My love-hate relationship with glitter continues to fester. We had to take a break from each other this spring after I got glitter in my ear that wouldn’t come out and I thought FOR SURE it was going to make it’s way into my brain cavity. The horror. Still can’t say for certain if it did (or didn’t) but my survivor spirit has put me up for another round.
I had this horse head sitting around for over a year. And while it was perfectly nice plain white, it really wanted to be a pretty pink sparkle pony.
No, really. Pony said so.
I used my ultra secret, no-shed, double sparkle glitter technique. I used a similar technique to make these candlesticks last fall, but a little different on the glitter mixing front. Check it out over at I Love to Create!
Love when you cover things with glitter! My favorite is still your dinosaur, but the horse is great too.
I was just wondering how you managed to get glitter so far into your ear that you were concerned about the glitter getting into your brain. I mean, did you accidentally use one of your glitter Q-tips by mistake? Were you maybe using your (lovely) long hair as a paint brush? Did your kitty make you jump in surprise right when you were holding the shaker of glitter and the glitter flew up in the air and landed in your ear?? On the plus side: just imagine if you ever have to have a Cat-scan of your head for some reason and there is glitter in your head? That would be so awesome!
Well, you are awesome already so the glitter would just be a bonus.
First off I almost peed my glitter bloomers…. That would have been a mess. Second, I’m really glad I’m not the only one that hears when things want to be glittered, distressed, painted metallic and rolled in oats… And lastly I got in huge trouble myself with glitter bugs roaming around the house sprinkling their ” glitter poop” on everything when it became apparent i was sending my husband, who is a ct state trooper, dressed in his full uniform, out to start his shift COVERED in the prettiest pink irredesent glitter… As if I rolled him around in mod podge then tossed him in a glitter shaker….his bald head glittering like he’d been in a very naughty place where stripper dust hails from…. Needless to say… His fellow troopers broke his stones about his glitter crafting…. So I had to put it away for awhile but I think you’ve inspired me to just tell him to take one for the team! If you do have a glitter tumor removed, just ask them to put it in a jar for a keepsake to take home…. That’s all! Love your blog, auntie peaches is my fav auntie!!
Bahahahaha! Best. comment. ever.
I used this technique for glittery butterflies on my daughter’s nursery and it’s awesome!
I love your horse! It looks so great and your technique is awesome. I have tons of projects that I haven’t glittered because of the shedding, but this solves my problem! Thanks!
