I made my pot of honey out of white cardstock. I used my brayer and brown ink.(Thanks again Anne!). I then cut out an oval shape and cut across the top and bottom. I layed my pot on a piece of foil and let hot glue dribble over the top. I found out a long time ago that I could color hot glue by rubbing chalks over the top. I colored this glue golden brown to make it look like HONEY. The only problem that I have had was that it takes the shine away. I fixed that this time by using clear nail polish over the top. I did the same thing with the honey on his hand. I used a ruler to make his bandana and picnic blanket. I have a pine branch that came with a Christmas set that I bought 16 years ago. I rarely use it, but it came in handy today. I stamped it over and over and over to make my trees. I drew in branches and trunk with my prisma colored pencil. I paper pieced a little cardinal. I had to draw some ants, because what's a picnic without ants? I drew a bee, I hope it doesn't get to mad at Barney because he is eating honey. I also drew Loulabella.
