PICTURES OF THE DAY:
Believe me, I didn't really know that the fall colors had begun. But on a walk around our complex I realized that fall is here. And the leaves on some of the trees really were a brilliant red. I hope you enjoyed my walk as much as I did...
Unfortunately, I also saw this...
If your not familiar, this is a Gypsy Moth and they can wreck havoc on trees. They actually destroyed a good deal of the forest in the Catoctin Mountains in Maryland. I hope that that doesn't happen here.
On a cheerier note, I finished my inchies. Remember, I had applied burlap to card stock for the background. I really did not have a clue as to what to do next until I found this...
So I cut out faces from this tissue and applied them to the background...
I also thought about the face of a clock, so I added these...
I added a gold button and coated it several times with Mod Podge which gave a thick clear coat. I glued four layers of card stock together to give some thickness, cut to fit and applied it to the back. Finally, I used a permanent marker to edge the inchie...
And this is the final product...
I think they turned out quite nice. What do you think?
Well, I packed some more boxes. And, I did take pictures of what I packed. This is going to make it much easier rather than writing everything down.
Have a great fall weekend...look for the colors...enjoy yourself...
Thanks for visiting...
