The perfect teacher/coworker gift – Deco Days

This is a quick easy project that you can make to say thank you to teachers, coworkers, friends or family.

Supplies used:

book pages, rags, scissors, 6×6 mdf board, I have those available in my SHOP as well as collage elements for your background.

The crackle only took about 30 minutes to dry but that could vary…. I live in the desert so it might take longer for cooler or more humid areas. The antiquing cream needs to be sealed with a varnish or spray otherwise it stays active.

Have fun creating.

You are loved!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
