Don't forget to poke the photos to enlarge!

Bits and Pieces...

First you tear scraps of the theater trays into little pieces and then the pieces into layers.
 Then you have Tessie poke her head through the porthole while you are trying to glue the pieces on... And ask, "Do I look like Queen Elizabeth the First in a ruffled collar?".

Then you tap the top of her head with the ball stylus until she backs out of the hole and you continue working.

At least that's how I do it...

She gave up and went away for a while... Not for long though. I think that Zar got tired of her suggestions for ways to grab the time machine and told her to go away... I heard her tell him that she could "invisablize" it... That was the straw that broke the camel's back...

I glued pieces of the tray randomly around the box and then used a crochet hook and ball stylus to knock down the edges of the stone.

That was supposed to show up in the third photo... Didn't happen...It will be more noticeable after paint is added.

I also mounted pieces of chair rail on the window bars to give that area more interest...

Now all I have to do is spend the rest of the morning staining and painting stone. That is, if Tessie doesn't want to help... If she does, it will take until midnight to finish...

See you tomorrow.

Crazy Tessie! When I was just looking at the pic before I had read anything, I did not recognize Tessie's head! lol!
