i took a class today at NESC, and i am smitten. i’ve always been intrigued by pam huntington’s projects, and today i finally jumped in.
there’s all kinds of stuff happenin’ here that i’d never used or even seen in real life – mica flakes, ruffled crepe paper, these cotton batting balls (??)… ahhh, fun!!! and now i have a new list of supplies that i just have to hoard, umm, purchase, myself!
i used expanding paint – it fluffs up when you zap it with a heat gun. and covered it all with this beautiful glass dome. i had originally taken the class to make a gift for my grandma, but there’ s no way i’m parting with these little cuties!
p.s…. i took a kinda crazy turn driving home and it all took a tumble, yikes!!! everybody stayed right where i had stuck them, and now the inside of the glass has some little mica flakes static-clung to it, making a frosty look – i love it!! =D
Wow that is awesome! There are so many crafty things out there I’ve always wanted to try and haven’t- I’m glad someone is doing some investigating on how the other half crafts!
