Chipping Away and A Perfect Spot for a Heart

Still chipping away with my paint finishes.



I went nuts with both the wood heart, and, the key.  Lots of layers, and chipping.




One of my cross hearts.  A little more distressed than the other ones.








Here's another heart and key.












A small composition frame.








I created a dimensional fleur-de-lis on board,




followed by lots of chipping.




A paper mache  box, with a fleur-de-lis applique.





Before I go, I just had to share what my friend Sandy of For the Love of White did with one of my cross hearts she purchased from my shop.  She found the perfect spot for it.

Eeeeeeeeee, I just love seeing where some of my creations end up.  This was definitely meant to be.

See ya soon.

  5. I am loving the extra distressing--love how old it makes things look. Like they have a story to tell. I'm honored you posted my photos--I do think that cross/heart found its perfect spot in my home :) So happy with my purchase!

  10. Stunning pieces Rosemary. I read Behind the Spotlight today, had the catch up. Loved it and was wondering if that frame with the un on top in that picture is t he one that is around the mirror I purchased from you?? It looks so similar.

  15. Your beribboned heart and key are one of the prettiest creations of layering and chipping I've ever seen.
    Incredibly, they look so soft and fragile, like a gift tied with a bow.

  16. You do such a great job with the layers of paint etc that you use to make the piece look old. If I saw that in a shop, I would never know it had a former life as something else. That heart looks like it belongs on those wings, doesn't it?
