A little late.....................

but at least it is on the right day............................

Another project made a few years ago in the project class I used to attend.....

 
a 4'x4' block of wood covered with craft metal which had been embossed and covered in black acrylic paint and then rubbed back to give an aged feel....................

 
the bottom panel was hammered at each corner from the reverse and then a cup shaped tool indented on the top to make it look like rivets......................(not a good explanation, sorry but don't actually know the name of the tools)....................................

 
the heart was placed so it angles away from the background and the wooden block was painted black to blend in...........................
 
various metal cogs and watch parts were used to decorate........................a really simple hanger to make and could be made in pretty colours too............
 

Well just getting over an infection to my larynx (the OH thought he was in seventh heaven)!! - there seems to be so many bugs going around at the moment, but then with the change in the weather I suppose it is not too surprising.........................I get in my car in the morning and have to crank the heater up to full pelt and then when I get in her to come home I have to put the air-con on!!!!  Anyway think the anti-biotics have just about cured it and my head feels relatively normal again and I can speak again......................YAY!!
 
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you are up too and to those under the weather I hope you feel better soon...........
