Ship Helm

I found this awesome ship helm when I was out thrifting.  I just knew I had to do something with it.

Helm



It started out like this...



I did some sanding.



Added some twine / rope.



I decided I wanted to add something to the middle.  So, I grabbed an old CD and traced it onto some script scrapbook paper.



I inked the edges of the scrapbook paper.



I modge podged the paper onto the CD.



I did some painting and inking on the compass center piece.



I glued the different parts together.



And this is how it turned out!




What do you think?

Are you working on any fun projects!


Thanks so much for stopping by!
