HaLLoWeen Silicone Molds


These are the first Silicone Molds I have ever used.
Meh.

The idea is beTTer than the actual outcome.
 I tried using buTTer and Oil for the molds.
 The buTTer just didn't work that well.
Apparently, you have to LIBERALLY douse with Oil 
to get a good release.

I did use the Golden BuTTer Cake Mix
which may have also been the problem.
It's a very thick, FLuFFy batter
which made it difficult to 
place in the molds
and to find a comfortable amount
of baTTer fiLLage.

I feel like it would have worked
mucho better if I had used 
a more fluid batter.

All in all,
I would try them again.

Tools I'd Like to have....





BRIGHT annnnd Shiny!

I do have fun working with Metal.
Alas, one of the biggest turn offs for Me
is the filing and sanding and polishing...
I just can't get past the nails on the chalkboard thing!

Problem solved!
 At least, a big portion of it.
still have to file...

CRaFts from Around the CoRner


How CooL is this dress?
You could add pretty much anything to
dress it up as a costume.
I'm thinking,
Those silver alien type head bands.

Perfect for all those parties coming up!
I'd wear it all year...
