Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!
Last summer I had the pleasure of traveling to New York City with my daughter and a dear friend. While there, I got to hook up with my super talented art buddy and one of the nicest people on the planet, Marjie Kemper.
She met up with us and we toured some of the city, stopping for lunch at the Boat House in Central Park. While there, Marjie's "very expensive" (being sarcastic) pair of sunglasses popped a lens. She trashed them but little did she know I fished them out of the trash because I had a sinister plan for them!
Well, I was FINALLY able to put the plan into action a few days ago. I completely transformed Marjie's poor old broken trashed sunglasses into a new, improved pair of rockin' steampunk shades!
Since Marjie is also a member of the DecoArt Media team, I thought it would be appropriate to share them on the DecoArt Media Blog and give a complete pictorial step by step tutorial. Now, you can use the simple techniques I share for these sunglasses to alter anything! Just a few simple steps and you're on your way!
So Marjie....this one's for you! Rock those glasses, girlfriend!
Check out the entire frames HERE.

Oh ... this is just hysterical ... and absolutely AMazing!!! I love the fact that Marjie won't lose her lens again now that it's chained to the frames. Love this project. So worth the dumpster diving adventure to retrieve those sunglasses :) Hugs -- Mary Elizabeth
