Green Patina Photo Holder
Creating from leftover parts is probably my
favorite thing to do.
favorite thing to do.
I really feel the creative process when I have a handful of
parts and try to create something new...
This photo holder started life as some pieces from an old lamp.
That old lamp was a project in itself!
From this one lamp I created about 5 different projects! (check out the links below)
Today I used the last few pieces and created an unusual photo holder with a beautiful green patina.
I bolted the 2 pieces together then gave it a little Gorilla Glue for support.
When the glue dried I gave it a coat of Martha Stewart Sea Glass paint.
Then used Annie Sloan dark wax to give it a great copper green patina.
MS Sea Glass with dark wax is awesome!
Looks just like the Statue of Liberty aged copper.
Next I cut a piece of cardboard and a photo the size of the circle.
The picture is wedged into the circle and can be changed out at any time.
I love finding new and unusual ways to display my photos, especially the vintage black and whites.
(This one is me)
In case you'd like to see the rest of the lamp projects
you can see them below...
I sure got my money's worth out of that free lamp!
