Very nice work!
Those gourds are fantastic! If I gave one to a friend they would not believe I did it *LOL
They would be amazed*lol Rightly so*lol
The calender Idea is what I have had on my mind........for years!
I ache to make a really nice one.I use to do a page or so for fun but to really make one I have to find it cost efficient.
I wanted to make them with/in all sorts of categories and sell them at a Craft Market.
My Daughter wanted to also she use to just want to do it with her photography, now,well it is her drawings and water colors Japanese style children and animals. She works so well.
$10.00 is still too much for me to spend on per calender but would be nice.
Would keep me busy for a while.
One craft we did was, print out a few pics in black and white then my daughter water painted them, we then glued them on construction paper with a drop of stick glue and laminated them, punched holes in them (on top) and added ribbon,we sent over a pound of these to my Mom,she can use them as a coaster (laminated 2x just to be safe) hang them on a doorknob or just hang them up all over,they are 2 sided so when she gets tired of seeing me and butterflies or plants,
she can flip it over and see James Cagney or Dean Martin*LOL
It is very easy,so I'm good with that*lol
Here is a butterfly,I couldn't get good pics the reflections where not participating *lol
You can do it like scrap booking ,and you can add a little bit of feathers or beads or whatever the laminator will still laminate over those objects.
This would be excellent for children! Their hand prints, favorite drawing or a great report card or awards etc. I bought the laminator for about 30.00 at Aldis.the paper cost just a tad under a dollar per sheet.No less then that, $29.oo for 50 sheets!
