Hi everyone!
Today I'm featuring two more spring finishes that I've added to my decor this year!
The first is "Welcome Spring" by Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle and Thread. This piece took a totally different turn from what I had originally intended -- but that's okay. I found this frame at Michaels (it was actually a print that I covered), and it was the perfect size height wise, so I decided to add some buffalo check fabric to the side to extend the piece to fit. I edged the finish with some coordinating handmade trim and then added a bow with a large decorative egg button. The small nest is not permanently attached yet. I'm still trying to figure out if I actually like it there!
The second piece was "Basketful of Spring Time", again by Brenda Gervais. I stitched this piece on Vintage Country Mocha Lugana and changed some colors to match my decor. The piece its on came from Michaels, and it had a dark brown stain around the edges. I wanted it to be a lighter wood so I dry-brushed it white, and then mounted the stitched piece on buffalo check fabric. The metal flowers were tricky to work around, but I was able to get the piece glued in the center nicely. The only issue I had was the aqua from the bunny's sweater didn't come out in the flowers, so I quickly made a coverbutton of some coordinating fabric and glued it to the center of the blue flower to tie it in. PIece of cake!
