My first ornament of the season....took all evening and part of the afternoon to finish. I finally gave in and used the glue gun as there were just too many things to fasten. Hate all those stringies from the hot glue but I may be able to melt them away with the heat gun. I used clear glass ornaments and poured cheap acrylic paint into them....did't get many swirlies but the 4 of them seemed to get better as I went along. Hoping to get several more finished in the next 2 weeks for the adult grandchildren. Thanks to my Wacko friends, Sally Paul, and the gals on Latest Trends in Mixed Media for ideas and encouragement.
