You may know by now that I am just having horrible withdrawal symptoms not having my craft tools and supplies. I simply just cannot let a day go by without me working on something. Remember this thrift shop find that I shared with you several Blogs ago?
Well I got into working with clay.........and I showed you the mess I was making experimenting with that:
Here is the rest of that story LOL.
After the clay dried I would smooth the edges by sanding it.
Now it was quite an experiement working with that sanding tool but it was a must since the little clay ornaments were so small.
I sanded 34 ornaments and when I was done with that I dusted it off and then dusted all the dust that flew onto everything around me. Oh how I long for my patio in Guam tee hee hee.
So then I began
In the climate I'm in now the paint dried pretty quickly so then it was time to STENCIL
More Painting and DETAILING
Protecting the detailing with MOD PODGE
Once the protective coat dried it was time to
RIBBONIZE
WOO HOO GROUP PIC GROUP PIC
Okay time to nestle them into the thrift shop find shadow box:
(sighing) This was quite a project. The shadow box of Pugs sits in the laundry room of "Thrift Shop Finds."
Enjoy and PUG HUGS to all!!!
