Grungy Monday's Wearable Art Lesson!

Was I excited that Linda was actually extending this another week, so hear I am with GM#37.  I could not for the life of me decide what I wanted to do with "Tim" and wearable art.  I looked at shirts and the pocket watchy thing and then looked around some more to the point where I just thought, "forget it."  Then when you are ready to throw in the towel and before even beginning, Linda extends the challenge and if I did not see the most amazing piece of wearable art from Sarah of La-De-Dah and if you have not seen her altered shoe, go have a look - REALLY.  I then remembered an old leather purse that I had planned on doing something with along the line as it was one of my favorites, but too shabby to use any longer.  Well here goes and this was as my blog states, "A Work In Progress."

Used a couple of Distress Inks and applied inks with a makeup applicator and then randomly ran the ink pads over the purse.  After all this old bad (the purse) is distressed.  After that was done, I rubbed in some old fashioned Vaseline and then kind of buffed.  Right there I really liked the look, but thought I needed to do more.  Pulled out some Perfect Pearls and applied several colors working them into the leather and then buffed a little more.  The purse now has such a lovely iridescent look, but subtle!  Picked out a few of Tim's stamps and then added a little I Rock bling.  Well now the old bag can carry her old bag in style!
