The table as a dumping place

Hey, I recognize that stance...time to clean off the table!  I bet you have at a place that looks like this...everyone comes in and drops off homework, keys, messages, mail, etc. and it just keeps piling up.  Ah, but does your table top show signs of being a lover of Wendy Vecchi's style? Mine does...check it out!


She (who must be obeyed! lol) was cut from Black Clearly For Art and heated to slightly bend over the table.  This super neat product is one of Wendy's greatest ideas.  The table is one of the Art Parts spool sets.  I did have to cut the 'leg' down to make it more to scale.  Wendy's lace border was stamped in Plum archival ink and stamped onto muslin.  The table leg and base were covered with Tea Dye distress stain.

I've been using shrink plastic a lot lately and this project is no exception.  I've used clear, transparent, white and black sheets from Lucky Squirrel.  You'll see that I have kids' toys underneath the table and plenty of items strewn across the top...paintbrush, 2 bottles, opera ticket, wooden nickel, shopping list, pencil, scissors (what a pain those were!), a flower out of a corsage, and a wrist watch.  Once the items were placed and braced, good old Glossy Accents was used to secure everything.


BTW, this piece is being entered in the challenge on the Simon Says Stamp & Show blog...show your Wendy Vecchi style.
