So, for my first official Crafty Raptor project, I think I am going to do something personal, something I've been wanting to do for a few months now.
You see, the mister served in the US Navy for long time and over his years of service, he achieved many medals and awards. I would like to display them on a board. I have just had them laying out on top of a low book shelf, but they are much to precious to just lay around. Not to mention the fact that our kitties, Chubbs and Sammy, have an affinity for hopping up there and knocking them about.
So, I am in brainstorm mode.
My initial thought is to take a picture frame I have and simply remove the glass. I'd like to find some nice papers to place on the backboard of the frame and then I'll have to come up with a way to attach the medals without destroying the integrity of the pin backs.
My biggest challenge is to do all of this in a way that I find visually appealing, but that will not be feminine or prissy for a former US Navy Petty Officer.
Now... off for my favorite part... selecting materials!!!
