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!

GELLI PRINT DECOUPAGE

 

Do you recognize this design? On my previous post, I showed you some printing I had done on some of my gelli prints, using leaves and my gelli plate. It made a great liner for this catch-all box I made for my youngest son. 

 

The top and sides of the box received gelli print paper too. Two sizes of squares, laid out and layered, glued down nicely onto the black painted cigar box. Some sanding to distress the edges, and clear sealer once everything was glued and dried. A few accents with gold craft paint finished off the box.

My awesome son said- "Thanks Mom- that's just what I needed!"  

I use printer paper, book pages, old phone book pages- you get the idea- for my gelli prints, so the pages are thin enough to decoupage beautifully.

Thanks for looking, and please stop by tomorrow for a new share!
