Looks Like PB

I made peanut butter looking goop...sludge...stuff. 

Glue and acrylic paint, for color, mixed together.

Add cornstarch, stir, add more, stir....until you get the thickness you want.

This is the 'fire pit' for the 'camp' I mentioned last post. It's a PB jar lid, I just realized.  There is a hole in the middle of it for the battery tea light, for the 'firelight'. {{So we can get to the tiny switch the lights have...but looking at this, I might not have needed the hole. Something to ponder further about.}}  I glued the rocks around the outside edge of the lid, with the E6000. 

I was thinking the goop mix would sag? slump? more than it has. But it started drying rather quickly.   I had fun playing with it!  

We shall see if it works, past this point, but it was at least 30 minutes between finishing and photographing. [Daughter wanted a picture of it]

My Women's March

 Women's March Jan. 21, 2017

 

I finished it!  A few days late. 

I really like how the knit fabric worked for couching the letters.  

This part also has 'forest land' added.

And I added a few of the facts...like how many marches there were that day and in how many cities. They don't match up.  I added them anyway.

I worked on the 'forest lands' from this angle, below.

It's not pressed yet, or signed. 

When I washed out the ink for the words, the backing bled, so now there is more pink than white, overall. 

[i am not good at thoroughly washing out dye on small things] 

My daughter finished her puzzle!

Did I mention I totally messed up mine while trying to glue it?

I got Ashley the glue you use over the TOP of the puzzle!!

[in other words...don't be like mom.]

Over the years, I have tried to do a dollhouse for myself. Never worked out. 

This time I am trying a 'camp site' instead. 

Basket crocheted by me. 

Popsicle stick table...not as easy to assemble as I always thought.

Popsicle stick trees in the back left. 

Glued to toothpicks and into a piece of bark.

Bare tree sticks assembled with help from Dan. 

He drilled the great big holes for them sticks.

The base is the tray from Costco that once held a bday cake. I kept the plastic cover too, in case I want a dust cover...although keeping

dust out of a camp site is an oxymoron.

No picture of it, yet, but I used another large plastic cake lid to 

put over my thread caddie.
