9th Annual DG Christmas Craft Workshop..hear those bells??

That's great

I'll be doing mine tomorrow morning. Will that be enough time to dry Betty? How long does it take to dry. Maybe I should try to get it done today....?

Mine is dry and all frosty :)

So I should be okay doing it tomorrow I think..... Thanks Annette for passing on that info.....

Doesn't take long at all, you will be fine Barb

Thanks Betty. Looking forward to Sunday...

Just updating $$$ received

Got your and Liz's today Barb, appreciate it

Hi...
ohhh, will get that part done.

Yippee, Julia is joining us. We are excited!

I have 4 of the blocks, all frosted and ready to go.

You are energetic Lindakay

Does save time doing multiples at same time that way you don't have to wait for paint to dry,,just move on to another

OK, Betty, I am the first to have a problem! Of course, leave it to me! When I put on the secnd coat, some of it "peeled." Just in a little spot. I could turn it so that the hat covers it if that would be an easy fix!

Shouldn't have peeled, maybe you put on too heavy, you did put the one in the little container, am sure you did...maybe sand it a tad and give another coat..where did it lift? If you are lucky enough it might be where the hat sits low??or once you give another coat where a main tree branch is??

Remember now, opening in block is on the bottom, so where is the lift of paint?

And yes, worse comes to worse you could so back then scrub backing off

Think I put it on too thick. It has dried well now, so I will smooth the spot and apply again. It's fixable.
Time to clean plants and bring them in today. We're having our first frost Sunday night. Ugh! I know you Northern gals are laughing at me, but I have thin Southern blood! LOL

Hi...Ok my block is nice and frosty.
....hmmm, that's weird Julie, well I hope you got it fixed up.

Glad everyone has their items!

Betty, are we to leave the tac on?

I hope not. I took mine off.

Yes you were suppose to leave it on

Lindakay, maybe you can tape around it,

I have a couple of bare spots Betty. Can I touch it up? Or will that ruin what I have? I think I can work around it.

Up oh. I will tape it up.

No Barb you can lightly go over the area or entire piece

Did you have enough of the medium
So glad I could send that part

Just went downstairs and finished cleaning my craft room

I'm free tomorrow for any questions you may have

Anybody seen Pat around, she is the only one that didn't say she got her packet??

Got to put my tac back on!

Just touched up my mac tac so I'm good. Norm is going to set up my computer by the table so I can follow along. See you at 9:00 !!!!!

Good morning everyone,

I'm excited that each of you decided to join our 9th Annual Christmas Workshop, always a pleasure to have you in my workshop..

The lights are glowing on the fireplace, Christmas music playing and Mr.Snowman tree is looking on...heck it even snowed a tad last night!

It's looking a lot like Christmas

Fa la la, da last la

Coffee and timbits ready to start our day

I'm here!!! Good morning everyone..... Thanks for the goodies Betty. Anything from Timmies is so wonderful.

This indeed, just took a photo of the snow falling, started to laugh, the music started with Let it snow, Let it snow!

In my craft room as a good place to be

Well it's 9:00 am
Am sure some will join in as the morning progresses

So Barb, just you let me know when your first step is done

Step 1

On my table is the glass block, glass and tile medium applied and dry

Maybe hot chocolate/coffee/tea??

If you've those items then we are ready

If you are ready here goes

Wet your sponge and squeeze to remove the water in it

Dab the sponge in white paint and pounce the inner circle till you've covered the entire are

Reason I say pounce is because you don't want to build up the paint into mounds but want to cover the surface

Now it won't be entirely covered but that is ok, ready to dry

Pounced!!!!

How did it go Barb?

Now you can let it dry on its own or you can use a blow dryer to quicken the process

Don't put it right on the piece but maybe 5 -6 inches above

See photo

Wait till glass. Cools and give another coat of white

What is veers?

Getting my paints out now.

Good Morning!!
Thanks for the treats Betty.
Enjoying the view at your house and mine, lots of white.

Waiving hi Barbara and Norm, what sweetie Norm is.

Ok my table is ready to roll. Pouncing now, wink.

Drats, means ready to dry

Morning lindakay

good morning Linda Kay.

Ok, mine is pounced. So on the second coat we pounce again?

Good morning Linda Kay and Judy. I love ow we can meet like this!!!

I am dry and ready to do second coat of white.

Waving back Judy..

I pounced and dried my 2nd coat, looks good
But if you feel you would like a 3rd go for it

Now off to wash my sponge and plate

How we doing so far?

Will give you time to catch up

How do you get rid of the bubbles in the paint?

Morning everyone.

Done!! Do I dry again with hair dryer?
