Embellishing - making it even more attractive!

In our shopping yesterday, I found this adorable burlap covered deer.  Notice the burlap has been printed with sheet music.  And you can't really see, but it is glittery!!!  Found this at the florist shop here in town, so it's brand new.  I simply couldn't resist!

Colleen got these at Hobby Lobby and I "borrowed" them from her.  LOL!

Found this little ornament at the florist:

and of course, they had this gorgeous glittery bow that I had to have!!!

So I embellished the deer!  Now don't bother asking what goes on in my mind when I see things, but I knew that original deer was great, but just too plain for me!

I took apart the spray I "borrowed" from Colleen and hot glued each individual piece allowing them to drape from the antlers in the exact position I wanted.  I put that gorgeous bow on the back and removed the greenery from the front.  (Yes, there are those who say I'm quite dangerous with a hot glue gun!!!  LOL!!!)

I added a bit of greenery from yesterday's project around the neck, added the ornament to the front, and added more glitter balls from the spray to the ornament to give it dimension.

She's going to be a perfect addition to my winter decor on the dining room table!

I may take her back to the florist just to show them what I did with items I purchased from them.  My advice, don't go to this shop!  I guarantee you will want everything in site!  It's a Touch of Love Florist on S 9th st here in town.  Their website doesn't do them justice as I happen to think they are one of our truly hidden secrets!!!  The store is so much more than what the website presents!

Hoping that you will start looking at things as how they might become with just a little bit of imagination and embellishment!!!

Hey Gordon!!! Ya gotta come to Colorado to do metal clay!!! Gordon lives in Hawaii - he seems to always find unusual things - wonder if he see's this out his back window?

That was one of 2 twin babies that wandered right up outside the window during our Art Clay Society meeting last Saturday. And here's the other twin.

The mamma was on the other side of the fence and the babies were crying out for her.

And look at pappa. Wow! Less than 30 feet away from the window!

While we were inside and they were outside, I think she heard our every move!

Never fear, she gathered her babies up and walked them around the fence before she took off . That's an orchard laden with ripe apples and I'm sure they were having a harvest feast all day long!

If you come to play in Colorado.....you just never know what you're going to find!
