Lots of Little Things

That’s what I accomplished, today:

I cleaned gel plates, some with hand sanitizer, some with baby oil, some by trying to pull what’s on the plate.

I sanded the back of my lavender dotted flower, and found some paint to match.

It’ll take a few coats.

I finished my, yes it’s pink, dotted flower, went through my haul, and realized I had bought another corner bookmark kit!

I also went to the grocery store, watched EddieMakesArt make some gorgeous gel prints and image transfers, EddieMakesArt

and took a nap.

This 100 day project will be over soon, and I’ll try not to post unless I have something truly post worthy. Eddie’s video is post worthy.

I’ve learned the time it takes to blog every day, could be creating time.

Doing the Dots

while watching Survivor:

I really like these little kits from Dollar Tree. This one is not actually orange.

It’s pink! I’m photographing under incandescent lights that cast a yellow glow. The bulb in my lamp is a “true color” bulb.

These little kits just take an evening or two. I meant to buy another corner bookmark. I think the one I made is really cute!

Better than Expected!

Look what I made, a Black-eyed Susan! I used Susan Thomas’s instructions and added another layer of petals (6, 7 was too many.) I wired them to themselves for a few rounds to keep them from nesting directly behind the front layer. Because there is an even number on the back row, I had to wrap all the way around a petal and weave in the opposite direction to secure the beads.

The beads are all Czech glass from JTV kits. The wire is 26g and all one piece , about 4 ft. I had just enough to leave a little tail to attach it to something.
