I guess you all get to read this post backwards today...oops:) This is my finished piece after rummaging through my shed/shop this afternoon and gathering a few boards together, then handpainting (yes as you can tell the letters are far from perfect) the letters. This would be a fun wedding gift, don't you think?
I had just enough weathered cedar boards to do this. I screwed them each side by side into this wood frame I have kept for ages. I guess I was just waiting to come up with a new way to use it besides obvious uses. I just love the aged wood grain against the crisp white...sort of beachy, don't you think?Here it is after being painted and assembled. Love. Oh and don't mind the jungle grass, I realize it needs cut but it will have to wait a couple more days because I just got done planting my vegetables yesterday and that was enough "yard work" for me this week :)
Here was my original pile, although this photo was taken after I had cut all the cedar boards. I swear I am not a hoarder, I just like to keep a little bit of scrap around for a day like today and get those creative juices flowing.
Chances are some of you have treasures just waiting to be transformed as well! Hope you like! Happy scrapping!
