End of Summer | Creative Therapy DIY Project

[@BusyMom57-db9lr]

The black over the green made the piece much more defined. Just what it needed

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much for being here! 🥰

[@kristenreed5195]

Sweet friend, I love this video so much!!! Proud of you for taking time to create for yourself!!! You are so amazing & encouraging and I love you so much!!! Now, let’s chat about your project - oh my goodness, friend - THIS IS STUNNING, GORGEOUS & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You're the best! I appreciate your encouragement as always! You’re pretty amazing too!!!

[@Patricia-bp6cr]

You took this from beautiful to STUNNING. The IOD sisters will be so proud of you for teaching us the advanced technique. I remember well when my son turned 10 years old. Now, on Monday, he will be 50 and it is tearing me up Heather. Thanks for sharing with us sweet lady.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh goodness…they are growing up so fast! 🥰. I hope it’s good tears!!!

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Love your willingness to take a chance on something like secondary stamping. The black ink added a whole new dimension to the birdcage. Beautiful piece, Heather! I really enjoy your work and all you share with us. And of course, love Henry.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you Ruth! Thankful you are here! 🥰

[@carolsimpson1844]

Re-inking the birdcage with black made it perfect. That was a great decision. It is so beautiful now.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@juliehong1366]

I think the black and green worked so well together. Amazingly creative. The layering is perfect and your truly talented. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Awe, thank you for being here! 🥰

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

💚 Oh my….stars. This is absolutely gorgeous. I love how the frame turned out and that little bit of black ink made a major impact. I haven’t been crafting for a while. I’ve been in a lot of pain. The other day, made myself sit at my craft table to create something…hoping to distract myself and escaping the pain. It actually worked. I turned a vintage piano roll into a piece of wall decor. So, in a way I challenged myself and I really needed it and I did enjoy myself.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I am so sorry you have been in so much pain! Virtual hugs! However I am so exited that creating let you take a break from the pain and work on healing! 🥰

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Love it, Heather. Children growing up and then growing older is hard! It’s a process you get through with a lot of prayer and thankfulness. My YOUNGEST will be 60 next month. Thankful old lady here. So, your viewing audience covers a lot of ages, girl. This was a lovely arched project and I enjoyed seeing you design it. You are so inspiring! Thanks.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Well thank you so much for your perspective! I know when I am in the middle of it I can “wish” the years away or want them to be more mature…but that just means they leave and I’m so not ready for that yet! 🫣

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Girl...I didn't know you were a Harry Potter nerd like me....Love it! Yes, I had to wait for all the books and movies. We have went twice to Universal for Harry Potter, it was amazing, the train ride, the disappearing brick wall..the Gringotts bank ride...oh and so much more! Okay I will stop nerding out! Def an experience!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

It was so fun to feel like you were there! I don’t remember as many of the details as Piper does but it was nice to share it together for sure!

[@ginacrusco234]

Heather! The color scheme is the first thing that captivates me, then the romantic motifs of faded beauty. So gorgeous!

Good move to redo the cage. I like how the black still doesn’t overpower the green. Great layering on the frame too.😊

So lovely and classic. The black over green ink on the birdcage is perfect.

I am so happy for you and your family that you got away and had family time. I know what you mean about getting stressed out but since I have been dealing with my husband auntie that lives with us it's been a challenge because she has dementia and Alzheimer's and is 92 so three years ago I started crafting so I can be alone and go into my happy place that's what I call my craft room and when I get done with my diy's man I'm so happy and relaxed after that even my husband said the other day to me go to your happy place and relax 😂😂 so I wanted to tell you you did a beautiful job on your piece of art I just love it.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh I just love that he calls it “your happy place!” Sounds like he knows what you need to deal with-stress and so do you! 🥰

I stink at the thought process for layering anymore. Thank you for sharing this. Just what I needed. I’d love to see more with different colors. I’m currently stuck with a base coat of Greek Blue which is to me a periwinkle color. But I’m going use this and give it a try. 🥰
