What is your favorite?

Do you like Wine, maybe a Cosmo or a Gimlet?   Do you drink Skinny Girl?'

We came up with a perfect hostess gift or keeper as a fun and purposeful upcycled project.    

Stephanie and I collaborated, and with some inspiration from the Muse, developed a darling wine accessory!



This starts out as plain old coasters you might get at a restaurant or bar.   Then collages are added to create the right mood.  Using a cropadile, holes are punched, a metal ring inserted and simple wine glass charms are made and inserted onto the ring or each coaster hole.   This keeps both items together so there is no searching for one or the other.    We like the idea of variations using a martini motif or hot pink and black for the Girls!

Have some fun and try it.  Our collages include wine labels and other advertising that is PERFECT for the project....see them here, along with our glues.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
