Three coats of paint, lots of cutting and glueing, three coats of sealer, beading and wiring, and finally they’re done. I had fun making them even with all the time involved.

These are some ACEO that I made using packing tape transfers of womens faces over paper with handwritten lines of poetry. I used colored chalks and fine point acid free pens to add touches of color to the black and white images. Some ink stamping was used as well as oil pastels. They’re all sealed with a matte sealer.

These cards are listed Here on Ebay.

These are photo’s of a wood cover memory book I just finished. I stained the wood with walnut stain then collaged the front with all sorts of ephemera, ribbons, charms, acrylic paints, oil pastels, copies of vintage photo’s, buttons, a collaged hang tag, vintage sheet music.
Inside the book are sheet protectors, the kind you buy in the office or school supply dept. of any store. I cut scrapbooking papers down to size and put two sheets in each protector. These can be taken out and decorated with photo’s, collage, journaling , etc. The whole book comes apart easily with the two pieces of hardware that screws it together to make working with it easy or to add more pages.

I bought the unfinished book from an online wholesaler of unfinished wood crafts about 8 years ago, they’ve been in a box in the back of my closet for that long. Did some housecleaning and found all sorts of craft projects to play with.
I have this book up for auction on Ebay right now. I included the four collaged tags and the Cricut cut letters shown in the photo’s. My Ebay seller name is briar_rose_prims.
