Am I asking too much here by only having this blog for three days now and not having any followers? How do we find followers anyway? I posted it on Facebook and thought that would be someone at least one!! Oh well even if I am the only one I am enjoying doing it and it is actually inspiring me to create stuff so that I can have pictures of things to share. I am creating a box of love for a gift right now. It is not finished but I will post a picture of it anyway. I still always have the feeling of "is it good enough" will they love it or think it is stupid etc..etc...but I do it anyway. I love it, what can I say. I really do enjoy it regardless of what others think so I do it.
I finally bought me some gesso and I love it. I used it as the base on this box. It is a paper mache box I purchased at a craft store. And I have some of those Sakura pens. Both the glaze and the souffle. I love the pens a lot and plan to buy other kinds of them. The glaze is especially fun to use. The flow is awesome and the colors stand out beautifully. They also are kinda 3D which is fun too. The theme is love,friendship and family. So, I wrote all sorts of things on the lid regarding those three topics. I am not finished with the bottom of the box though. There will be different textures and designs on it as well. I used tissue paper and used dryer sheets on the top to create texture on top of the writing. The drew on it with a sakura red glaze pen. The hearts with wings represent the love that this person shares with the world etc...So, I don't know what do you think? I have seen boxes like this sell for over $50.00 and they did not look any better then mine, which is encouraging to me. It does not mean it is a great piece of art but it does mean people are willing to pay for it anyways...LOL...
Happy New Year Everyone...mayb you have a very creative and properous New Year.
