I might have made a couple mushrooms. And the best part was playing with them afterward and arranging them on the shelves.
My goal was to have at least 100 completed, and there were already about 20 set up at my booth in Good Juju.
It took a few weeks of off and on crafting, because I felt like I wasn’t getting very many full days in the studio.
My friends meet weekly for an afternoon mosaic group, which is an ideal time to chat with buddies and work on small projects like these.
I often have other commitments on the Fridays the group gathers, so I got maybe 3 play dates to bring schroomies to there.
Then I was able to scoop out a few days of studio time.
Once I can set aside big chunks of a day, a lot can happen, quickly!
Zap, 80 little mushrooms in a variety of colors, done and ready to go.
I even had time to play around with some new techniques for the gills.
At this point, this style takes a bit longer for me, so I didn’t create many this way. I needed to get my goal met for a couple of orders. Once I have done a few of these honey comb gills, I think I’ll get quicker at it and can make more this way.
I will be sitting down to craft another 25-30 or so, because out of the collection I have finished, quite a few sold already and I’m saving the Poison Toadstools (black or orange, some purple or acid green) for my own Halloween display. Apparently, I did not set my goal high enough, but the order of 60 isn’t due til September, so I can look forward to more fun mushie days in the studio.
