Don't be board .....

Found a superb chopping board in a charity shop and snapped it up for collaging ....


It already had red sides, so I covered each side in pages of prayer book, and overlapped the edges, sanding them once dry. I covered both sides and then scumbled white paint over the top. 


Now for some fun, cutting lettering from pretty paper using a sketch as a guide. All the letters were drawn on the back of the paper in reverse. 


After gluing them to the heart, I rubbed in some pastel colours and fixed them before varnishing the piece ...


Here is the other side of this truly double sided art!
