DÅ TROR INTE TOMTEN PÅ DIG! Hihihihi….

Jag har “presenterat” honom för er tidigare,

min rara Tomte.

Bilden är från en servett som jag har ”decoupagat” på en tegelpannan.

Texten har jag skrivit ut på ett mullberrypapper och sedan “decoupagat” på.

Man kan göra så fina tavlor av trasiga tegelpannor,

det blir unika och uppskattade presenter oxå.

Den här gjorde jag nog 2002-2003,

hade det varit idag skulle jag ta till lite Crackle paint och Distress ink.

Tack för titten!

Kjaaaaaam….

Moje schowki na kolczyki, łańcuszki, gumki do włosów i tym podobne akcesoria zyskały dziś nowy wygląd. Pierwotnie motyw bluszczu miałam wykorzystać do ozdobienia innego przedmiotu, ale zmiana tych  rattanowych pojemniczków już od dłuższego czasu chodziła mi po głowie, no i w końcu się za nie zabrałam.

W ostatnim czasie bluszcz zagościł również w moich doniczkach na podwórku – bardzo bym chciała, żeby rozrósł się do takich rozmiarów, aby mógł zakryć choć trochę pręty, po których się wspina.

W parku natomiast zielony cały czas bluszcz oplatający drzewa i płożący się po ziemi ładnie kontrastuje z ciepłymi barwami jesieni.

Przechodząc jednak do sedna moich dziesiejszych rozmyślań:

Czasami używa się określenia “kobieta-bluszcz” w aspekcie zależności od innych. Ma ono wtedy negatywny wydźwięk ze względu na przypisywanie Kobiecie takich cech jak nieporadność, zagubienie, brak inicjatywy, niezdolność do samodzielnego funkcjonowania. Nie potrafią żyć bez Mężczyzny – porzucone przez jednego,wplątują się w sidła kolejnej miłości.

Jest też inny typ Kobiet: władcze, silne, sprawiające wrażenie(a czasem demonstrujace to na pikietach), że świat poradziłby sobie bez Mężczyzn.  Udowadniają sobie i wszystkim wokoło, że nie potrzebują nikogo, na kim mogłyby się czasem wesprzeć.

Są też i takie Kobiety, które potrafią połączyć swoją wewnętrzną siłę z zależnością od Mężczyzny. Te właśnie podziwiam. Znajdują złoty środek między szeptanymi wieczorem słowami: “Życia sobie bez Ciebie nie wyobrażam” a normalnym funkcjonowaniem podczas tygodniowego wyjazdu w podróż służbową.

Modne są ostanio książki czy też filmy o Kobietach, które pomimo najróżniejszych kłopotów, jakie niesie za sobą życie, wychodzą z nich obronną ręką. I chociaż na początku walczą same przeciwko całemu światu, to przecież pojawia się w końcu Ten, na którego ramieniu można się oprzeć i przy którym wiadomo, że dzięki Jego sile i Jej siła rośnie w potęgę.

Tego Wam życzę: abyście rośli wzajemnie w potęgę.

When we moved into our apartment, we first had to deal with a lot of stuff that had been abandoned by the previous renters. The ugly couch and loveseat? Out to the curb. The microwave oven with stand? Out to the curb. The medicine cabinet still full of toothbrushes, toothpaste, other medicine cabinet things? Everything dumped into a bag, then sprayed down with Lysol several times. The elephant and giraffe shaped plant holders? They functioned as parking space markers until they were thrown away. The old tv? To my sister. The horribly ugly lamps? To my brother. The side table? To my brother. The strange giant beer stein? To my brother. (He’s a college student. He needs ugly stuff to fill out his apartment)

The ugly bar stools? I’ve got a plan to make them not-so-ugly.

I got the idea when I saw this person’s etsy page. I bet I could do that. It probably wouldn’t look nearly as good. But why not?

I found an outdated transit system map and proceeded to search for other maps. I tried to stay Chicago and/or Illinois related. Using one of the greatest crafting materials ever invented, I was able to cover these two ugly bar stools. They may not look great, but they look a lot better.

If you want to try this out, I have some suggestions. Don’t be afraid to get messy. This works best if you really get your hands in it. I tried just using a foam brush, but it just doesn’t work as well as getting your hands into the project. If you are doing a bar stool or a chair, do the underside first. Then be sure to cover the very top of the legs and the very bottom of the legs. Once those are done, you can stand the chair or bar stool up and work quickly. Try to pick a material that holds some significance for you. Perhaps newspapers from an important date? Maps from a family vacation? Or maybe you are looking for magazine clippings that are of the same color? That might look pretty cool, too. When complete, be sure to cover the entire thing with more adhesive to form a protective coating.

Have fun!

Happy Holidays!

Creating custom ceramic tiles is a fast decoupage craft idea. Really inexpensive! Really cool gifts! Great craft idea for kids!!!

If you want to fore go the glue and crafting…we suggest creating the custom tile virtually using Cafepress. The tiles are great quality for the dollars spent. Word of caution. Use the Cafepress template and suggestions when creating your design. The templates are found in the Cafepress library. As an FYI…larger fonts… easier to read!  If this is to much to take in…contact us. We create custom tiles for people all the time. Just send us a high res image and we’ll do the rest…custom tiles cost $12.99 each plus shipping.

MATERIALS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO DECOUPAGE IT YOURSELF

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. ~George Patton

• Purchase ceramic tile of your choice – at least 4.25″ x 4.25″ {I prefer white or off white}
• Clean the tile with vinegar water mixture
• Gather photo’s, wrapping paper, tissue paper or images that have been copied at the local print shop or laser printer…remember ink jet copies smear:)
• Using a foam brush apply adhesive to the tile surface…Weldbond adhesive, Mod Podge or Elmer’s…they all work great, Elmer’s is cheaper!
• Place background paper onto glued surface
• Let background paper dry a bit…
• Start gluing images on top of the background paper
• Smooth images…just a bit…to much fuss can cause ripping
• Let it dry…
• Add another coat of adhesive or Mod Podge
• Let it dry…
• Add another coat of adhesive or Mod Podge and so on…

The number of coats is entirely up to you. Make sure that you glue the sides of the tile as well…without gluing the tile to your table:) Prop it up on a can to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Buy a waterproof varnish at the local hardware or home improvement store. You might need a few more foam brushes.

• When the tile is completely dry…foam brush multiple coats of preferred varnish…letting the tile dry in between coats.
• Glue felt circles to the bottom of the finished tile, so that it doesn’t scratch the surface the final piece will be resting on.

Great hostess gift for Thanksgiving!

Get gluing…these could be done in an evening!

Until next time…
