BLOCK ART: Winter Fun

Welcome Winter!
(and to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing a little snow soon, let me say a LITTLE louder)

But in the meantime, I created a few artsy fun gifts for family as well as ones to adorn my house (inspired by the lovely Junelle Jacobsen).  It seemed so empty after all the Christmas decorations came down.
STEPS:
Sanded and painted 2x4 blocks and also primed a 4"x4" thin wooden canvas (or what my sister referred to as a coaster :)



Did some paper piecing to create faces & hats.  Modpodged the elements on & dried.







Painted on various elements and used my finger to add "snow" to the blocks. Plus added a few more details with a black Sharpie or PITT pen. Added pieces from a silver doily onto the blocks.  And then coated the entire item with Modpodge. 



















Warm Hats, Warm Mittens, Warm Hearts!
