after posting that dreadful half-done garland
i needed to redeem that garland & show the finished product
glad i've gotten that all cleared up & out of the way
so we can move on...
when in actuality there really is only about a few
& they aren't even complete
but...anyway...i took some glass ornaments
printed off a little smaller than wallet size image
added vintage mica & crystal glitter to the inside
& voila
had wanted to add a little white button at the top
but haven't gotten there yet.
little tip-you might wanna glue the pic to the ornament thingy at the top or your pic might just roll all around
that part , my friends, does require some tweezers & patience
maybe a spiked coffee too
because i can tell if someone has been
shall we say
peeking around in the gifts
so yesterday i asked that certain little someone
if she'd been peeking around
maybe even opened a carefully precisely wrapped anthro box
to which she replied with a very guilty little face
"which gift mama?"
don't ya love it when they really think they've got ya fooled?
ADORE that artwork display! How did you attach the ones that aren't framed?
ReplyDeleteOh, and the photo ball is just precious. What did you glue the top of the pic to... the little metal wiry things that hold the silver top on?
ReplyDeleteGood grief... I can't leave you alone today :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat type of glue?
love the photo ornaments...and the artist gallery...and all the glitter.
ReplyDeletei'm pretending that the gift with the c tag is for me :)
