All the crafty!

Check this one out!

By now you all recognize the tiny bookshelves I’ve been using. I decided to make a longer one to display tiny things that weren’t books.

I love the color! It’s calypso blue and the brightness is fantastic!

This was a test one for me though because I painted the individual pieces before assembly. Not a good choice.

The paint made it thicker (obviously) and so it was difficult to get them to snap into place. I wanted a nice outdoorsy theme so added fairy stickers.

Not a problem, except that when I went to use varnish and mod podge in the hopes it would keep the stickers adhered better, it instead made them wet.

And crinkly looking in some cases as the larger fairy shows.

*le sigh*

I still love the finished product and have definitely learned several things from it!

I’m working on the last of my figure paintings and hoping it’ll get done in the next week or two.

We shall see!

Toodles!!
