Beautifying The Windows -- Sorta
Lowercase B and I have been working on a few window decorations while Dad has been away in Europe. I don't really know what the items are called since we only have them in Czech and I, obviously, don't speak Czech.
Regardless, they're fun for kids and adults (if you're the crafty-type like myself) and, though they look messy, they really aren't. You just have to make sure you're very delicate with them since they can tear very easily if you're rough.
Lowercase B demonstrating how it's done!
It's simple enough, you outline with the black (It's thicker than the rest, so I recommend working with black as an outline). You're supposed to wait 2 hours for it to dry, but come-on! Kids are not that patient and neither was I. We waited MAYBE 10 minutes, haha.
After you're done with the black, you fill it in, much like my rainbow lion! It starts off opaque (Lion's mane) and dries to a beautiful translucent (Bear).
Sadly, after I finished these beauties shown above, I found that the film I was painting on wasn't porous enough to allow me to peel off my creations. The lion and the flower ripped apart... Le-siiigh. Lowercase B's, however, worked out perfectly. So, don't use the sheets for overheads, use the clear sleeves to cover paper for reports, that stuff works WAY better.
They suggest you wait 24 hours for everything to dry but we waited until we thought they looked dry enough... (impatience, I'm telling you!)

One of my other creations that looks not-too-shabby, but could be better. It was a fun project to work on. I wish I knew the english variant of this, but I'm also too lazy to try and look it up myself.
