I have been working on my Step-Son's Wedding Party. I got stuck making decorations since we are not having an actual reception work $10 thousand dollars. Just a small quaint party since he is in the Navy and on leave to get married.<br />
<br />
I decided to do the chalkboard theme which is all the rage for every occasion. I ran into difficulty with this and that.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are doing a chalkboard, I found a great tutorial online using a Graphite Stick (<a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelwmiller/heres-an-easy-way-to-make-chalkboard-writing-look-fancy-af?utm_term=.ly4VwDpxW#.hn7Oq14K8">HERE</a>) by shading the back of the design with the graphite then tracing your paper onto the chalkboard. Now I used the chalk method which wipes away and leaves a lot of dust on your board. Use the Graphite you will thank me later.<br />
<br />
I did print out a large scale design so I went on this free site, downloaded the image then chose the size. My chalkboard was a 24" wide board with a 21" canvas. You take an 8.5 x 11" piece of copy paper and lay it on the board to see how many sheets it takes to cover the board. Mine used 4 sheets, 2 across and 2 down. You can find it <a href="http://www.blockposters.com/create/">(HERE)</a>.<br />
<br />
I then tried to use a chalk marker. Even with the fine point it was not fine enough for those small areas and it also made heavy liquid marks on the board. I then used a chalk pencil. That is the way to go. It gives it an authentic look and you can sharpen it when needed. Do not use a plywood chalkboard. I have trouble with those. Use a real chalkboard.<br />
<br />
Here are my results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBfiLaa19hUgLOqkD61amwnSO5nCPvpExO58a6WePdLcB-mr9kX_cWrpMyZH463Af4I-7lfQklSQoYczIeJCWZnKGoydoXWEqIbOqjnX81tBZ94EMz3ySrf0QsMy_pZiR6UfpYGin3dc/s1600/chalkboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBfiLaa19hUgLOqkD61amwnSO5nCPvpExO58a6WePdLcB-mr9kX_cWrpMyZH463Af4I-7lfQklSQoYczIeJCWZnKGoydoXWEqIbOqjnX81tBZ94EMz3ySrf0QsMy_pZiR6UfpYGin3dc/s320/chalkboard.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I then made some jars to go with the sign. I tried painting chalkboard paint on them but the paint just peeled off so I bought a large stamp, a roll of chalkboard tape and started stamping. I made some min tags hanging on the jars with jute string. I had an antique jar that had a slot opening so I used that as well for the honeymoon fund.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I then made some flowers out of burlap and jars to stick with the theme. I even printed vintage background paper on cardstock and then cut them out into butterflies. The string is unused burlap strings from the fabric that I dyed the taupe color. After stringing the burlap strings around the butterflies I stiffened the string using a small paintbrush and Mod Podge Matte.<br />
<br />
I also got tired of the big chalkboard so I took a shortcut and printed a chalkboard image using photoshop of important dates.<br />
<br />
Next on my list of decorations is another printed chalkboard sign for photos of the bride and groom using a portable Picturemate. This will be out photobooth and to earn some money for the honeymoon fund & Tulle fabric wrapped balloons.<br />

Outside my bedroom window a lovely sight of Spring is a Male House Finch and its young.<br />
There are not many interesting wildlife here in the City of Philadelphia Pennsylvania normally squirrels and pigeons.<br />

These little ones sing a pretty song.<br />

I bought some great Chenille Trim from Victorian Motto on Ebay. She hand dyes all of her trims and embroidery floss. The price is cheaper then R&R Productions.<br />
<br />
There is a special in her shop if you buy 5, 5 yard Chenille Trims you get one free. (<a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Victorian-Motto-Sampler-Shoppe/CHENILLE-TRIM-/_i.html?_fsub=2365108014&_sid=182293904&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322">HERE</a>)<br />
She also has contests to win floss and other things on her blog and a Birthday Club to win floss each month.<br />
<br />
There is a great tutorial at the Twisted Stitcher blog to attach and fluff your Chenille to your cross stitch. (<a href="http://tts-learntofinish.blogspot.com/2011/07/pin-cushion.html">Chenille Trim Tutorial</a>). Little House Needleworks uses a lot of her ornament finishes.<br />

I love this beautiful stitching basket. I stitched it on 32 count cream Thieffry linen 2 over 2. A very stiff linen from France. For all you Americans out there this is the linen to buy for these type of construction projects and it is so much less costly then Zweigart.<br />
<br />
I loved how Mamilou Creations did hers with the handle so I did the same for easy carry.<br />
I used red dyed mother of pearl rings, red faded striped Japanese linen for the lining I bought from Etsy. Theiffry linen bought at <a href="http://www.lecomptoirdesfees.com/epages/159137.sf/secf980266d94/?ObjectPath=/Shops/159137/Categories/%22JE%20BRODE%22/Les_Toiles/%22TOILES%20LIN%22/THIEFFRY">Le Comptoir des Fees</a> for nearly $40.00 a meter.<br />
<br />
Instead of doing a scissor case per the directions, I made the beach cabins into a needlebook with a simple piece of cream felt inside. Now I am stitching "The Duchess" from the same designer.<br />

I found these beautiful tinted buttons still on the original card. They have a great shade of green, yellow & red. Love them so much!!!!<br />
<br />
I would really hate to remove them from the original card but I want to make earrings out of them so I am leaving a photo of the card. Stop by my Etsy Shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AntiqueButtonique?ref=hdr_shop_menu">(Buttonique)</a> soon to buy a pair of these buttons on earrings.<br />

Using my earlier tutorial taking raw brass pieces and
leaving sit overnight in a sealed container with Ammonia (<a href="http://madewithlovebyteresa.blogspot.com/2015/04/oxidizing-raw-brass-technique.html">(HERE)</a>) to start off
with. The piece should be very dark in color. Wash off your pieces with a little
soap and water to get any ammonia fumes off.
You can use just your fingers, then dry. This is what it looks like after this step.<o:p></o:p></div>

Using a paint brush and Vintaj Black Onyx Patina Paint,
brush on a little at a time because the this paint dries in seconds, then wipe
off with a strong paper towel by straightening your finger to wipe so you are
wiping off just the top raised parts of the piece. The black should be left in
the groves and crevices. <o:p></o:p></div>

Using a Dremel tool and the carbon steel wheel attachment, shine the raised surface only. This attachment only shines surface areas so this is key. Do not push down otherwise you will
remove the black paint that is the crevices It should be turning brown color. Do not over shine. If
you shine it to much the pieces will be too light in color.<o:p></o:p></div>

I do so many experiments and found such great ways to turning raw brass darker.<br />
<br />
Starting with a raw brass piece that is very shiny.<br />
<br />

Start with raw brass pieces, a nice size tupperware container that seals, a small cup or something to put liquid in ( I used an espresso cup because it is small & Ammonia.<br />
<br />
Pour the ammonia in the little cup and place it the container and your pieces of raw brass. Do not overlap the raw brass and make sure the ammonia does not spill on the pieces. Lock everything in the container and wait overnight or most of the day until it turns dark black and green.<br />

They will look dark like this. Shine the pieces with a dremel tool using the carbon steel wheel brush. The brush has silver bristles. </div>

After it is shined you will get a lovely brown tone and shiny surface.</div>

You can also buy your pieces already oxidized brass and oxidized silver. Oxidized Sterling Silver is a little more expensive then the brass because it is sterling silver and the depending on the silver prices.</div>
