Oct 8th: Ornaments!



It's that time again blog.   Time to make ornaments!   I missed them.  I actually have some orders, but today I chose to work on ones that I'll be giving to my grandma as gifts this Christmas.  
I'm winging these so there's no telling how they'll turn out.  I love the frosted blue ornaments.  They're so pretty ... but you can't make a mistake.   On a normal bulb, if you make a mistake,  you can scratch it off.  On the frosted ones, if you try to scratch off a mistake,  you'll take the frost right off.  Unless your ornament is high quality.   Which these aren't.   They're from Hobby Lobby.  I acquired new metallic paint and intend to go nuts with it.   I want swirls and snowflakes and stuff everywhere.   And that is what I shall do.  Somewhere in there I'll add her name.
What about the oil painting you ask?  I've put it on the shelf for now. It's going to have a lot of meaning to me and I want to get it right.  I haven't quite figured out how to get my base drawing done with nothing to reference.   So I'm brainstorming.  In the meantime,  I may as well paint some bulbs!
