From start to finish all in one day! It's so beautiful!! I think there's some holes but they'll hafta wait to be filled once all the glue dries this time around.
I'm very proud of it tho!
I used Swarovski elements, a silver chain necklace cut into pieces, ribbons, scrap booking adhesive pearls in various sizes and Paul my special octopus charm. He likes his new home. ^^
I didn't end up using the pink pearls or the kwik seal caulking. The pink pearls didn't quite fit with what I wanted to do. And the kwik seal ended up needed heavy ventilation, gloves, goggles... too many safety features for my wanting not to go out in a ridiculously blustry and snow-ish day. Ah Winter. Or rather "winter" as this year seems to be - but more on that later. I ended up using
weldbond glue - hopefully it will hold. From what it advertises it should. Fingers crossed!
