Just as I suspected... give these guys
a "coffee-stain bath"... and their personalities just "pop!"
a "coffee-stain bath"... and their personalities just "pop!"
("rusty hearts"... I'm thinking a must!)
per·son·al·i·ty ˌpərsəˈnalədē noun
"the combination of characteristics or qualities
that form an individual's distinctive character."
peculiarity = "endearing" (in this case)
So, I coffee-stained these guys,
added a healthy heap of cinnamon to the mix
and popped them in the oven for thirty minutes...
rinsed part of the coffee-stain off
and put them back in the oven until "done..."
Oh... I added paper clay lips too... the low-heat oven
dried the paper clay along with the coffee-stain.
Face-Painting is next!
Thank you for taking a peek! Daryle
I love these!
ReplyDeleteHi Dixie... how wonderful to hear from you! I'm having fun; but missing the "ning" fellowship! Daryle
DeleteI adore these little guys. Yes, they DO have personality. I especially love the look that their hats give them.
ReplyDeletePenny... they have been so much fun to work on. My life is far too busy these days; so finding an hour or two to be at my table in our workroom has been a lifesaver! Daryle
DeleteOh yes! Endearingly characterful. Loving them much!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam... they DO make me smile! Daryle
DeleteDaryle, they are amazing, can't wait to watch them 'become '!Deb xo
ReplyDeleteDeb... thank you, thank you for stopping by and leaving a note! Daryle
DeleteYve... I have always preferred coffee-stain over tea. I often "dry" my stained fabric in a low-temp oven or a low-setting microwave; it gives such a rich, time-worn look to the fabric. Daryle P.S. I too have ever had my fabric begin to smolder!
