“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

I finally completed the Advent calendar. It did not turn out how I had imagined it would, but I’m glad to be done.

Inside the lid: These are the boxes I made to hold the candy. I was going to glue a support piece of board across them but didn’t. I had to make each one separately.....they didn’t fit as well as I had hoped.

I had to build an additional frame around the boxes to get enough coverage of the edges.

I added 1/8” striping tape on the edges to soften the fact that I couldn’t get poster board to match Hermès orange. I used 1/4” striping tape on the top to hold the ”doors”

I added the candy that signifies Christmas Day in a tissue paper pouch, as I had spacing challenges.

The End! Glad I did it, but even more glad it’s over. :yahoo: Boy, do I have a mess to clean up.


This turned out really well! The best Advent calendar I’ve ever seen. :tup:
 
After sanding down the excesses, I apply the color.
Here when the problem was started. Because the clay meets the color it becomes soft again. :lol:
So back to square one. I apply the clay mix with color to near match the dish color.
And waiting again. :lol:View attachment 4911426View attachment 4911425

To be continued next month in the Latest H Purchase thread.

I really wish I could have been there to see the photos being staged! I’ll be watching for the reveal....and more of your Hero....
 
Since it looks like I’ll be staying home a lot for the next month (or 6) I decided that I would develop some crafting skills. So far, I’ve gotten good at finding supplies.

I made a magazine holder by cutting a box in half and adding some striping tape. It works, as long as it’s fairly full. It’s not weighted enough to stay upright when it‘s only holding one magazine. Here, it’s holding 4.

A long overdue purchase....my 1st SLG. Barenia faubourg fauve/Bleu de malte Calvi. When my SA told me she had gotten one in, I swear I could smell it at my house three hours away.

Why do my photos fall over onto their sides when I try to reduce them?

Take a screenshot of the photo and use that instead. It reduces the size and posts in the correct direction.
