If you've been a long time visitor of this blog, you know that all kinds of crafts lurk on my WIP list...and this year, I am determined to finish some of them!
One of them was a miniature kit a friend had picked up for me at her local discount crafts store. The design was absolutely adorable - a little Alice in Wonderland tea party in a plexi glass cylinder - but sadly, the 'discount' quality showed in the materials. A lot of it was very frustrating to build, several parts had to be painted, but the paint that was included was almost dried up, a ton of stuff had to be made from wire and glued together (and if you ever tried glueing wire, you know why that's an issue!)...frankly, by the time I had all the single parts finished, I was quite disheartened because most of them didn't look very neat. But since most of the work was done at that point, I continued putting everything together, and I have to say, now that it's all combined into one big (small) scene, that distracts from the little imperfections and I am actually very pleased with the result!
