More Projects and Pepper Wins A Major Award!
Here's another one I've been dying to try. Glue flat glass blobs onto a bottle, stuff some lights inside and VOILA!
I liked this design I saw online too so I made one. Am kind of obsessed with the rainbow motif.
When I was younger, I thought the pink/white Christmas thing was ugly. Now I find it really nostalgic and for some reason I associate it with the 1920s, 30s and 40s, but I don't know for sure b/c all the holiday pictures I've ever seen from those eras are black & white. I saw a tutorial online on how to dye them. I found small white ones & used Rit magenta dye. But they were still missing something.
Snow! Right! So I first dabbed white paint on the tips, then painted the bases & branch tips with silver glitter pain
I tried a flocking technique with 2 of the trees, using silver glitter and then white/irridescent glitter, as well as the white-tipped-with-silver-glitter paint. Put to a vote amongst my friends, the white tipped on the right was preferred, with the center tree coming in second.
I entered Pepper in a little contest on the Will Tree Poultry Farm Facebook page. They make the best pot pies on the planet and I reeeeeally missed them when I lived out west. They asked people to post a photo of their mix breed with info about them. I posted a super cute pic of her, the one posted on the right side of the page in fact, and I got a message from Willow Tree almost right away saying that she was so cute that they wanted to send her a prize. I was quite tickled. The package arrived the following day.
Oh boy a new toy!
"Mama makes me poze wiff dis toy". She was so impressed. Not. lol Sagan, on the other hand, snatched it away seconds after I snapped this picture.
"Stop takin pitchers!"
Beautiful sunset that day too!
