LESSology Challenge #15: Creative Inspiration of Julie Tucker-Wolek, Lynnda Hosni and Yvonne Yam!

Ready to see more ideas for your very own bookends? Check out what Julie Tucker-Wolek, Lynnda Hosni and Yvonne Yam have up their sleeves...

 Hi everyone! I am super excited about this month's challenge! I love book ends and I had the "perfect" ones to alter! lol-- not really -- the guys on my book ends kinda creeped me out - so I am happy I had an excuse to alter them! lol! :)

Yes -- these are hand carved little guys on here -- and I am sure that someone made them with some amazing craftsmanship-- but to be honest -- they really did creep me out!! lol!! So off they came!! 

Once they were off -- I spray painted the base pieces off white -- then added Graphic 45 Kraft paper to the base -- and then added some Studio Calico mists on top of the paper and spray paint --- I also took these ordinary rocks and painted them bronze to go with my theme --  

And here is what I made with my book ends --

I fussy cut a ton of Graphic 45's paper!!

 

Can't wait to see what everyone creates!! ~~Julie

I can't wait to see how this challenge inspires YOU!

Hello there friends!  I recently added a new desk to my bedroom [I used to craft from a pull-out table] and have to make sure everything I use is aesthetically functional given space limitations.

So my bookend is also "home" for my remote controls. I adhered scrunched-up wrapping tissue to a wooden container, then heavily "distressed" with inks, embossing powers and mists for a weathered look.

Here's how it looks on my craft table, propping up my sketch journals....:)

Have these awesome ladies given you more ideas for LESSology Challenge #15: The Bookend Challenge? We would love to see your entries! :)
