{And Another} Salvaged 'Junk' Angel

Well, the first one SOLD! so quickly... and I had requests from some lovely people to make more... SO, here she is "Shining Brightly"

She measures a wonderful 43" - from the top of her halo to the tip of her toes!

 Reclaimed Architectural Findings, Hardware, Kitchenware, and more have been pieced together to make this sweet Angel up! 

Little Angel Wings

 Her Skirt is half of a globe, which has been lined with scraps of vintage lace and bits of material

A gathering of goodies

 Grasped in her 'hand' is a grouping of mixed items, such as; a Mixed Media Domino, Chandelier Crystals, Teeny-Tiny Light Bulbs, and a Turquoise Leather Heart

Also Shining Brightly are Rusty Metal Stars strung together on rusty wire!

A fun piece to make! 

Enjoy this day!

A {Little} Angel - Salvaged Junk Project

I have been getting my hands dirty while sorting&purging the garage {more sorting... less purging}! Some of the items have been getting put to {good} use - like all of the 'junk' repurposed, here! 

Salvaged 'Junk' Angel

Made using old scraps of wood, furniture bits, hardware, tin tile, bed springs, and more - she is just the sweetest thing! 

Quite long; measuring 39" from tips of the toes to the top of her halo!

No project is complete without a {vintage} brooch!

A Thimble-Full of goodness!

Her hand holds a wire heart, simple cross, mixed media domino, old key, and some {vintage} tinkling bells! 

Enjoy this day!

Fall - A {MUCH} Welcome Change!

I HATE muggy weather... and, where I come from {a smallish town in SouthWestern, Ontario}, it.gets.hot. It seems as though the seasons have changed... and the Fall weather is {finally} upon us!  

This also means the house needs a little 'seasonal decoration' to mark this wonderful time of the year!  

Mantle - I decided to go with Owls - mainly because I bid and won an adorable, little owl in a recent auction. Also, they remind me of my Gram, who was a Tawny Owl in the {Canadian} Girl Guides. 

 {My Gram's 'Tawny Owl} ... and some twigs 'stolen' from my neighbour's yard

My 'auction' owl, a painted, vintage Crown Mason Jar and owls by John James Audubon

I made the bunting from brown, gold and burlap material I had around the house... a quick project {just cut strips of material and layer them... fold over and tie ... thread string through loop and hang. 

The leaves {on the stolen sticks and bunting} are cut from Pop Cans, using Tim Holtz die - Tattered Leaves.  I found a GREAT tutorial on this, using alcohol inks at... Saved By Love Creations ... the only thing I did differently as to add the veins in my leaves by 'bending and folding' them into shape. 

 {see... pop cans}

... and, also, the front door received a new wreath...

... complete with a second, adorable, auction owl! 

Hoping that your fall decorating is going well!
