Silhouette blocks....

Hi Everyone!  Happy Tuesday!  Today is my day off so I'm busy trying to get projects finished including a set of signs for a client.  I'm hoping to get them finished or mostly finished today.  But I want to show you the blocks I made last night.  I had to wait until this morning to have a photo session with them in natural light and they still had to dry.  So this is what I came up...

I started off with some scrap pieces of wood that I cut into blocks roughly the same size.  I sanded and painted them black. 

Then I painted three blocks red, three blocks mustard yellow, three blocks antique white and three blocks a gray-green.

I painted a silhouette in black on each block.  Once it dried, I applied an antique medium. 

This set contains a bee, butterfly and dragonfly.

This set has leaves.

 This set has flowers.

And this set birds.

There they are all together.....

....all mixed up....

....a smaller set....

...different colors....

...there are so many options....

It's simple yet brings in some color without being overwhelming.  Now to attach the hangers and get them put on the wall.  Thanks for stopping by.
