flower box

WELL FINISHED THE BOX...ALMOST.

NEED TO PUT THE PLEXI-GLASS ON TOP.

MY QUESTION IS..WHAT GLUE? REMEMBERING THAT THIS IS VERY VERY CLEAR PLEXI..SO ANY GLUE THAT IS NOT TOTALLY TRANSPARENT..WILL SHOW AND RUIN THE EFFECT...I WAS THINKING OF SOME GLUE SQUARES THAT MIGHT RAISE THE GLASS A BIT FOR EFFECT?

THE GREEN KNOB IS AN EARING I BROKE OFF THE BACK..

THE PURPLE FRONT ARE DOMINOES...HAD TO DO THIS BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE WHERE I PULLED OUT THE TAB FROM THE HANDLE ( THIS WAS A WOODEN PURSE)

EVEN THO I PUT RIBBON ETC OVER IT..IT WAS NEVER PERFECTLY SMOOTH SO HAD TO COVER IT.

I ALSO HAD NOT INTENDED TO USE SILVER AS THE ACCENT BUT THE FEET ARE...NEXT TIME I AM GOING TO TRY TO PAINT THE FEET GOLD...

I MADE THIS BOX TO EXPERIMENT WITH..I USED JUST PAPER ON THE TOP AND DID NOT FIRST COPY THE PAPER ONTO CAN-VAN..WHICH ALWAYS MAKES A SMOOTHER TOP..BUT KNOWING I WAS GOING TO PUT THE PLEXI-GLASS OVER..I DIDN'T THINK I NEEDED TO TRANSFER TO CAN-VAN....I AM ALSO GOING TO TRIM THE EDGES IN UTEE USING THE TECHNIQUE I USED LAST TIME...DUSTING CLEAR STAMP GLUE ON FIRST..THEN SPRINKLE ON THE UTEE THEN HOLD THE HEAT ABOUT 15 INCHES HIGH SO THE UTEE WON'T BLOW AWAY..AND PATIENTLY ( PROBABLY ONLY TIME I CAN PRACTICE THIS VIRTUE) ADD HEAT..AND ADD HEAT...AND SLOWLY ADD HEAT UNTIL IT MELTS IN LITTLE BUBBLES. GREAT EFFECT AND KEEPS EDGES FROM TEARING WITH USE.

SO NOW..I AM READY TO MAKE A PURSE/BOX WITH THE HAND MADE PAPER I PURCHASED AT PAPER STUDIO BEFORE THEY CLOSED FOR EVERYDAY SALES.

I WANTED TO TRY SOME IDEAS FIRST...

SO? PLEXI-GLASS ADHESIVE???

NOW I HAVE TO GO AND CLEAN UP THE STUDIO...I AM NOT A NEAT WORKER, BUT I DO CLEAN UP WHEN FINISHED. MY MOM WHO WAS A GOURMET COOK ..ALWAYS SAID ' YOU CLEAN UP AS YOU GO'. WELLLLLLLLLL...I CAN'T STOP AND LOSE MY THOUGHTS, BUT I DO CLEAN UP BETWEEN PROJECTS!! SO ITS CLEAN UP TIME! I THINK THERE IS A SONG LIKE THAT FOR THE FIRST GRADERS..BUT WE WON'T DISCUSS THAT RIGHT NOW...

ENJOY WHATEVER PROJECTS YOUR DOING..AND SHARE IT!!!!

CHEERS.
