After scouring Pinterest for this years inspiration, I became inspired by so many things, to name a few; gold glitter (duh!), abstract paintings, pom poms and some others that I will share with you later! And to be perfectly honest, I tackled all of these today and loved every second of it!
Here is a pic of the beginning stages of our Fall mantle:::::
Starting from the Left:::::
>>Glitter Pine Cones-- I collected Pine Cones and painted the tips with Mod Podge and then sprinkled with glitter!
>>Pom-Pom Garland--This was sooo easy and I'm obsessed ( I think Gianna needs some for her room)!! I bought four colors of Pom Poms at a local craft store and used a needle a thread! I actually created three different strands. When threading, I used a double layer of thread, put a needle at the other end and poked the needle through the middle of each Pom Pom!
>>Abstract Painting-- First, a confession---I did not do this today, but I did do it over the weekend while my daughter and I had an afternoon of art! She actually was intrigued when she caught me painting, so I set her up and let he go! I'll share her creation with you soon!
I've been wanting a piece of "art" on my mantle but could never find the colors I wanted. So I bought a crazy array of colors and just went with it. The great thing about this is, it's error free! It does take a little patience, because you have to wait for certain layers to dry, but other than that it's a "Do Whatever You Want" kinda piece of art!!!
After completing this today I have become even more inspired to Create! Creating for me is not always about the finished product (believe me there goes a lot unfinished), but the process. As the picture reads "Create your own Joy."
