WHAT IS CREATIVITY?? Creativity is Endless - You Can Make it if You Can Imagine It....

Hi there, since March is National Craft Month I would like to invite you to join us as we celebrate creativity with a blog hop for etchall®. If you are not familiar with etchall products, let me know a little bit; their etching products are reusable, yes you heard it right, reusable, these are available as a crème and as a liquid. These products allow you to etch not only glass but also ceramic and slate. These products are not only amazing but very easy to use, they are perfect for creating home decor projects, jewelry, holiday gifts and my favorite you can recycle/reuse items by giving them a new look a new use instead of throwing them away. The etching is permanent. Make sure to start the blog hop back over at DCC blog to see everyone's etched projects. Today I want to share with you some of the many different ways that I've had fun playing with these etching products. Below I share with you some of my favorite projects. I hope you like them.

I love the fact that I can still do this but in different ways.  I don't do oil, water or chalk paintings any more - not because I don't like them but because I did these back when I was in HS a lot, and now I like to paint in different ways.  I love painting on everything I can paint on, including my sweat pants! LOL my daughter hates it when I wear these out on public. This is one of my most recent works - here is a wood frame that I colored using Tim Holt's alcohol Inks and perfect pearls - then I used paper products, and butterflies to finish it  This wood frame was painted using Plaids and Tim Holts products and paper products from DCWV.  I made this last year and sold at an art fair. Now lets go back a few years back and take a look at what I've done before. These photos are from som...

This frame can be used for anyone in mind from sister to mother, to wife, etc. I wanted to make a romantic frame after making two Halloween frames. Here are the materials I used to make this frame: Plaids heart wood frame Plaids apple barrel pure silver Plaids folkart extreme glitter in silver Chipboard letters I got from a kit i got from Charity wings - they had a web show from last CHA Tim Holtz distress ink fired brick 3-D butterflies (don't have the brand name) Recolections glitter adhesive borders - black flowers Adtech hot glue Ranger liquid pearls petal pink First step was to paint the entire frame in pure silver - decided to paint with the silver extreme glitter right away before the pure silver dried. Once the paint was completely dried - I hot glued the leaves and then the flowers until I had something I liked I added the black glittered flower border and placed it on the bottom of the frame and a small piece on the top of the frame as you see on the photo...
