All three eaglets have hatched and the family is doing well. I'm enjoying watching them grow on ustreamdecoraheagles.com so cute and interesting.
I have finished another basket that I think is neat and practical. I named it "Olde Crow Basket". To finish it, I got it all wet. Then I deluted black craft paint with water. With a paint brush just "touch painted" it lightly with the watered down paint. It spreads like "wild fire". I was glad I did a test weaving and tried this technique first. I found that the "light touch" was best. I would have had a much darker basket. Any way, I then stained it when the basket was dry. With the stain still wet I sprinkled the basket with cinnanon. Finally I wiped it down. Yes, the cinnanon is in the nooks and crannies of the basket and I'm lovin' it. Infact, I sprayed it with a sealer to keep the cinnanon from falling off. ;-) wink* It is the look of olde, finding it in my grandma's attic, a family treasure for sure. (oh, for sure a treasure).
By the way gas is $3.87 in Wales, WI
