This weeks craft find goes to the humble paper mache christmas star found at Lincraft, which we are relying upon to give a certain celestial seasoning to our partridge in a pear tree show...A measly $1.49 each they are a delight in their raw state (and you know what fans of buff kraft card we are) but we needed to prime these wee wonders with white acrylic paint in order for us to work a little hml embellishment magic later on.
At the moment we still have quite a few to get primed before their final decorative touches, but we're still enjoying looking at the all white work in progress, and currently using it as the default hml christmas tree until the real one arrives.
By the way, in case you think you've seen that tree before, you may recognise it from such fabulous Hammer and Daisy exhibitions as "A Parliament of Owls" .

how beautiful!
I did think I recognized it, for a moment there I thought that all Melbourne people must have one laying around for just such an occasion ;)

Yes, Lincraft can be a place of much potential. I myself bought a set of nine 10cmx10cm primed and framed canvasses with great ambitions and no freakin time! Might be finished for NEXT xmas!
oh my god I bought them too! they were very seductive in the store but have been mocking me on the studio shelf ever since. so glad to hear I'm not the only one!
you can add me to that list of suckers as well - I also have a pile of them still wrapped in plastic doing nothing but taking up valuable space on the desk...
