It was a lot of fun crafting again. I also made a plaque. I used air drying clay to see how it worked out. I find that when it dries it is a bit brittle so choose carefully what you will incorporate it into. It also starts to dry quickly so you need to work quickly or in segments and glue them together later. I am going to make some little do-dads type things with it to put on cards and altered boxes. I will let you know how well it works out.
I didn't think this through because the side with the fairy ended up much heavier and the plaque would hang crooked. So what does a crafter do? Improvise! I raided my husbands tackle box and put a line weight under the clustering on the bottom right corner. LOL, it worked!
Lastly, I started painting t-shirts for the grand-babies birthdays later this month. They will be 2 and 3 and really like Sesame Street right now so I painted Cookie Monster and will start Elmo today.
I did not add any wording. Not sure if I want any on it or not. My husband said I should put "Me want cookie." I use crafting paint that reads permanent when dry. I also add some dimension with fabric dimension paint. After it is completely dry I toss it in the dryer on low for awhile to make sure everything sets. I used to paint t-shirts and sweatshirts for my kids when they were little and they loved them. It is nice having grandkids to paint again for.
Okay so here is Elmo.
