work in progress

The weekend was quite busy - I'm beginning to feel the pressure of leaving on Saturday for a two-week trip to Poland. Cleaning, laundry, organizing... not sure that I'm a big fan of this stage of traveling...

Anyway, I managed to find some time for the craft table. Some time was spent on cleaning, and also for preparing a few birds based on cardboard cutouts. Painted them with gesso first, then red paint, then glitter paint, one-step crackle and finally golden accents. Whew! Plus drying time after each of the steps, so it takes a while.

Then the menagerie continues with some dog characters...

...and, finally, there are Christmas trees cut out of a giant tree in an old greeting card.

So many ideas, so little time!
