The Wise Men are on their way! A couple more tweaks and they’ll be ready for sealing and framing. I really thought I’d be lucky to finish them by the Epiphany (Jan. 6.)

I have been obsessing over them, lately, working on it while watching tv with the husband. My light box made that possible. I will write about that in a separate post.

I saved the star for last, going all freestyle (not following the pattern.) I used clear and gold-colored rhinestones leftover from different projects. I used two shades of metallic gold dots I found at Michael’s.

I am very pleased, and will start looking for a frame. The finished piece is 35×35 cm, not quite 12×12”.

Halfway!

Halfway!
Halfway!

I am halfway through with my Wise Men diamond dot project!

I put the plastic cover back down and rolled over it repeatedly with my brayer.

This will insure the dots are secure when I’m working on the other side. I have even considered glazing the finished half. But then, I’d have to wait for it to dry!
