DISCOVER...

what's going on over at Bird is the Word.... oh, yeah, it's..... DISCOVER!!! That's the word & you can find the post for it HERE.
I was checking out Keren Tamir's FAB blog & really connected with her DT eg for BITW... she was writing how she'd love to visit Italy... & I remembered the AMAZING times DH & I had exploring Italy, France & England [at different times, of course!!] .....& I wanted to show that. After all, travel is one of the ways many, many people discover the world around them as well more about themselves:):)
So, after checking the BITW site, I DISCOVERED you can do OTP projects as well as LO's. GREAT, since I'd just picked up this wooden [pine] frame in the Op Shop on Monday for $2!!!
I am soooo excited that I managed to do this, that there's going to be a few photos on the way through. Hope you can put up with the dribble... otherwise skip down the post to post to DISCOVER my entry:):):) I'm liking this word.......
Orf we goooooo:

After gesso-ing the wood frame & adding alphas.

I added the glittery, hot pink & black eiffel tower.... not QUITE the colour scheme I had in mind...

So....after the inital layer of paint, gessoed it up:)

And after the 2nd layer of paint [blue this time:)], & some stamping, here 'tis. All pretty:):)

Just in case you were getting bored, here's the finished product. I took these photos in France, down the South West. That door is just a door in the street! The Roman statue is part of a museum in what was an old church!

Do you like what I've done to Big Ben???!!!! Those American Crafts glittery [in a good way] brads have been 'the' best buy:):)

 

I guess I'd better stop now. Thanks to Bird is the Word for this 'DISCOVER' word.... it made me pull out those old photos...
