My Altered Chest....

Good morning everyone!  I want to share a work-in-progress with you this morning.  I can't quite decide if I declare this finished or not.



 
 
I've been working on this for a few days and sometimes you just need to step back and give it a rest.  From here I could keep going and going and adding and adding but sometimes less is more.  I kind of like it just the way it is.  I'm going to sit this one to the side and let it rest for a couple of days and see how I feel about it after the weekend. 
 
Well that's it for me this morning.  Have a wonderful day no matter where you are or what you get into, take a moment and breathe!

Good Morning!! So early it's still dark here. Just posted my excitement. So glad to see your little box finished. It turned out great. Love the little metal edges and legs. But the papers sure make it look a little Vintage. Have a great day and a fun weekend. Can't believe it's here already

Love it, Glenda! I'm like you...sometimes you just have to "let it rest" and gather your creative thoughts on whether to continue with it or declare it finished. I love the simplicity of it...the papers and the metal edges make it very vintage..sometimes that is enough. Have a great week-end! I'm trying to get back into a creative mode.

Wowee Glenda, your chest looks awesome ( pardon the pun ) The colours are fabulous and those little feet just give it a finishing touch. I like it just the way it is. Enjoy your Week-end. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xx

Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous, Glenda! I love how you've altered this chest! It looks perfect just the way it is!

I LOVE it the way it is! Though you have a way of adding layers and making things look perfect that would just look like my craft room exploded if I attempted it. So if you want to add more, I say go for it! Truly, you amaze me with your talent sometimes!
Hope all is well with you. My baby is at kindergarten--this house has never been so quiet! But I'm hoping this will give me more time to blog and visit again. Back soon!
