in case you were asking yourself what else i did with my weekend... well i finally made that art piece to put above the piano! it's perfect! though i contemplate hanging it a little higher tonight. some pics:
how did i do it? mod podge... LOTS of mod podge. if you have any kind of imagination at all then you know mod podge. ;) my sister-in-law sarah and i went garage sale-ing on saturday and scored that frame with some hideous canvas painting in it. paid $3. we pulled the frame and painting apart; scuffed up the frame with some sand paper; killz-ed the canvas so that ugly painting wouldn't show through my sheets of music (hoping that MY work of art is worth more than what i covered up!); we put down some random sheets of music (all browned with age) as background and slathered mod podge all over it; then i chose some cool-looking titles (same browned pages), then burned the edges of those sheets; we placed those on top of the background (not so randomly) and slathered more mod podge all over them; let it dry over night; then put the frame back over it and it was ready to shine!
what ELSE did we do? well we went SHOPPING of course! we went to gardenridge and i scored some pictures for my guest bathroom:
and this aged-looking clock to go above my truly aged trunk that belonged to my great-great-great (i think) grandfather:
no applause is necessary...

thank you! i paid the most for the clock (slightly over priced) but it was worth it to finally have the perfect piece with that trunk!
