TEA BAG FOLDING, NOT FOR HOLDING!

This morning, sitting here watching the snow fall, when I should be getting ready to go to dinner with the kids for my daughter's Birthday, (phew)I started creating a Squidoo page and ran across this amazing craft. It's like Origami but it is called Tea Bag Folding I am looking to see if I can make an Angel using either of these crafts. I have been sitting here for what is now hours, after canceling dinner with the kids, (weather is really bad)trying to make this origami rose called Kawasaki Rose, and I still have not mastered it yet. The video is great but I think you have to look at it as though you were looking into a mirror, because most of my folds seem to be going the wrong way, but it's fun to do and I will master the art this year, but for now I think I'll take a break and settle for a little painting.
I am trying Donna Dewberry's new method. It's called High Def and the effect is wonderful, it's like painting in 3 dimension. I am trying to master a Lighthouse Landscape, which is one of my Christmas commitments. I made a commitment to my son to paint a lighthouse for him on canvas. I gave him a lighthouse ornament for Christmas and he reminds me that he sees it sitting there each day on the shelf waiting for the painting. Nothing like a putting a little pressure on myself. Well time to get the paints out. Here is the Kawasaki video for you to watch...let me know if you master it.

WOODCRAFTERS!

Image via WikipediaWoodcrafters, You are not going to miss the sale at Ac moore...ALL WOOD PRODUCTS ARE 25% OFF. this is when i stock up on wooden trays to make my favorite project.
I first prepare the wood, then paint it, put a sealer on and then I begin to hand paint my design. The beauty of putting a sealer on first is...if you make a mistake you can just do it over and the surface will remain the same. When using Donna Dewberry's One Stroke method of painting...there are no mistakes, she shows you how to just paint over it...I do that all the time. Once I have finished my hand painting I put another sealer coat on the entire tray and then I pour the most amazing product int he bottom of the tray to give it this indestructible high gloss effect. Enviro-Tex Lite. There is nothing better. They use this products to put the high gloss on bars when you go into restaurants. The product comes in 2 bottles and you mix equal parts and then pour it in about a 1/4 inch thick and voila...the best gloss coat you have ever seen, and then I move on the matching stemware.
