2 weeks of crafting,: new shell project and started my mache unicorn
Helllooooooooooo
It feels like it’s been forever!! How are you doing? I’m doing well and am glad I took the week off from making a post- I had a lot to catch up on.
Okay so a little of everything I’ve got to share with you!!
It’s been2 weeks of crafting
I made some pipe cleaner cats (pipe cleaners and sequin eyes courtesy of my friend megan <3) These are so fun to make- i’d love to spend some time learning how to make more things from pipe cleaners.
I also went to a seafood boil for the first time and brought home a bag of mussel shells, so I wanted to put them to some use. I cleaned them all and separated a few to use for a flower. To maintain the shine of the interior of the shell I added Vaseline and a layer of clear nail polish. I tested one with gloss mod podge, but it didn’t give the same amount of shine, so I opted for the nail polish. The first picture is how it looks currently, and the second is how I want the stem to look once I pick up some wire.
Lastly, I did some paper mache! And I made progress on the Chuck E Cheese project! ! at long last. The small sections that needed filling felt so tedious, but I think with paste and tissue, I can build it up nicely. After a few more layers, I’ll just have to sand and paint :,)
While I had my paste and paper mache out I also started the unicorn head! I actually got a lot done on the one side. I think I could even have the whole head done this week. No promises, but I would love to make it happen :D
I also got a chance to do some painting. I spent the most time working on “Semi-real”, and I like how it’s going. I think I’m going to make a few changes with the background colors, but I think I mostly like it. I’ll give it another week and call it done <3 Progress on other canvases felt a little less progressive. The untitled sunscreen painting started driving me so nuts, I just painted over her face entirely. With shading, I think I could even like her with a covered face. I’m still at a standstill with Niphetos -maybe I can figure that out this week.
i put together a few small jewelry projects too- I've wanted a necklace that matches my grommet belt, so i put one together :) the other pieces were WIPS that just needed some putting together.
