Reclaimed Wood: Great Ideas

ByShannon Willey

Today I received an email from Jeanne Oliver Designs regarding her Creatively Made Summer Series and I could not pass-up the video series “For the Love a Reclaimed Wood”. Jeanne Oliver’s site and blog is full of inspiration and the Creatively Made Network provides lots of wonderful ideas.

I subscribed to this video series and it is well worth the $10. Melaine Thompson shows the ins and outs of creating some fantastic frames and pieces of art using salvaged or reclaimed materials, but you can also use the same techniques using new wood, too.

Be sure to check out Melaine Thompson’s fantastic blog and website. She has a great eye, and I love her use of reclaimed materials. Let me know what you think.

Be inspired,
