craftgrrl | Bread Dough Ornaments (Reply)

I have here some ornaments I made a few years ago out of flour and salt, and then painted.

I left this in table format with the captions from my website, because it was way easier. I hope that doesn't make anyone's eyes sad.

These really make me wish there were some practical application of bread dough outside of the holidays.


Now keep in mind that these are my first attempts. This is the Air Force logo made for my brother. He was both an officer and a gentleman to pretend he liked it.	For some reason, I really like this angel with no hands.	I made this for a Spanish-speaking coworker. He may or may not like bells.

I made this cross/stake for my fellow Buffy lover, and I'm totally making another one.	For my landlords. GUESS WHAT THEIR NAMES ARE!	For our office janitor lady. She's Spanish, too, and sweeter than a candy cane, even though she just smiles and nods at me enthusiastically.

Present for Justin. It's, um, an inter-heart in an IM window.	I made this for Daisy. Hilarious.	This one turned out to be one of my favorites. It's the Dark Mark. It means Voldy's up to no good.

This is my coworker's dog, Gina. She's happy.	Harry Potter is not happy with my first attempt at sculpting people.	I don't care what you think it is, it's a micrphone.

Palm trees with Christmas lights almost make up for the lack of snow in southern California.	Traci writes and directs films...this has little to do with a yellow number-2 pencil, but I didn't have enough dough for a steadicam.	Scamp is a happy ornament!

This is Scamp chasing a broom, which he always does.	A snowflake or a Crappy White Lobster in a Kaleidoscope. You make the call.	Stewie plans world domination from your Christmas tree.

Holiday Tidings from your favorite antagonistic Spanish wrestler.	This is a tree with my company's logo at the top. I made it for the wacky guy in sales.

And just to tack on a question so I don't double-post: Can anyone recommend a good "Learning Beaded Jewelry for Noobs!" website? I got all these fun beads and clasps and wires for Christmas, and I don't know what to do with them! Thanks for looking!
