Fair Warning .......

After all the kerfuffle having to change over to a new blog earlier on in the year, producing posts has not been as easy or fun as it used to be. Since Live Writer died, the positioning of pictures has become the real bane of my life, so after 15 odd years of pretty consistent blogging I've decided that from January 1st 2025 I shall be going out to pasture! I may still post the odd picture or two as a record of my latest project, but I won't be writing up or photographing any of the process, because, sometimes, that can actually take longer than the making itself. As a blogger, I am now something of a dinosaur, if I were starting out now I'd have my own YouTube channel, but with my Brummie accent, I don't think the world would still ever be quite ready for that! Anyway, with six months to go, there's still plenty of time for a few more projects and ideas so let's see what happens .........

Another Little Panda Frame for Iris

I'm sorry, yet another Panda frame today, Iris really is a girl who loves pandas! 


And again, there's not a lot to it.


My apologies as I can't remember where the shallow, wooden, 4.5ins square tray came from (probably just a random purchase sometime), however the rhinestone panda came from Temu (£1.31), as were the tiny resin flowers (100 pieces for approx. 98p -  but Temu the prices have a habit of almost changing daily!).


I simply gave the frame two coats of gold acrylic paint .......


..... before gluing a piece of greenish, patterned, scrap paper in the centre to act as a background, swiftly followed by the panda (which is backed on a thick plastic film) using B7000 glue.


I was going to leave it like that, but it did look rather plain, so I added some faux stitching round the edges plus clutters of three dots here and there, followed by the resin flowers ........


...... making it much more appealing to hang in Iris's very, very, very pandary bedroom!

That's adorable! Iris is a lucky girl to have a Nana who can feed and encourage her love of pandas.
