Christmas Crafts Part 1

So ever since i graduated (last Saturday), ive felt like i have had a horrible case of ADD. i cant seem to focus on one task, i need to do multiple things in my day to feel like im  accomplishing anything.
The other day (and post) i made a very Delicious Fuzzy Navel Cake, and today i was commissioned by my mother to create a gift to give out to her friends.

She first wanted just cookies (tomorrows post), but i suggested something else.
home-made Christmas/holiday bulbs. not that hard to create.
the first thing i did was cut about 2 inches of tinsel and stuffed it into the bulb.
I have learned that this is best done prior to painting, since there is always a chance that they will chip.
the first design i chose was trees outdoors. the other is a snowman. i think the trees came out awesome. the snowmen..........
they are a little special. (the one in the bottom right was created for me and everyone on IWC)

This took maybe 3 hours with various waiting times for drying. i used acrylic paint which worked wonderfully.
Tomorrow its cookies!!
