Technically, this was one of my string of crafty failures. Not because the craft itself was a failure, but because what I intended was a failure. I think these turned out just beautiful, which is a good thing, but I…
Resin Artwork
As I mentioned the other day, these are papercuttings that I’ve mounted on a wooden board I stained a reddish teak color, and then covered in resin. I have this little trio of niches I needed something special for, and…
Now on to some more successful crafting
