WOYWW One-Two-OH

Last week, I promised to show my WOYWWer friends the completed project that was in my sealed plastic bag. If you aren't sure what a WOYWW is, go to Julia's Stamping Ground and check out a bunch of links to participants' Wednesday work desks.

To make this post as short as possible, I will refer you to this previous blog post I call Mess in a Bag, where I explain how I made this assemblage from a baby tee, caulk, water, and fluid acrylic paint, on a decorated chipboard substrate.


Also last week, I explained I had a few rocking horses left I could show. I am not sure how many of them I have brought to your attention, but I know I've never shown these two.


However, I may have shown one or both of these painted wooden horses that are definite siblings to the wooden one I brought out today. I have several of the ceramic rockers (shown in the first photo above) that are made by Hallmark. The only difference is the color of the gilding.


And because I know you can't really see the assemblage due to the light on my dining room table (which became my work desk today),


I'm trying to show it a bit closer. Click any photo to enlarge.


I realize my camera leaves something to be desired, but hopefully, you'll be able to see the details in one of these photos. Although I didn't get enough caulk on the tee, it still stiffened up quite nicely, after I positioned it and set the assemblage out to dry before I painted it. Have a super Wednesday everyone!

  2. I love your rocking horses... and your baby tee has turned out rather fabulous!! Love all the colours and the flowers sewn on... still not sure I would want to play with Liquid Nails... can imagine myself forever glued to the inside of a plastic bag... not really the look I'm going for!! ;)

  31. Wow how clever! How patient you are too. The last photo shows the detail really well. Well, I think it does..darkest background - I guess you're the only one who can truly tell!

  32. Elizabeth where do you get your ideas from?? I love the assemblage but have to admit last week I was thinking "she's doing what??"!!! Huh?? But I like the result. What would you do with a piece of art like that?

  33. I've never used caulk before... does it really stiffen up quite hard when it dries? Might have a few ideas for that if it does :) I think you've just inspired me - like I'm not living in enough of a crafty mess as it is right now! LOL
    Love how you work... a real talent :)
    Have a wonderful WOYWW!
