Altered Spoon Blog Hop with Susan Brown...Happy Blogiversary

Please join me in wishing a big HAPPY 5th BLOGIVERSARY to Susan M. Brown @ "SBARTIST: Painting in the Dark". I was thrilled when Susan asked me to play along and alter wooden spoons...it was a 2-fold mission for me...stretch my creativity and celebrate my retirement as a High School Foods teacher. 

After a lot of creative thought I decided to do something that I could hang and remind me of how much I love the beach...the sun, the sand, the water, the seashells...my happy place. So here are  2 projects that I created by altering wooden spoons.

I created a swag from materials & colors you would find on the beach. The spoons were misted and glammed with Tattered Angels products and embellished with sea glass, shells and beach symbols. A canvas flower embellished with sea glass and burlap rope finishes of the decoration.

Because I only used 3 of the 4 wooden spoons I decided to create a hanger for a beach sign and a seashell wind chime. This wooden spoon was painted and a heavy coat of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in Sandy Beach was applied, along with a small macrame hanger I created.

Materials used:

Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue, Liquid Scrap Dorts

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist ~ Crushed Shells, Atlantic Beach

Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam ~ Chandelier, Pixie Dust, Sandcastle

Tattered Angels Chalkboard ~ Sandy Beach, Splash

Canvas Corp Burlap Flower & Rope

Make sure you hop on to the blogs DeeDee Catron, Roni Johnson, Barbara Rankin, Leslie-Rayhe Strickland and Becky Voth to see what they have created with wooden spoons.

Thanks for stopping by and helping me wish Susan a big, huge HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!
