BELIEVE IN YOURSELF WIRED FLOWER

 

I enjoyed making the wired flowers so much a couple weeks ago, I had to make another.

 

I chose to stamp the center circle with one of my new stamps from Quietfire Design. Then, I filled it up with Diamond Glaze, and I mean, I really filled it. Which may have been a mistake. It's 24 hours later, and it's still cloudy- dry to the touch, but not clear. I hope it will clear eventually- anyone know?

On my previous flowers, I brushed on the DG after it was glued to the wire, so the layer was quite thin, and it dried clear very quickly. 

If this piece doesn't clear in a few days, I'll just re-do the center piece.

So, other than the cloudy finish, I'm pleased.

I hope you have a wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by!

PAPER SCRAPS & FLOWERS

These flowers used paper scraps as well, but larger ones to be sure.

 

After forming the wire shapes, I laid them against the scrapbook paper, and applied Diamond Glaze all around the edge of the wire. Then added a bit more to smooth across the entire area within the wire shape.

 

Once the diamond glaze was dry, I trimmed around the wire shape.

  

My eldest son didn't want a housewarming gift for his move to a new city, but did say "a plant he couldn't kill" would be okay, thinking I couldn't find such a thing.  Silly wabbit!

He'll get it in a day or two, then I'll know what he thinks about it.

I need to make more, using gelli prints this time.

Have a super fine day & thanks for stopping by!
