We had fun (as usual) on Saturday. I was the project leader this time, and wanted something simple - but new to the group - as I needed to be back home by 1 pm for my final goldwork class with Clara. I chose an old standby project that I've made before, and the ladies really leaned into it.
I shared how to "meld" a photocopy image (or in Linda's case, a small American flag - stick removed) to a candle, using glue stick and a heat gun. After the images were melted into the wax, we added trims and embellishments to finish our projects.
Our candles only took about a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to complete - even with sharing the heat guns - and the ladies will likely make more of them as gifts in the future. We had time to spare, so we visited for a while, and after hugs and goodbyes, I drove home.
These are the two I made - one as the teaching piece, and the other to go with it - as Birthday gifts for a family member. Simple embellishments, but I know they'll be appreciated.
I completed my Blue Tit Goldwork Bird project yesterday, too. I'll share that with you on Wednesday, and Tag will see you tomorrow. Here's to another productive week!
