Happy Halloween

My day is done and it is time for bed- and i didn't get a chance to craft all day .....so sad....but i hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween :)

DAS air dry clay- Day of the Dead Skeleton project

I bought a pack of the air dry clay and have been dying to use it. So today i opened up the package and started to play....  The project I am attempting to make is a Day of the Dead skeleton dressed with clothing I sculpt from DAS clay.  I bought the skeleton from the Dollar Tree so I wouldn't be worried about investing too much in my trial run. I didn't take any pictures yet but i will and i will post them hopefully tomorrow.  I am use to polymer clay and it is totally different - the texture- the flexibility and of course the color. I only made the jacket so far, since wanted to see how it dried first.  Argh I have to wait 24 hours .... patience is not a virtue of mine. I was searching the Internet trying to find projects that others have done with the DAS clay and only found projects for kids. I was hoping to find tips and tutorials but no such luck on my journey...so sad.  I hope you will check back with me to see how my project turns out...good or bad.?

Mod Podge Shelf

Hi
This is my first test at setting up a post so please be patient with me as i learn how all this works, and dont give up on me :) .  Hope you will share your ideas and comment all the time.
This little project was done out of frustration on not having enough space in my craft-room.
I had a couple of wooden boards in my garage just waiting to be useful.  As you will find out i need things to be easy ( but i also like messy sometimes )
Gonna give you a step by step on what i did , just in case you get inspired to do the same :)
1- glued (with wood glue ) 2 pieces of wood planks - then just let it dry overnite just to make sure it was dryed completely.
2- painted with white acrylic paint the whole piece ( but you could use whatever color you want )  I did a couple of coats.  Again let it dry... it was quick since acrylic is quick to dry ..yippie
3- measured the boards and cut my scrapbook paper to size.
4- Now the really fun part ---Break out the Mod Podge ( i used Matt ) ..apply a coat of MP (i did paper section by section to make sure MP didnt dry up...) I used foam brush.
5- make sure there are no wrinkles or bubbles in paper ( i had a slight bump where the board met :( )
6- After all sheets are applied let dry...again ( i know i hate the drying time part too.)
7- Apply a coat of MP on top of paper now. .... after that is dry i applied paper punch out embellishments to jazz it up alittle ..even though i knew i was gonna put stuff on top of it....go figure
8- My last step was to apply 2 more coat of MP. 
One shelf down now to start on the top one :)
Hope you enjoyed my 1st post - would luv to hear from you please leave me a comment
