patina and opals

Fun play day today with lots of goodies
from hubby's shed...and some I had
purchased.
The image is a free one from Gecko Galz
for a challenge they are running for this
month of September.
Patina rusting paste, Opal magic paints, gears,
cogs, the works burger in other words.
Lindy's sprays, Inka gold paste, lots of lace,
builder's tape and a wooden frame were used.

I have never really made anything like this before so
you can image how thrilled I was with the colours
and texture.  Not everyone's 'cup of tea' but very
relaxing and using the brain of what to do next
in itself is rewarding..

Oh, my GOSH, Annie!!! Oh, my gosh! The patina on this is AMAZING! Opal is my birthstone and I just love the look of it. That's not the half of what I love about this. Just the fact that you made it yourself is blowing my mind. Looks like your hubby is missing a few things from his shed, but I see so much more, too. Fantastic!
