Project #4 (and a half?)

I have a new end table and I wanted to get the drawer organized, but I didn't have anything on hand. I went to the Dollar Store and found a divided server that I thought would work. I bought 2 of them, brought them home, and popped them in the drawer. Well, huh. They were a little big, but I could still put stuff in them and get the drawer closed, so no biggie.

                                     My drawer minus organization.

               The trays are actually sitting on the top of the drawer sides.

I got tired of that pretty quickly, so when I was at Meijer this afternoon, I grabbed some bowls that were on clearance (for $1.74), with the intention of decoupaging them, so it didn't really matter that they were all Disney-Princess-ified.

I had a couple of books,which I bought at an estate sale, that were in my pile to go to Goodwill, which I decided to keep and use for decoupage. For this project, I used Eugenics and Sex Harmony; Banish Fear and Sex Ignorance Forever! by Dr. Herman H. Rubin, M.D. (author of Your Mysterious Glands and Glands and Health), published in 1942. If you're not familiar with the word, "eugenics" is basically selective breeding for humans. Some day, I'm going to use the dust cover for a project.

                                    Random pages from the book.

          I trimmed the blank edges from the pages, then tore the pages into
                                           horizontal strips.

                            I applied the strips in a spiral pattern.

               This is all the Podge that I peeled off my fingers afterward.

        Imagine that all of the bowls have been decoupaged and that the
                     used-up checkbook isn't there. Isn't it lovely?
