Paper Firework Blossoms

 

Want a decoration that puts your house in a patriotic glow but not set your house on fire in the process?  Give these easy paper firework blossom a try for your house or yard this 4th of July.

I'm not going to tell you I am coming back on Wednesday because I might miss you, so how about this?

I'll see you later.

Avacado Bacon Burger Key cover

 

Avocado, Bacon, Cheeseburger done in Polymer clay on a key.  I think it came out ok... Should have made the meat a little bigger maybe so I didn't have to add so much lettuce?  Maybe?  Their is definitely a need to work on some texturizing techniques.  But, since hamburgers aren't exactly a new idea I thought I'd show you how I did it.

The key to having a key cover that doesn't fall off or break into pieces would be these, get good clay (Premo is my preferred clay), and wrap directly around the key and cook at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or more.  (make sure to preheat your oven)

Those are about all the tips I have for you.

Hope to see you all Sunday.

My Neighbor Totoro in Clay

Well, I am still on my clay binge and although I have done a lot of other things around the house I have only taken pictures of the charms I've made.  Maybe next week I will have some proper pictures of the curtains I have hung and maybe some tips on how to do it yourself.  Hope you like this small picture.

Hopefully I see you around on Wednesday.
