenge Valerie, and I hope you join in too. Please remember the rules, there aren't many but they are important

ReplyDeleteFabulous altered frame and love the fun coloured images xx
ReplyDeleteA brilliant "save," Sue! Love the vintage frame and love even more that it now showcases something quite different from perhaps its original intent--something more glamorous, perhaps, but certainly not more fun! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteAwesome dogness!
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend xx
What a fantastic makeover for that frame - it looks wonderful! And the rainbow dogs are very cute.
