We are still making Moos for Something completely different, the theme for this week is to put something metal on your Moo. I wasn't sure what I was going to use, but started looking through the DH's nuts & bolts and screws. The ones at the back door were too new looking, so I went out to the garage where the accumulated junk of about 100 years (I joke not!) are piled up on the work bench, I found this metal button and the little nut in one of the old drawers which were made by DH's grandfather who was a master joiner.
I'd been reading the Claudine Helmuth tutorial in Craft Stamper, so the background has acrylics and masking, I also stamped onto tissue paper (another tutorial in CS!) but it is difficult to see that. There seemed to be something missing - Words! I turned to my 'cheap as chips' dictionary, I was going to use 'Metal' but I liked the sound of metallurgy better.
I went back out the the garage (or cart shed, as was it's original purpose) to take the photograph.

ReplyDeleteThis is fab Janice! I love the look of your background as well as the wonderful old metal bits you found to go on there - how fab is that button?!

Are you familiar with Alistair Begg (Truth for Life), another Scotsman? He is an awesome pastor I love to listen to (not just to hear his great accent but also for what he has to say) He pastors a church in Cleveland, Ohio. Just curious if you have heard of him :)
Excellent Janice, what an unusual moo, love the word metallurgy - sounds a bit like a nasty illness!
