I just bought a jar of armour etch and the cream a little chunky an has little crystals in it. I tried using it, but where the crystals in the cream touched the glass it did not etch very well, leaving little spots.

Is that normal? Should I return it?

I finally got around to trying out your tutorial, and here is what I made today:







Thanks for the inspiration stargirl!

I received an awesome package from Amanda, aka aeillill, yesterday, it included a stencilled shirt, handmade cards, and a beautiful embroidered pillow case.
Thank you so much!



detail of wonderfull embroidery:

aeillill- I am glad you liked your package! I seriuosly doubt that I would be disapointed by yours!


jaami- I made the magnets my glueing the cut out pictures to the bottom of the inside of the cap, then after it dried, I added a little bit of resin to the top, just to coat the top of the picture (I was afraid that If I filled the entire cap it would be too heavy). Then glued a magnet to the back. It is super easy and really addicting for some reason, I keep finding really cute pictures to cut out!

Here are pics of what I sent to aeillill, she recieved her package yesterday. I had a lot of fun using my skills to make birdie goodies!



included was a pillow, bag, owl hair pin, bird heart pin, owl finger puppet, bird feeder, bottle cap magnets (my new obsession), and coasters. (sorry the pics are not so great, it is really hard to find good light sometimes!)

Most birds will not eat plants (unless it is ducks, geese, or turkeys you are having issues with). They mostly eat seeds, fruit, and insects. They are actually beneficial to have in your garden, since they will  eat insect pests.

rosella,
I love the way your stencil came out on the first shirt, would you care to share it?

How does it hold up in the wash?

hey melbakat, what type of dog do you have, she looks exactly like my dog black head and little spots. the lady i got him from said she doesnt know what kinda dog he is but the mom was a coon hound. everyone says he looks like a dalmation or lab. it is funny because i have another little dog that is a beagle mix he has a big spot on his butt and that half black half white tail.

Hey casslyra, my dog is a lab pointer mix. She has a lab head and a small pointer body (she is a little girl, only ~40 lbs). Everyone always stops us on our walks to find out what kind of breed she is. She has the awesome temperment of a lab. Mutts are great!

I recieved an awesome package from fl_mariposa. It included books, food and treats with a cute treat bag, toys and a winter scarf. Thanks again!!!

Here are my gals enjoying their new toys:





This is what I sent to fl_mariposa  :
