  • Now, I'm not in ANY way an artist (if you are forgive me) I simply watered down acrylic paint (you can use a textile medium to thin the paint but I just used water) then I dabbed and spread paint on the fabric & added more water ...

    that look like old light bulbs? Or would it make that much a difference? Wonder if you could just screw the lid over the wire to make it waterproof? Would have to be thin wires, course I have some LED lighted dragonflies that are solar and they have a very thin wires. Sadly the solar thing is not working anymore so they aren't. Unless I figure a way to attach them to my lights.....Or to a battery.

Repurposing & Upcycling: Besides putting this in the garden, what would you do with it?

A friend has approached me and asked what she should do with this piece of shellacked driftwood she received as a wedding gift from a family member... I don't think modification is an option... what would you do with it, especially since that family member visits occasionally?
