A Heart of Moss

I am trying to decide if I should wait to post pictures until I have projects finished, or if I should just keep an account of how things are coming. I'm thinking the latter.

I love going to the thrift store to see if there are any ugly things to be made beautiful.
The thing I've noticed is people look for things that have immediate gratification. For instance, a week or two ago I found a shelf that looked like it would be quite handy to hang jewelry on. The problem was, it had a nasty dirty blue color with spots of white on it!
Incredibly ugly.
I took it home and painted it.
Now, it is one of my most prized pieces. :)
The reason no one had bought the shelf, was because all people saw was the ugly blue color.

The other day, I bought a wooden heart with a big name on the front. I forgot to take a picture of the front until after I covered it with moss, but I have a picture of the back.

Next I took some Goop craft glue and pieced preserved moss onto the heart a bit at a time.

I'm going to let the glue dry overnight, and will attempt my hand at making some burlap ribbons to put on the heart...
