.............................Ta-Daaaa...............

The mushrooms are finished!
I LOVE how they came out!
I used some Martha Stewart Glitter and some Twinklets Diamond Dust. I love how they sparkle and shine!

I put some moss, a little pinecone and a few rocks around the bottom of the stem of the mushroom. I think it helps "ground" it to the base.


I love all the different shapes and colors.....




I also love how they sit on top of the branches, instead of hanging down. This helps to fill in any holes! I made 11 altogether, some are duplicates. I am READY for Christmas! I'm going to watch the movie, "A Christmas Story", now. This is one of my favorite movies and I enjoy it every time I see it! I hope you have a wonderful afternoon!

..............................Still working on the Mushrooms........

So, here are some of the mushrooms.....they are taking longer than I thought they would.....
Martha used antique clips to put hers on. I'm using clothes pins.....

I glued this wooden disk onto the clothes pins.....


Glue is drying.....



Then I had to paint the backs of the disks and the rest of the clothes pins.....
Most of the time is spent waiting for glue and paint to dry, but I'm getting there.
Please be patient! I hope the next pictures are of the finished product. So much fun!
'Til next time, Love ya, Jean

.............................Mushroom Craft...........

I am crafting some mushrooms......
These will be Christmas tree ornaments, if they come out right..... I saw this craft on the Martha Stewart Show and I really liked them! I really wanted to try to make them.
So far, so good!
I'll show you more as they progress.
