Daydreaming!


Hello MRC! hope your weekend is fabulous! Today I'm gonna show you just a really simple altered photo frame.



I started with a 5X7 frame, I took out the glass first.


next I slathered in with white gesso about 2 coats!


using acrylic paint,I did a gradient on the frame from a medium blue to a teal color. and the inside from teal down to yellow.


Next I dry brushed the whole thing with white gesso.


here I just took some posca paint markers and doodles some flowers and dots.


Martina has these fabulous papers from A.B studio in her shop and i just cant get enough of them! I fussy cut them and just glued them right on! SOOO easy peasy!


xoxo Nicole!

Meet the Queen that wears the Rusty Crown

Hi Everyone,
Today we are introducing you to the woman behind the curtain.  The lovely Martina answered some questions that the design team had for her.

Q:  How did you decide to open an online store?

A:  I have always wanted a brick and mortar store and for some reason it just never came to be.  My sister and our friend opened one(a brick and mortar) in Washington and had it for 10 years.  I just knew that I would have some kind of a craft store one day.  After they closed down I thought now is the time to do this if I'm going to do it.  So, My Rusty Crown came to be. 

Q:  How long have you been in business?

A:  The store has been open for 18 months now. 

Q:  How did you pick the name for you store?

A:  I love rusty things and I love crowns.  There you go!

Q:  How long have you been crafting?

A:  I started when I was 21 and have been going now for about 37 years.  Anything and everything that caught my eye.

Q:  What's your favorite kind of project?

A:  Paper crafting has got to be(so far) my favorite thing to work on and with.  Stencils are my first love.  Anything that brings texture I'm there.

Q:  What type of crafting or craft product would you like to learn more about?

A:  I would really like to learn more about Gelli plates and making backgrounds with them.


We also asked Martina to share three pieces of art she has created.






 We hope you enjoyed meeting the awesome Martina.  Next week you will get to meet the members of the design team.
