Shabby Chic Feminine Magnetic N

Howdy, I had so much fun creating a beautiful monogram for a customer, that I just had to make another to put in my Etsy shop, HERE.
I take naked, plain, boring letters, and paint them, add paper, trims, buttons, and bows!  To create beautiful, one-of-a-kind, magnetic monograms.  Here is my latest creation, and yes, it is available for purchase!


These little beauties are approximate 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall.  I love to add layers of pretty pieces from my stash.  Unfortunately, the photography doesn't do them justice.  You can't tell in the photo, but that pale pink thin tinsel is actually tied around the khaki seam binding, with a button between them.  
If you would like a special magnetic letter, too! just convo me @ my Etsy shop.  Let me know what you love, what you hate, and attach any inspirational photo.  Give me a week, and see what I have created just for YOU!

Shabby Chic Altered Monogram G

Howdy.  I hope you are having a great holiday weekend.  Please don't forget, to take a moment and thank those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, so you can enjoy your freedoms.   God Bless America!
I love to create, and make all sorts of items: cards, cakes, altered monograms, pies, altered art, gourmet dinners, and so much more!  I sell a fair amount of my crafts in my Etsy shop HERE.  And I will even create something special and custom for a client.   All you have to do is ask.  Easy Peasy.  Just let me know what  you like, what you hate, color(s), and any inspirational photos you may have. And that is exactly what I did for a special lady Lari.  She wanted a custom altered monogram, and sent me a photo of the space where it will go, and viola!  Here is what I did:



I covered the naked letter with this beautiful green and pink pattern paper.  I painted the letter a white-cream color.  And then added pretty little details!  There is a piece of pink cotton ruffle material.  And then a double white cotton ruffle material.   I tied a piece of pale pink seam binding around the letter, and made a triple bow.  I tied a white button to the bow with thin silver tinsel.  I tucked a flat back faux pearl and button at the bottom.  I tucked in a white resin frame, just above the bow.  I added white paint and glitter to the pink paper blossom, and then adhered it inside the frame.  I tucked in a little white tulle and pearls.  I painted a metal bird with white paint and dipped it into some glitter.  I took a piece of sand paper and distressed the bird a bit.  I adhered the bird to a stick pin, and tucked him in behind the frame as well.  I added a vintage button and another flat back faux pearl.   I added a trio of flat back faux pearls to the leg of the G.  
This is a custom order from my Etsy shop.  Distressed, vintage, shabby chic, feminine, and just plain pretty!  I have several different letters with slightly different looks.  If you don't see what you are looking for, just convo me, and give me the opportunity to create something one-of-a-kind, and unique just for you!   I don't charge more for custom orders.  Just ask that you give me a week, to create something beautiful just for you!
