Experimenting with fabric flowers and shells

I created this wreath while playing around with burlap and an old grapevine wreath that came from a long ago project. I read about making these fabric roses and had a piece of muslin left over from another project plus a couple of jars of shells that I brought back from a trip to the ocean. I just added the use of my trusty glue gun and away we went. A morning well spent!

Mod Podge and Candle Lamps

Before

I found these candle lamps at a tag sale and thought I could make something unique with them. I started with tissue paper and covered the glass globes using my fav medium - Mod Podge. Then I stamped some of my tissue paper with birds and vines using my favorite brown ink. Birds are such a huge motif and remind me of my garden right now (my birds are all nesting and getting their families started). I dressed each glass globe with an antique key and some burlap ribbon secured with a vintage shell button.
