I was thrilled to receive a healthy supply of Gluedots a few weeks ago, and even better still - a fabulous pink Gluedot dispenser! Gluedots are the perfect adhesive for an altered project like mine, and as they come in different sizes (small, med, large, xlarge etc) there was no need to cut up the dots to suit.
So, I'd like to share my altered cross with you. I started with a plain MDF cross which I painted with gesso then black acrylic paint. I then covered the front with paper from the Nirvana Collection by Marion Smith Designs and lightly sanded back the edges.
Choosing which Junque Gems and resins to use was the hardest part really! Since they are all so gorgeous I ended up making a random selection and just going with the flow! Little strands of dyed and distressed muslin are tucked in here and there to soften the effect.
And a few inspirational sayings added the final touches.
Here are a couple of close ups, so you can see the details...
Cheers
