Busy week this week. First of all, the stitch update.
I tried to do some resin coasters this week. I dutifully poured out the resin, waited for it to dry and it looked like....well this.
Disappointed didn't begin to cover it. I was thinking about ways to fix them when I flipped them over...and they were great! All I needed to do was add some other colours and presto! Admittedly, the first attempt at waves didn't work as the white sank through the resin, but they still look good.
I've also made the second book nook, this one narnia themed. I painted the trees with blue, then weathered wood overplayed with white to get that crackle. The inside was painted white, sprayed lightly with blue oxide and then coated with sparkle mod podge. The lampposts were painted white, snow texture paste was added, and a die cut red scarf added to one, to represent Mr tumnus. The sweets are the Turkish delight offered to Edmund by the white witch, which are tim holtz confections coated in distress glitter. On the outside, I used the weathered wood with a brisn overlay, to represent the wardrobe. The door is cardboard, cut into strips, covered with a woodgrain texture paste and with a lion door knocker and a row of books added, to represent aslan and the books that inspired this. The door is painted with brown, patina added and then glazed.
Until next time
Ems
