christmas ornaments

hi there! wowzers- it's been awhile since i've posted! i've been working kind of a lot, and to be honest, i haven't been terribly creative in quite some time. HOWEVER- the zach and i have been making christmas ornaments!! and no, it is not too early!! :)


detail shots-
and zach made this!and i made this!


and this!


these ornaments are all made with a canvas front that has been painted in acrylic by either zach or me. the back is from a variety of scrap fabric. they are all stuffed, so they are soft little friends!


zach also found a recipe for a dough that you can sculpt, bake, and then paint! it went something like:

ingredients-
4 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
1 and 1/2 cup of warm water

mix salt and flour well, then add water
kneed well
bake at 225 degrees F for an hour

note: DO NOT EAT- they are technically edible, but are totally gross. trust me, zach tried them when he was a kid and i did two days ago. gross.


regardless, here are some pictures!



and a close up-

and zach made a yellow jinjo!


and the final close up-
so that's what we've been up to! look forward to more ornaments! :)

happy wednesday!

AND BTW- if you want me to make you an ornament, i totally will! :)
