This time I thought I would try to do crackle on wood. The IKEA frame was bought many years ago, so you can see some aging sign on the paper that covers the back of the frame.

I used Jo Sonja carbon black as the basecoat, applied Plaid crackle medium and then used a mixture of 2 tones of pink color from Americana as the top coat.

The napkin was bought from a seller online. The floral motifs are small and just nice to fit the width of the wooden frame.

I think I will do another one frame like this for my own use later.

Now I have one with apple motif, another with peach and the old one with lemon design. There is another work-in-progress for grape motifs.

I’m not sure how many more of these fruits tin I will making in years to come, but if I find anymore paper napkin with beautiful fruits design that is suitable to add to my tin collection, I will surely make another one..heh!

If you notice, the one with gloss varnish looks really glossy compared to the other two tins with normal decoupage varnish.

I finally get the chance to snap and edit the picture of this decoupage apple tin. Well, it’s actually an empty tin of button mushroom, which has been cleaned, sealed and painted with primer.

Remember the previous entry about the paper napkin with apple motifs? Here is the outcome after many days of working on the empty tin.

For this decoupage project, I used gloss varnish. After about 3 layers of the varnish, it looks really glossy. Actually I thought of applying opal dust on some of the motif, but I was in a rush and put on varnish after the second day of sealing all the paper napkin motifs..isk!

Maybe I will put on some just to experiment on what will happen if we put the opal dust after we already applied 3 layers of varnish. Will share later once I manage to find the time to do so.

I decided to accompany Hubby to his company’s annual dinner at last minute. Even though the theme is Movie Night but with the limited time, I have nothing more extravagant to wear. Plus being a spouse means I have no chance to be in the best dress nomination..heh!

I still have the leftover of the beads and sequins in pink, white and clear color so I decided to add some to the floral pattern on the sleeves.

I thought of adding more to the front side of the baju kurung, but then the clear, shiny beads were no more in stock. Maybe next time when I go shopping I will buy some more to add on the beading work so that this pink, black baju kurung will look more stylish..heh!
