So, its 9:30pm and i’m ready for sleep. i had an idea earlier in the day for a ceramic pin she could wear to school on her birthday the next day, but it was a bit too last minute to fire it. i wanted her to wear something, just because on your birthday, you just want everyone to know…especially when its the big “7″. i began this project with a piece of white duck cloth, cut in a cupcake shape, painted with gesso front and back. i used silver crayon for the lines of the bottom, mixed gel medium (first time i used it!! fun!) and pearl pink fabric paint to make the frosting, sprinkle with glitter, of course. i was frustrated i didnt have a pin or backing for it, and safety pinning it would just mess up the decoration, so i came up with the bow idea. sorry, i would have journalled better the steps i took to make it had i known it turned out cute enough to post. :) happy birthday, babe.
Late night mixed media idea for the birthday girl
