Steampunk Christmas Ornament Swap (Sign ups 10/1-10/15, Sendouts 12/6)

Have most of my supplies, and most of my ideas. I still want another shopping trip.
Finished a long work week, and longer days off (yard sale, clearing brush-darn rose shrub drove a thorn through my fingernail!) Wednesday should be play day!

[Averia]

darn rose shrub drove a thorn through my fingernail!

Oooh! That sounds painful! Take a play/rest day now.

It was, and I did. Found a couple of items at the dollar stores that may work very well for something nifty! I'll try a prototype wednesday.

Been slightly down because something always seems to take up my days off. Life got hectic suddenly. But today I covered a dollar store item with the first layer of paper and glue. It's amazing what a mood brightener having paint and glue on your hands is.  Hoping the prototype turns out well!
And I had a nice thrift store trip today. I found something nifty and unusual, if I can just brainstorm the best way to use it.
And I bought a block of polyclay, which I have hopes for. If the ideas in my head translate well...we'll see.

I started carving down a dollar store item this weekend to get it into a more acceptable shape.

I think I need some specialty paints for some of my plans...craft paint might not cut it.

I really need to get my butt in gear!

Also, since someone has received already we have a gallery, link is on the main page!

I keep thinking that what I have planned and started isn't right, so I keep planning alternatives.

mailed out two, the third is ready to go, and every day the fourth gets another big glob of glue - have to be very patient with THAT one...

[Alchamy513]

I plan on getting some done today, since I finished all my other swaps, but first I have to make sure I get all the pomegranate juice off my fingers... mmm, pomegranate...

Well, I'll admit I have been a huge slacker so far, work has been far too busy lately and my brain has to turn off when I'm finally home.
Tomorrow should be a free day to play and get my act together though, have no fear partners!
