Mixed Media Hanger

 Morning and I have two posts today the first one is for a  GDT spot at Creative Artiste and I made   a hanger out of an unused hamster walkway and decorated the back.

I gessoed the board then added distress inks and assorted stamps,texture paste through a stencil,then crackle glaze.Added a wooden heart swiped with Gilding Polish and added wooden Bees, a little wooden Ladybird,some flat back black pearls,a couple of screwhead brads(with the backs cut off) and some little little gems from a broken bracelet.

This is quite the stunner Carol and so ingenious to upcycle a hamster walkway. It's one of those projects I wish I could pick up and take a closer look at, so I could see the textures paste and crackle glaze, nonetheless, it all looks amazing.
