    Rose vials! How about that?? Well, now you know that I've never seen that kind of thing before-- thought they were just something they used on the Rose Parage floats or something. So aren't they glass? Why paint them? I thought they looked so cool before. If they are plastic, then I can see why you'd want to paint them.

    Love all your projects-- those leaves are going to be so awesome. The whole project is going to be awesome, as are your other projects. You're rollin'!!!

    I painted the rose vials cuz they are plastic and I figured they would fade in the sun, used outdoor patio paint. The dragonfly is going way faster than my first Riana pc, the hand. Not as many bends/darts etc! Just wanna wip-er up fast! Will have to get back to housework/yardwork soon tho....lol!! DH's shift work has him gone for 14hrs/4days in a row, so while the cats away...!!! He usually comes home and is too tired to be bothered by the mess, as long as I clean it up on his days off, it's all good!lol! Gotta get to work but get home at 10pm so will probably start icing my cake!!! I just wanna get cementing that flower pc and the dragonfly....

    Today DH took the car, so I'm stuck at home, sooooo...I iced my cake, ready to grout, picked out some flowers... and have the body of my dragonfly done, so hopefully tomorrow I'll cement it, along with the flower boob holder.
    It's 4:30pm so gotta get dinner ready, later I'll maybe grout that cake, I also have some cup cakes material I grabbed to make some of those too!!! On a real low fat baking streak!!!

    You are REALLY cookin', girlie - on the front burner, too. Those projects - all at the same time. Geesh! Lookin' great.

  • 19 years ago

    WOW! What a busy girl! Everything is looking great, I'm curious to see how the dragonfly turns out, and that cake is going to be gorgeous! What did you use as a base for the cake?

  • 19 years ago

    Booohiss, all of your pictures have been moved. I bet everything turned out so great, though. Those pointy things were rose vials? LOL! Now you know how often I get flowers. I had no clue, but at least I now know why you painted them-- aren't they plastic? I love the shapes.
