Smudgy Antics challenge "Alter Something"

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics is about altering stuff, for the rulles check here.

I love altering stuff and I did another spoon for this challenge, first gonna show you some pics and thn tell you how I did it ;-)

First I made the skully, it is a digi from Smeared Ink, I printed it out 6 times, cut them out and used distress ink to age it. then I layerd the skulls using sillicone glue. On the top skull (I used the upper half only) I added Glossy crackle (love how that came out.
The spoon was bought at the thrift store, I paid 0,10 euro for it ;-). I picked out a vintage looking spoon, when I came home I cleaned it and put alcohol inks on it to age it. When the alcohol inks dried,I covered the whole spoon with glossy accents to protecd the alcohol ink. Put it aside to let it dry. Meanwhile I made a bow from black satin ribbon and attached some pearl beads to it. When the spoon dried completely I put the bow to the top of the handle and added a string of black pearl thread and a black silk rose. Glued another silk rose at the borrom of the handle and glued the skull in the spoon. That's it not to hard huh?

Can't wait to see what you will alter to join this weeks Smudgy Antics challenge.....
