Yes, I am awash in unfinished projects. I was going to try to put together a typical blog post, but that task seems a bit daunting. Instead, let's take a look at what's going on around the CC Homestead. Above, appears to be a happily completed project, right? Well, not so much, it looks like the below photo if you turn it around.
The base is a large (maybe 4" dia.) recycled styrofoam ball that I primed first, it was mod-podged in its previous life. Then channeled my inner Morticia and cut up Dollar Store roses and hydrangeas, leaving about a 1/2" stem.
They seem to fit quite snugly with no glue, I first used an awl to poke a hole, then tucked the flower stem in.
This flower ball is done on a smaller, maybe 2", ball with larger rose flower heads.
Next comes the "pearl" ball. Now I ask, does this look like pearls to you? That would be a big fat "Nada!" I used the bead necklaces that get tossed out at parades, hot glued them to another recycled ball, spray painted them first Heirloom White, then White White. Onto plan C and/or D.
This is the "start" of what was supposed to be a really great project from the MarthaStewart.com website. While I think the ideas--which I'll keep to myself right now--are good ones, probably not for this particular wedding.
Some small monograms--you'll never guess what they're made from. I also got the monograms from MarthaStewart.com.
How did burlap get in with these wedding decorations??? That will be unveiled (Ha! No pun intended) later.

You had me literally laughing/snorting out loud with that second picture after what you wrote! My husband thought something was wrong with me! :) Love the look of the little monograms. So many projects! You are one busy Mother of the Bride! (And you know I understand.)
ReplyDeleteI just love the shade of green you are using in the wedding. It's going to be so pretty. I don't know what the monograms are but I like them!
