what do you use to glue your pieces down inside the box?

[Brdlee]

@AtwaterMoon I use clear silicone, the stuff that comes in the caulking tubes at Home Depot.

It is always a treat watching your video's. You are one talented artist and I love all of the little trinkets you find for your projects. You should do a little video on your workshop and show us where all the magic takes place. LOL

@JWJNC Many thanks! I may do a video like that...maybe this summer, when I can spread out more easily on my back patio.

It's always a treat to see what you have been up to! Do you need to worry about the silicon drying out or does it hold up pretty well?

[Brdlee]

@CAP953 The silicon doesn't really "dry" ....it seems to "cure" and holds forever...it's good stuff once you learn to work with it!!

@vwilbeck Many thanks!!

Love it! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. It is always fun to see what goodies you come across and how you pull them all together. I really like your work. :)

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Looking forward to more tutorials, and seeing your art! Deb

@TandeB4 Thanks, glad you like the video...I don't really have a standard ratio for mixing my alcohol dye. I generally just fill up a baby food jar with about half way with 90% alcohol, and then very slowly pour in some of the liquid Rit dye until I get the right color, testing it along the way with a brush and some paper, etc. Keep the lid closed on the baby food jar when not using.
