I also made a what was I thinking commitment. Earlier this year I was asked to sit on a committee that organizes luncheons for a club I belong to. Then I was asked to make table decorations for a couple of the luncheons. So far so good. Before I knew it I had offered to make 8 centerpieces. The theme: fashion from the turn of the 20th century.
Of course I couldn't just slap something together. Noooooo I had to make 8 different pieces; each distressed. This required 2 coats of paint and 1 coat of crackle medium before I could do any of the fun stuff.
While I was prepping the boxes I was gathering images. Thankfully Graphic 45 paper company had a Couture Collection available. For weeks I was up to my elbows in paint, gel matte medium, dimensional medium, paper, bling and various other pieces of ephemera. When all was said and done I had spent 7 hours on each piece. Thankfully that's behind me.
