Recent Designs and Still Organizing

I saw "Man Of Steel" last night.  Which, has nothing to do with this post. LOL  I loved the movie though.



How do you like my script on stone?  Something I'm playing with right now.




I'm also working with some of the salvaged wood and metal I have lying around.




I applied one of my vintage images to a salvaged  piece of fencing I painted.  After distressing it, I topped it off with a metal fleur-de-lis.




She sold very quickly to my friend Nancy.




I just finished this next one.  The same idea here, with a little more embellishment,








and function.



I'm still organizing, and going through containers in the garage (a.k.a. The Abyss).  Thus, I have quite a few projects in various stages of completion.

I'm planning to redesign this chandelier, and,

Yes, lots to do.  In the meantime, I'll be




See ya soon.

    Love your Joan of Arc - that's the name of my church, too!

    The rock crafts - very nice.

    We were going to see Man of Steel tonight and we were about 20- minutes too late deciding and missed the last one unless we wanted to see it in 3D - and we didn't feel the need.

    Hopefully Sunday, a good Father's Day movie I would think!

    The script on stone is a very unique idea! That would make a great piece somewhere. I love it. We're going to see Man of Steel later this afternoon too. Looking forward to it!

    Wow - love the stone pieces! Also fascinated by the pieces on the salvage wood -- just the right amount of embellishments and 'extra touches' to make them beautiful!

    Rosemary, I love all your creativity. I know you probably have had a tutorial on how you transfer your scrip and designs, if you do could you share that again or let me know which post.
    Thanks so much!
