Hey everyone. I am still feeling a bit under the weather, but much better than I did on Tuesday. I am slowly getting my appetite back but my fever still spikes in the evening... I haven't really felt like sitting down and creating anything, so decided to drag out this little project I put together several weeks ago. I wasn't really sure if I should share it or not, because it was tons of work, but I decided why not. It sure beats days of not sharing anything.
Does this look familiar? Well, you may remember my water lilly tutorial a few months ago. I added some more layers and ended up with a pine cone. It is basically the same process, except lots and lots of extra layers. It is a little flimsy, so maybe later I will try to come up with a way to stabilize it better. Adding a skewer to the center may help.
Here is what the original project looked like:
Just a few more notes about the craft fair...When I say we had a small booth, I really mean that we had a small table and one chair. It was only 2'x 6'. That was it...I mean really, there wasn't any space to display anything and we had to practically hold our breath so that people could squeeze past us in the hallway. Can you believe we paid $150 for that? At least the booth fee went to a good cause, (the After Breast Cancer program). The fair wasn't even open to the public. Only people who came to work out were there and they were in such a hurry to get in and get out that most of them wouldn't even make eye contact with you, much less look at what you had for sale. Also, have you noticed that there are fewer and fewer people at these things who actually "craft" their items? I promise you that there were only two vendors who made their "crafts". (Us and one of the jewelery vendors.) Everyone else was either selling make up, jewelery, clothing, soup/dip mixes, and the like that they purchased elsewhere and were re-selling them. What ever happend to a good old "craft fair"? Maybe I am just not looking in the right places.
