Wooden Initial

Several months ago, while on a shopping trip with my hubby's cousin, I purchased a wooden "S" from Michael's, with the intent to decorate it to display somewhere in the house.  I painted the letter a deep burgundy and modpodged some scrapbook paper to the surface....then I put the letter in a drawer and would hide it every time I opened that drawer.

I HATED the color.

I DESPISED the paper I chose.

I finally pulled it out a few days ago, determined to do something with it...even if it meant sanding off the paint and paper to start over.  Luckily...a coat of watered-down gesso can actually work miracles, and I was able to recreate the letter into something I love.
