all that glitters

ok, i tried a new crafty project. i stole the idea from graceviolet.com her blog is over there on the side of mine, so you should go visit her. anyway...

these are the birds i used. i got them at michael's. they kinda look dead here...


so here's a close-up so it doesn't look too morbid!

i covered it with martha stewart glittering glue...which is kinda misleading because the glue doesn't glitter!
then i covered them with martha stewart glitter. i did these with the three colors in the woodlands collection. i thought they looked autumnish, they match my living room, and i thought it was funny that i was using them for woodland creatures!

now they are hanging above my head on my ceiling fan drying. i got glitter all over the floor, but what's the point of a craft room if it doesn't get glitter on the floor? i'll post more pictures when they are dry and in the living room. gotta go find something to eat!

I really like the birds. I wanna see what you end up doing with them. I'm really sorry about work. Let's just say I wouldn't trade my job for anything!
