You know it's time to stop for the night when...(part II)

When you face plant your thumb into a pile of really hot glued while standing 6 feet up a latter entangled in a mess of brittle tree branches being attacked by mosquitos. Put a band aid on your now turning white future blister and go home. Sorry other hand.

Spray Paint Variables

When you spray paint glass, you have to worry about a tiny rippling that happens. I don't know why. Maybe it's temperature based. Maybe it's that the paint on top pulls the paint on bottom and that lower paint can't grab onto anything b/c it's on a nonporous surface. I don't know. But I do know that if I spray a thin layer, I don't think it'll happen. So I only messed up 5 of my pieces. I have to go back and try and clean them off with paint thinner or something but at least I have hope still of making the glass shiny.

And when I finally do do all the non-table glass, at least I'll know what to expect. Hopefully.

Glitter Ks and Zs

I may have blisters on my fingers after this weekend's use of scissors. There is a slight buzzing in my extremities that comes when I know I've used my hands too hard. Cutting card stock kills my right hand. Cutting flowers kills my left.

I had a total freak out (total) today around 2PM. Luckily I pulled myself out of one of the rooms I was holding up in and talked it out with Z. The problem I was (am?) having is that nothing ever feels 100% finished. Only when something is 100% finished can I take it 100% off my list. Only then can I stop thinking about it. So then even small progress feels like absolutely zero progress.

Table Analysis

This table from Kim and Matt's wedding (see credits at bottom of post) is a good one to analyze. Round tables are tough. This one is done well.

First off, they are using 10 table settings, which we will probably use. So, sorry guys in advance for cramping you a bit.

They are using 6 colors:
