After searching rummage sales and auction sales, I was unable to find a chess set that I liked and would go with the theme of my craft room.
Last week when I made a visit to the Antique store I found the following items:
Old Wooden Thread Spools
A very interesting Hinged Wooden Box
After seeing these items my creative mind start thinking and this is what I came up with:
The box turned out to be a vintage sign making kit, included in the box were two old ink pads along with four brushes. This box being a perfect addition to my craft room. For the blending tools I glued the spools to wood pieces. But to add to the charm and whimsy, I took white thread and using each color of Distress Ink I colored the thread and wrapped it around the spool. I really am please how these blending tools turned out and they go very well with my Creating Scrapping Guy Craft Room theme.
Two other items that I found are vintage printing plates, which happen to be of the two lakes that are close to my family home. Mina Lake and Richmond Lake.
I of course needed to ink them up and stamp their images. These vintage pieces will make some great backgrounds.
