Bunch of Crafts
I totally forgot to post about what I made for Craft Challenge May. I didn’t take a photo of all the “ingredients” but they consisted of styrofoam beads, small round mirrors, wreath and floral wire. I didn’t win and rightly so. I literally made my challenge item the night before. But I actually like what I made anyway. Every time the packet comes and I see what we get, I always say to myself “Oh, boy! What am I going to make with this?” So I am always so happy that I actually think of something! Here is what I made:
And here are some things I made for swaps! I joined a faux stained glass swap because I already had the fake leading and little containers of stained glass paint that I got from a kit someone bought me for my birthday ages ago. I was excited to play around with them again and it was so much fun to do! My partner loves coffee and voodoo dolls so I made her two. The photos suck and do not really show how cool it looks in the light. I ended up also using Alcohol Inks to make colors I didn’t have in the paint. FUN!
(the hearts are for me)
The butterfly and Eiffel Tower didn’t actually make it into a swap as I was just doing more playing around with the UV lamp and UV resin.
This Raccoon bookmark (resin) was part of the Woodland Lucky Parcel
Hand carved stamp swap
These last 2 were for the Handmade Specialty swap.
I made a middle ages-themed stained glass panel back in middle school for a project. It was multicolored and had a shield in the middle. (It got broken many years ago unfortunately.) I loved how it came out, and I remember it being a lot of fun to make the outlines with the leading and then fill in the sections with different colors. I would totally do it again if I had an excuse.
The voodoo doll one is hilarious!
