Use it or Lose it.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I'm still working on using up some old stash and today it's a Clothes Peg/Pin:


I have had this peg for so long that I can't remember where I got it from but it is by Creative Imagination.


The moulds, paints and wax are by Finnabair, all available at Hobbilicious.


I've used two stencils on this design, one by Finnabair and one by Echo Park.


The Art stones (Hobballs) are by Hobbilicious.


Just to give you an idea of how big this peg actually is, it's a whopper!

I don't want to keep you too long so here is a quick explanation of how I made this.
I started by taking the spring out 


and then applied Grunge paste through a Finnabair Stencil, added the moulded pieces and art stones.


Applied the star stencil along the sides.

One more peak at the finished project.


I then covered the whole thing with Gesso before applying the paint and wax.

Hope you like it.
I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Angela x

The peg is fab. I have something similar a friend gave me to clip loose recipes together. Very efective but actually not too many processes to get there xxx

What a fab peg! I think the Craft Barn used to sell them but they were maybe a bit far for you to have travelled to! Well done on using it though.

Angela this is fabulous. I was wondering how you managed to get all of this onto a clothes peg until I saw how big it was! Fabulous texture and details, a real beauty. Take care and have a very happy week, Sue xx
