Nature's Window

Hi! It's Candy Spiegel here with a new project using the fabulous Love My Tapes washi tapes.

This project was inspired by a friend of mine. Click the link on my name to see her original design.

I started with a barn-wood frame, removed the glass, and added my favorite washi tape ...

To get this ....

Then, I added hardware cloth to the back of the frame and began decorating. I printed out a 5x7 picture I took recently and matted it. I gathered a bird's nest, some flowers and a few butterflies. Everything was wired onto the hardware cloth.

Many of the items were leftover from a previous project or two. I painted the little plastic bird, since he was a deep purple. I filled the little bottle with chicken grit (ground-up granite) and wired it on.

Then, I glued the Scrabble letters to spell "Nature" along the bottom.

I love how it turned out ... what do you think?
