Altered Anchor

Hello crafty friends. I took a wooden anchor, and started to alter it by adding layers of multi-media products and paper, Then one all dry I started to add the embellishments.

The wooded anchor has a layer of gesso, and scraps of paper from Anchors Aweigh was randomly paced on the frame with a thin layer of Mod Podge, Once the aper was dries the paper was trimmed around the anchor then lightly sanded.I painted a layer of white wash over selected areas of the anchor.Then I mixed up wall compound and stencil paste together to place in the to several stencils strategically placed

Hand made flower using basic rose from heart felt creations. 

Petaloo flowers added to the center bottom of the anchor and a flourish stencil was added to the right side. I have 3 charms hanging down the center of the anchor.
