Re: "Every Wall Is A Door"
Jenny, as always, this is an amazing art piece! It sounds like this one you had the quote and was looking for the unique assemblage. Do you normally do it this way? Have the quote and then find the creation, or do you create the assemblage and then look for the perfect quote?

Very good use for the old cookie jar!! I use books all over for giving height, color, and definition. I collect all colors and thicknesses at GS, most of the time they give them away!

Re: Believe

Check out my post here for the process: http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/1764/website-issue-comments-on-my-posts

Re: Cereal Bowl Photo Frame
Welcome to the site!! Thanks for posting your creation!!
posted: 2:48 pm on October 21stI love displaying pictures differently.....the hot glue, did you put in the corners or something to make it "float" off the bowl? That is neat! I found some transfer paper (like the old models transfers, just not as thick) that I printed a picture on then transferred to an old saucer..but I like the hot glue effect too! Much easier!!
Keep junking,

Re: help, I need info, I'm new at this?
Welcome to the site!!
posted: 2:42 pm on October 21stI'm with Gretchen, I love my patina silver! Silver will naturally oxidize because of the elements in the air.......but I did find a very neat trick for cleaning silver on the internet -- put a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of your sink, add water, then 2 TBL of salt. I tried this on some silver spoons I had that were real bad and they came clean! It actually smells like the liquid silver cleaner I have.
I don't know if this is the type of help you were looking for, for these items, but there's a tip for other silver!

posted: 7:46 am on October 13thFor outside -- if a cedar house was used it would withstand the outside elements, and the screws are holding the washers in. I also checked out the Gorilla website -- some of their ideas for using gorilla glue outside was building a birdhouse and repairing a birdbath -- IT SHOULD WORK!! But the sandpaper probly wouldn't withstand!!
We would all be the envy of our neighbors with this outside!!

Wonderful job, Kathy! Old bottles are one of my favorite. I have found quite a few on my back hill (almost ravine).

Magnificant transformation!! I've been playing around with an old desk as an island in the kitchen with tile on the top, i keep putting some on and swapping out to see which ones i like best before i put it down for sure.....we have lots of different ones left over from different projects and friends. The wood trim is a great idea for the overhang without cutting -- i never thought of that!! Thanks!

posted: 12:46 pm on September 21stRe: Newcomers Please Read
Exactly!! The day I joined I looked through EVERYTHING!! Got the camera out and started shooting pictures of the things the JB and I have done. There are not 2 things the same on this site. I have taken someone's idea, put it in the head and have come up with something totally different, but it started with someone else's project! I have joined other sites, but JMS is the easiest going and non-biased....if someone doesn't like your project, they don't say it, they just don't post!! Everyone is just great!! Every one that hasn't posted: POST so we can use your idea!!! We will save this country one piece of junk at a time!

csudderth -- welding, my next endeavor.... i took welding in highschool (1 semester of shopclass was actually required) and loved it.... it's been recently i've been needing a welder, you can only do so much with wood!! I read you have a wire feed, what's the brand/model of welder that you have? I've been doing online searches, and there are just so many!! I don't want to do huge jobs, but I'm not sure what I am looking at!! Any hints you have on the type would be appreciated!
