While it's definitely not perfect, I think it blends together fairly well. Once the paint is fully dry, I'm going to see how shiny it looks.

This part was fairly straightforward, and as you can see, the pieces came together easily & fairly nicely.

...the paint washes were beginning to gunk up into thick sections in places & I wanted to nip that in the bud before it got to be too heavy.

I painted the frames in mostly bright autumn colors to compliment my simple artwork...

Can you imagine a more perfect fit? They fit like they were made for each other.

Currently, I do nearly all my crafting work at my computer desk. It is simply not a big enough space to hold the number of tools & odds...

Though I ultimately want to use them as trick or treat bags, I didn't have any little candies to put in them yet...

When slicing bits of clay off of a 2mm snake of clay, the tiniest of hand twitch will create a noticeably different size.
