Making an Etsy treasury
Making a treasury on Etsy isn't as easy as you'd think. There are only 333 spots available and you sort of have to stake out your spot. As soon as the 333rd treasury expires, pounce!
We were able to get a spot on our first try (lucky!) and made a treasury called "Eclectica". So far it's looking pretty good and doesn't expire until Monday.

New item: The Green Giant mobile home collage
A koi pond is no place for a green travel trailer! Unless, of course, that green travel trailer is the Green Giant, the third piece in our mobile home series. We decoupaged this green retro cutout of an old travel trailer on glass with a Japanese Chiyogami paper background. Chiyogami paper is surprisingly hard to work with for the purposes of decoupage; it's kind of fragile but sturdy enough that getting the bubbles out is harder than you'd expect. We wrestled with this thing with glue-covered fingers for like an hour trying to get each and every little bubble out from under the paper and glue. We think the end result was worth it though.
New item: The Silver Bullet mobile home collage
Oh yeah. What could be more romantic than the open road, a shiny silver trailer, and a pretty floral print behind you? This art piece is surprisingly attractive, no matter how campy it is, and is sure to elicit a smile from anyone who sees it. We're really digging this mobile home series so far.
New item: The Pink Lady mobile home collage
And if the above statement is true, this is the classiest collage ever made. We decoupaged a pink trailer cutout onto picture glass and gave it an interesting stripey background and damask borders on the left and right sides. Then we stuck it in a green hand-stained frame and voila! Classy.
