Back from a craft store run....got liquid wax candle paints, craft Tacky glue (dries clear, stays flexible post-drying), a sheet of museum board, two small sheets of colored paper, and a soft printing block. (The eraser manufacturers finally noticed people had been carving plastic erasers into stamps and decided to get in on the printing action). Should be slightly more amusing than gouging out linoleum - worth a try.
The 2-ply museum board's for christmas tree cornucopias - will be the outer layer, covered by fabric. That'll take care of my leftover stretch velvet scraps. The inner layers' to be fabric-covered slightly lighter layers of bristol. It just remains to get decorative trim, a few tassles, some cord for hanging and coordinating fabric for the inside.
Then I shall make a whole sheeeetload of them, keep between 8 and a dozen for my own tree, and sell extras next holiday season.
Also got a small, cheap but cute teflon-coated double-boiler that came with a few plastic chocolate molds. Melted the half-bag of chocolate chips I had, half-dipped some mini pretzel sticks.
Also made up a mini-batch of shortbread - stamping teeny little squares with an old ink stamp of mine (washed, natch).
...which I noticed just now didn't work (impression got baked out).
Well, least it still tastes the same.
