Isn't that faux patin...Linda, Linda, Linda.....<br />Isn't that faux patina a blast??? I loved it! I'm still trying to figure out the bark technique we talked about awhile back, but I'm figuring that I'll mistakenly stumble onto it someday..lol. Most things are discovered through "ooops!" <br />Had to get myself up off the floor when I saw what you reused here. A candy tray! Brilliant. Your butterflies are gorgeous and what a genius idea. :)<br />Thank you for the inspiration this morning. <br />Take care and have a great weekend!<br />Lisa :)Lisa Mincklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707109305523594370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74844141106596544.post-79182387167652785522012-04-27T05:58:40.948-04:002012-04-27T05:58:40.948-04:00Linda,
