I don't know about you, but when I stood back and looked at my new art on the wall, I could hear the mantle crying out for something short to sit on it! But what??? I honestly don't have a lot of stuff but I went on the search anyway and came up with nothing. But wait... one definition of creativity is making something from nothing so this time I went on the search for nothing to make something from and I found these...
Yep... little wood boxes I bought at JoAnn's for a granddaughter project that never happened... but they were the right height... a good starting point! With a little paint layering, they morphed into entirely new creatures...
And made a perfect addition to the mantle...
Okay, my husband did warn me that since I set the candles directly on top of the wooden boxes... if I light those candles and walk away I could potentially burn down the house... not so good. Leave it to a husband for such wonderful wisdom! So... they need one more piece to finish them and I have the perfect idea. I'm not sure if my idea will work or not, but am sure it will have to wait for another Creative Day.
Lord bless you all and the creative work of your hearts and hands...
