Wizard Of Charms

I finished another set of wine charms. My sister Deb, is enamoured of The Wizard of Oz. What better subject to use for wine charms, cuz, We Are Not In Kansas Anymore, that's for sure!


The secret is in the Modge Podge. I used a larger font book this time for the words and made sure to Modge Podge the back of the words, so the print on the back wouldn't show thru. I also forced myself to wait 48 hours between drying time and moving on to the next step. I think I will give these one more coat of DG3. I also wised up and am making Smaller Holes AFTER collaging the cap. DUH. The caps are photographed on Cardboard that I am recycling into postcards. I buy cases of Fancy Feast cat food for my two spoiled boys, and the can layers are seperated by perfectly sized cardboard in very good condition. I did about 3 layers of gesso, some through stencils:
Added layers of Glimmer Mists and Adirondak color washes. The computer doesn't show how shimmery they are. I am a Glitter Whore. I know, it's hard to be taken seriously when you like sparkle, but so be it. Guilty Glitter Glutton am I. teehee.

The charms and the postcards are a good project to do together, while one project is drying, you can hop over to the other. Not sure where these are going, but I will be adding transfers of some sort either with alcohol and transparencies or gel medium. I may even bind them together and make a book. I think Happy New Years cards would be fun, too, don't you? Time will Tell, or more Accurately the Muse Will Speak. teehee. xoSusan
