Good morning, good yawning! I'm still very tired after my retreat at the weekend but we had such a fab time (more on that later!) I tried to do the pebble pictures that I talked about last week and that's what you can see on progress in my utility room here.
The random paints and putty etc are from the current DIY projects and the bottles of liquid are actually washing liquids for the laundry!
So using the glue gun... its messy and fun and the black heavy stones stuck well. The heart shaped picture of little stones that I did first are to go in an 8x8 box frame. When I stood it up to show my boy, several of them fell off. Clearly I haven't done these ones right so its back to the glue gun for me but first I need to kick some backside in my Body Combat class.
Don't forget to join in with the desk share over at Julia's for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.
Bye for now

Ooh it's all working really well - the stones prolly need roughing up a little to give the glue a chance..what a brillo idea LJ, those black stones are gorgeous. Have fun at kick the butt class!

Happy WOYWW. Always wanted a glue gun - looks like fun, and what a good idea to use pebbles. Ali x #22, with candy
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. My sons are always giving me stones so I shall now start collecting them in the hopes of making something as beautiful as yours. (OK, it's really an excuse to use a hot glue gun)

I would imagine getting those rocks to stick - it probably takes some heavy duty glue. April #145
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a very busy desk. I found the glue gun doesn't work very well cause it doesn't have what it needs to hold on to the rocks. I used just regular Elmers or PVA and got a much better result. Thanks for sharing. Little late getting around this week but better a little late then never! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #11
ReplyDeleteI am hopeless at getting round the WOYWW desks these days! Had a full day with Annie and the twins and it threw me out completely!! I love your latest projects - especially your LOs!. Have a good weekend. x Jo
