JAVA blocks

Hi everyone...

I made these wooden deco blocks for my best friend who lives in sunny Florida..

She loves coffe just like I do and has her kitchen set up with a coffee theme..

I really wanted to make something personal for her and this is what I came up with..

I actually took a hand saw and cut some pieces from a 2 x 4.. I cut them different sizes, then sand papered them and painted them.  When dry, I sand papered the edges and distressed them with Tim Holtz distress ink (black).. I cut the letters using the WINTER WOODLAND cartridge and then added some detail using the HOME DECOR and JOYS OF THE SEASON cartridges..

Here are a few close ups..

 

Very simple to make and so much fun too..
