I have been procrastinating on my artfest charms... I made a batch of resin charms last month.. but they did not turned out as I had planed, ( a few of them still may make it into my trade bag) I encased book text seedpods and red sting in the resin.
So for the last few weeks I was clueless as to what I could do for my charms...
so yesterday I did my little thrift store day and lo and behold there were these little plastic wedding favor doves in a little bag about 100 of them ( so I scooped them up and went home happily and drilled a hole through there little plastic bird body's then created the wire nest... I am now happy I now have some trades!
So here you have it my 50 birds in there nest's! all ready for artfest!
Today I will make ATC cards, I will shoot for 50 but I will be over the top happy if I can do 100! wish me luck now its off to work I go!
If you respond to this post with your email I will pick 2 winners who will each win a bird nest charm tomorrow at 11 am .
good luck! :)
