Hello again! So here we are, and it is June already. Summer is here, and so is my June project.\u00a0It is a little bit about personal growth and nature. June makes me think about tending my\u00a0garden. You have to spend time making sure that you are giving it the attention it needs to\u00a0make sure things grow and thrive. So often we don\u2019t tend to ourselves as carefully. So this is\u00a0project is about investing the time in ourselves to make sure we thrive, to believe that we can\u2026\u00a0whatever that entails. So lets all find our wings, and soar.<\/p>\n

Other supplies: Copper and green paint,\u00a0Cream paste paint,\u00a0Brown wax paint,\u00a0Brown pigment powder,\u00a0Stamp and brown ink pad,\u00a0Super Glue,\u00a0Small bit of wire,\u00a0Text<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was a pretty quick process, I painted everything with the green paint and before it dried I\u00a0mushed some of the copper paint over it with a cloth. When it was dry I used the brown wax\u00a0paint to age the base. I glued everything together with Super Glue. Next step was using the\u00a0stamp and ink on the base.<\/p>\n

I cut out my text and glued them on the banner, and used some of the powdered paint to grunge\u00a0it up. I used the cream paste paint on the butterflies and rubbed a bit on the birdcage too. While\u00a0the butterflies were still damp I brushed on some of the brown pigment.<\/p>\n

While that was drying I\u00a0used a small bit of wire to attach the top of the door to the birdcage. Then on went the\u00a0butterflies, again using the Super Glue.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s to spreading our wings a bit this summer, and see where it might take us!<\/p>\n

Just\u00a0remember the sun screen\u2026.<\/p>\n
