Had a unexpected Saturday off before the start of my hols. Got Tom to take me Coleman's for cotton and paint, that's all I need for now. Shame when I came out with them to find he wasn't in the car! Oh well best not hang around in the wet might as well go back in and just look!! It was an expensive look as I spotted this bargain. Will do it to put in the shepherds hut.
Brought a dress pattern in March and some fabric. When I was reading the instructions it suggested using weights rather than pinning and buckling the fabric. When I searched for where to buy weights I came across a DIY idea using washer's and ribbon. I got to try them out today and finally cut out my fabric.
He's been waiting to be decorated for a few months and I am getting there. Covered the main body with some old patterned paper and then embossed with a clear powder going over with gilding wax. His belly is again covered with paper and then grunge paste using a stencil. Painted with vanilla from paperartsy. Painted the branch, eyes and feet. Just need to decorate branch. Running out of steam.
These frames once housed a silk sunflower each and where a bright yellow. Frames covered in tissue and then decoupage paper from the pound stall. Used more scrabble tiles and basically experimented with all kind of bits and bobs. Like both but for different reasons.
not sure what happened
