Days 5-9 plus 12

[calzephyr]

Although it looks like I skipped some days, I was productive! I started making larger rocking horse ornaments. The trouble is that they were more work than I anticipated.

I designed the cutting file years ago, so it was easy to cut them out on Pazzles die cutting machine. It's like a Cricut.

I made a sample one (which my Mom bought, thanks Mom!) but it looked quite plain. I needed a way to jazz it up without too much mess or pain. I wanted to use glitter but....mess and pain. Fortunately there was a bottle of gold Elmer's glitter glue in the stash and I tried outlining the hooves and saddle with it. Plus, I discovered that the glue part dries clear, which made it great for painting the rockers.

Alas glitter glue doesn't dry as fast as you would like it! It was easy to mess things up or have pieces accidentally stick together. I decided to make only as many horses as I had cut rockers for. I'm still assembling them. Stay tuned for the whole herd!
