I was inspired by the historic images of Atlantic City and the Boardwalk.
The finishing touches were the shell, sand and raffia.

Americana
Welcome to the Artistic Outpost Design Team Monthly Hop! The Design Team has whipped up some fantastic projects celebrating Americana.
I was inspired by the historic images of Atlantic City and the Boardwalk.
I started from a wood piece found at the rehab store. I think it is a wood leg from a table. I thought it would be fun to re-purpose the wooden leg. It reminded me of something you would see down at the beach.
Each side reflects a few of the different images from boardwalk. I used the colors of red, blue and gold tones as they fit the Americana theme..
The finishing touches were the shell, sand and raffia.

A piece of wood? I am going to have to raid my

I really love this! I have that stamp set because I grew up 30 miles from Atlantic City and was so thrilled to see a vintage set of AC stamps! This is such a cool project. What a great way to use the stamps!
ReplyDeletePure re-purpose genius GF! These belong in every gift shop down here...how many can you make by tomorrow! Love this Sue, what a beautiful piece of art.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a table leg and what a clever recycle project! The banner adds a great "Americana" touch with the Boardwalk! Love it!
ReplyDeletelol - love your reversed table leg Sue, I would never have guessed. you've covered it just beautifully and the finishing touch is the little shell on the top.
