Day 6-15

I have not posted lately...! Although I have been successful in my endeavors. My Halloween project went off without a hitch, yet I have not posted the pictures yet because the pictures are inside of my neighbor's camera and I have not gotten them out yet... hee hee! He told me that he would email them soon. Paul, if you are reading this EMAIL ME THE PICTURES...pretty please! I will tell you that Bob and I were a famous couple from the Flinstones... I am sure that is a hard one to figure out!
Anyway, I have done another project. It was a good one. I have this lamp that Bob got for me 7 years ago for my birthday. I love the lamp but the shade on it was falling apart and it really didnt look so great anymore. I searched around for a new (new to me) shade at thrift shops but I couldnt find one that I liked. So...I made my own. I made some paper out of old "SHOTS" magazines (Shots is a photography publication that is quite good but, I never look at them anymore). To do this you shred the paper, stick it in the blender and add water, blend into a pulp & pour out onto at screen (I found a couple great window screens at "Pak-it", a used materials center). Then you press the excess water through the screen. The paper came out a light grey. By the way, it takes a couple of days for the paper to dry completely. I used the old shade as a templete for the new shade. To add a little bling I cut squares out and placed some nature photos I took in the square holes. If none of that made sense - here are some pics!




So, that is it for now! I will post the Halloween pics as soon as I get them!
I have another project that I am going to start today or tomorrow! Will post when complete!
