Art, Crafts, and DIY

I like the blueprint one too. Could you save money be just covering maybe three blank canvases with the wallpaper and hanging them abstractly on one wall?

Could get one roll and see if it will cover the part of the wall behind the bunk bed that goes in. But I'm sure it's half the length of a normal roll. Or I could make a frame and glue it to a large rectangle of it on the wall. I think the blueprint would go with the idea and the grey better. I'm sure it was cheaper at one point so I might keep an eye on it. Summer is packed and with kids around it's not something I'm starting in the next month

Status: I've lost my caramel mind. I'm going all in on the apples and (get this) mini pumpkins. Got some paint to try making the red candy apple coating as well. Have my work area all ready to go for the weekend. I'll post pics if/when I come up for air.

Watch. I'll get my hands on some resin and wish I used that in the first place.

Can't wait to see them Jersey Girl. candy apples remind me of Halloween.

We'll see! This is what happens, how I work when I trial something. When I think I've got it how I want it and think it's good enough to offer for sale, I binge make it. I call it a creative frenzy. I think it's a form of insanity.

not a bad thing. Hope it goes well.

There's a pumpkin in there. I already see that I'm going to do something different than how I did that one. The set up took longer than the actual making. Have to see how they dry down overnight. So far...I'm liking it!

Oh and there's one crackly looking red one. That was a well used (classroom--washed and sanitize a bazillion times) apple I used for a prototype. Everything else is brand new.

Jersey, how’s the boy with a table saw? I think you could sell the heck out of some decorative wooden risers. Maybe even make some wooden stands for those pottery like wares the other crafters sell.

When I saw the pumpkin, I thought, one of these things is not like the others. Creative!!!

Thanks! I'd LOVE to do woodworking if only there was room in our garage. Right now it's got a classic Corvette, a half of a car (I don't know what that is exactly), a Harley, let's not talk about the extensive tool "collection" and space to pull in the project car the Boy is working on. It's a VW Beetle now turned into a pick up. So it's a "Pick up Beetle".

I made 10 of those types of pumpkins. The one you see in the pic was the first experiment.

So I made 9 more after that. Right?
So the pumpkins are just styrofoam inside. Right?
So I had them drying on a tray. Right?

Guess who bumped the tray and sent them crashing into each other? Yep. The Boy.

I think I have 6 with smudges I'm trying to work out how to fix them. I keep looking at them and giving them the stink eye.

Do you know what those plain apples sell for on Etsy? 13$ plus shipping so...$20. For one apple! Not joking. I'm not going to price them that high of course.

Current Status: Working on chocolate apples and addicted.
