Mixed Media: Altered Wooden Spatula

Hey there and welcome to another project share for Graphic 45!

Today, I'd like to share an altered wooden spoon I created using Graphic 45's Secret Garden papers (my all time favorite collection!) I used some mixed media techniques to alter the base of my spatula and did a ton of layering with flowers, metal and lace. I intend to gift this to my Mom for Christmas as a stocking stuffer... she loves gardening and she loves to cook. I thought this would be the perfect decor for her kitchen!

Here are more photos:

This project will also be featured on the Graphic 45 blog HERE.

I created a video to walk you thorough the details of this altered piece:

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share my latest creation with you!

Before I go, I want to wish my eldest son Jarrod a Happy Birthday! He turns 12 today and I am super proud of the young man he has become! I say in another year or two, he will be towering over me. LOL!
Happy birthday, son. I love you!

Happy crafting! xoxo ♥
