If you missed the Portland Bazaar over the weekend, make sure you don’t next year. Just don’t expect to do your christmas shopping here. You’ll most likely be distracted by the cool treasures you want for yourself.
The venue that this was held at is called the Sandbox Studio which was a former forklift factory. I snapped some shots along the way and will post pictures tomorrow of my visit to one of my favorite vendors store that was at this bazaar.

No these are not muddlers!

Wright this down | Photo medium transfer

I found this wood scrap in a pile of remodel debris in the backyard of my house. Beveled edges and all; I have no idea where this came from but I won.

What you need:

Wood

Medium Gel

Photo printed on paper

Modge Podge or I use Envirotex

Transfer photo from paper to just about anything.

Here are the steps…

Spread medium gel on surface you want photo transferred on to.

Let dry 24 hours.

Once dry, wet a sponge and soak the paper.

Scrub the paper until it’s completely removed.

For the gloss coating over the top of subject I used Envirotex.
follow instructions on bottle for this product.

Or, use Mod Podge by spreading layers over the top and letting it dry.

You can find these brackets at any grocery store or craft store.
