Easter bubble bobble paper craft box

Hi!

I know in many countries Easter has gone by now,  but here Greek Orthodox Easter is this Sunday.

So, inspired by my niece and the countless Easter paper crafts she's been doing, I made this little box template  and asked my sister to try it out for me (as I don't have a printer).

Here is the template (just right-click on it and save image as...):

And here is the box my sister made with my niece. They filled it with tulle and tiny chocolate eggs and ladybugs, but you can't see them. Sorry for the blurry and not-so-good picture, but I was in a hurry.

If anyone makes this, enjoy!

And Happy Easter!

Second Monster High Repaint

Hello world!

Wow, it's been 3 months since my last post. I really should post more often.
(And I chose to post again on April Fools' for some reason.)

Anyway, I completed this about 1,5 month ago. Then I proceeded to hide my camera for some reason and now I remembered it and dug it out.

So, here is Ms Spectra Vondergeist's repaint.

This time the varnish I used was given  to me by my sister's husband. It's a hobby spray for models and miniatures and stuff like that. I think it worked rather well. Though the only issue I had, was that it was extremely cold outside where I sprayed it and I think it came on as a bit "spotty". But because this doll's so white, you can't see it. Also, I think because of this the blush was a bit strange to apply, it felt like the spots with more varnish on would get more blush. Anyway, I managed to work with it and I think it came out ok.

First I wrapped my doll like a mummy using plastic wrap and paper tape so that I don't get the rest of her full of varnish when spraying.

Reminds me of a twi'lek with one head-tail-thing.

Then, I gathered my supplies. Acrylics, chalk pastels for the blush and shadows, some pencils to try out and of course brushes, extra tiny brushes, q-tips and toothpicks (and a cup of decaf coffee -- I like the taste of coffee, not the caffeine, though this one turned out meh).

I removed the makeup from the doll and left her faceless.

Creepy.

Then I did a few coats of varnish, waiting in between for them to dry.

Afterwards, I started the blush battle.I managed to win, but only barely. As I said before the weird invisible blotchiness of the varnish made it hard for me to apply the blush.

Is this how zombies would blush?

Then a couple more matte varnish layers and on to the acrylics!

Ta-da. I think she has a bit of a ghost bride vibe about her. I thought I had a picture of her unwrapped, but I have no idea where it went. I got some fabric to make her a cloak (yay), so I'll take a picture of her wearing that.

And that's it for now.
I have no idea what my next post will be about. Maybe something Easter themed?

Anyway, until next time!
