Warning do not look at the End Picture if of a Sensitive Disposition. ****

Pine Cone

 

I had an idea for some extra Decoration. I found one of the spare Pine Cones that I had rejected for the Ring.

Pine Cone Test

 

I began a Paint Test on the Pine Cone. First I did a few Seeds and when that looked alright I continued so it was all Painted.

Start Painting

 

I let the Test Cone completely dry so I could examine it properly. It didn’t take long as I was using a simple Watercolour Paint

All Painted

 

I Painted all 3 Pine Cones attached to the Wreath. I let them dry then I went to turn the Ring over so I could Paint the other side.

Pine Seed Stuck

 

It was once I tried to move the Ring for turning that I noticed that unfortunately the Superglue had seeped through on to the dish.

I had to tug the Ring to remove it and it left a Pine Seed behind along with some Superglue.

********

Should Know Better

Remember the old saying ‘more haste less speed’. I was impatient to crack on with the Painting therefore I grabbed the nearest thing I had to remove the Superglue and Seed.

So with the Dish in one Hand and the Scissors in the other I began to prise the remnants off. Of course the inevitable happened. I slipped and thrust the Scissors straight into my Palm.

Consequently I had to stop Crafting for about a week.
