I've been hoarding these empty Soap & Glory pots for a while despite the sarky comments from DH who seems to think that my keeping 100's of tiny scraps of paper, empty pots and jars, loo rolls etc. are the signs of me losing my marbles! So to keep him of my back I thought I should try and use some of the stuff.
This is something different for me, but I really got a buzz from the whole project and will definately be making more projects using recycled items! There are a couple of things I'd do differently, but on the whole I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
The dragon has been coloured with Promarkers. He's then been decoupaged and stickled. Glossy Accents have been applied to his eyes, teeth and claws. The pot and gems have been coloured with alcohol inks.
