Thank you so much, 😘I guess you’re getting a jump on the season😉

I think that’s the strangest technique I’ve ever seen but they turned out amazing. That is gorgeous. I love the way the design just lays on the other putty knife. It’s amazing. I want to try it. It looks very messy but it turns out just gorgeous.

Thank you, Diane, it really means a lot because I know if somebody makes something look simple, it usually means they know what they’re doing. I know when I watch the Olympics I feel like I could do that lol no way no chance. But they make it look so easy. Everything takes a little practice to get it down. And for me, my thinking about things makes things more complex than they really are🤣

I like that varnishing technique too 🎉

Thank you Fran, 💙🩵and I think we all love others a little bit more than our own sometimes. But the ornament makes a huge difference and the technique it makes a huge difference. In my opinion, the Bloom transfer holds up (if you’re looking for cells), much better than a bloom straight on.

Gorgeous Louise! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Doreen, I actually learned today they’re called discs lol, and in my opinion, they are probably the easiest to work with and get a really pretty ornament affect. If you check out my previous video 275, and part, one of the series, I cover, blooming on a flat little wooden piece, and that’s by for the easiest, but not the most gratifying! So check that one out if you wanna look for another option as well. I will also have a Straight Bloom on a disk coming up as the next part of the series!

Well Tressie, that’s a problem bc white and red will always make pink. Hmmm. So I’m assuming you’re doing the bloom transfer. So is it in the dripping that problem really shows? Maybe do 1 side at a time by taping it half way down, transfer, let it dry, then flip it to do the other side, but not sure if taping fit the 2nd side wouldn’t take off the paint. How about one side of the bloom red/gold, the other side pearl and gold and hope the red/white stay away from each other during gravity. I’m still thinking….

Louise you are so clever thinking about using a drill. These are adorable. ❤❤❤. I love the back of each.

Thanks Carolyn❤️🧡, the drill was a game changer for me and when I was first doing these, I was all nervous about the packet, not liking the way they were coming out, but then I just relax and let it just flow, and it made it to an ornament by itself!!

Hi Louise, I really enjoy your videos they have so much good content. On these ornaments are you using your drill skewers that connect into your corks? Your very creative with making things work :).
