Yet ANOTHER Reason Why I love Martha

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Besides being a brilliant, trailblazing, take-no-crap ex-con, I love that she puts Paw-Paw on the counter and could care less what anyone thinks. If you click on the pics multiple times you’ll get to see her kitchen a little better.

Pumpkin Place Setting (or just really sparkly pumpkins for Fall)

Friday, October 17th, 2008

The glittering technique is super easy (I love you, Martha Stewart).

1. Spray a mini pumpkin (a real one, not an artificial one) with spray adhesive.

2. Sprinkle with ultrafine glitter.

3. Enjoy having glitter all over your hair, body and studio for the next month.

These sparkly little orbs take only minutes to create. I was able to spray and glitter these three pumpkins in less than ten minutes. (The tags…a different story. Why must I layer everything?)

Unfortunately, I could not take a pic of me actually glittering the pumpkins since I do not have four hands and do not trust my husband with anything more advanced than the disposable camera he bought 6 years ago. The Martha Stewart ultrafine glitter works spectacularly well. (again, I love you, Martha).

I highly recommend using spray adhesive since it’s so quick and easy. Unlike     the white glue, it isn’t thick and doesn’t interfere with the natural ridges in the pumpkin. If you absolutely must use the white stuff, water it down a lot. Trust me, the glitter will still stick.
