25. I make tiny things out of things

Sat May 2, 2015, 06:30 PM

May 2015

for my mini fairy garden dioramas. Here are pictures of the tea set and snack bowls & trays I made yesterday out of acorns and pinecone petals. I got the idea from the web. The saucers and trays are covered with moss to hold the cups and bowls upright. The white stuff under the moss in the first picture is glue. It dried clear and doesn’t show now. Making silly crafts like these is a complete waste of time. Knowing that is depressing, and I’m trying to quit. I really am.
