Craftin tid bits #1

I was guest designer for Tara over at Craftin Desert Divas Linky Party #4.

I wanted to do something different so I decided to try my hand at embossing on glass.

The first time was a big flop!!!

I cleaned the jar (an old mason jar) with a Clorox wipe.

I was in such a big hurry that I did not wait for it to dry. :(

I used the versamark to stamp the image of the Peacock on the side of the jar.

As you can see when I put the embossing powder on it stuck on a bunch of places that it should not have.

Not pretty at all.

Just to be sure that it was not the embossing powder or my stamp I stamped on a tag. 

As you can see it was a very clean, nice, neat stamp.

So I decided to attempt it again. 

Can't give up on one try!

Now this looked great!  I am quite pleased! I made my first wire loopy lou also.

I think that it looks real nice.  I like working with this wire.  It is real easy to manipulate.

So what do you think of the finished version?

I am making a few to sell for Mothers Day presents.

I think that the next one will be dragonflies and butterflies or I may just surprise you.
