good morning...

getting ready to prime, paint and glitter...(finally!)...it's easier to do with the base mounted on a small handle...the pictures tell the story...my maker's label will cover the hole made by the screw and the two small holes made by the nails with the heads cut off...

i usually don't mount a painting handle to the body of a project...but if i do...i use a dab of hot glue...it sets quickly and will come loose with a gentle twist and tug...small pieces, like the spire, will be attached to a handle with hot glue...

my very best regards...

good afternoon...

thanks to the hot florida sun, the two primer coats of white flat wall paint are dry...i'll dry a few more hours before applying the finished colors...

my very best regards...

Howard - thanks for the ongoing project photos, they encourage folks who aren't sure they can from "A" to "B" on their own. . . . .

good morning...

almost ready for mica flakes and glitter...going to add a few snow details to walk and around edge of light blue base...

looks a little bland right now...but two green trees and multi-color stained glass windows will make a big difference...

my very best regards...

howard...here in hot, humid and sunny north florida...

Howard, have you been suffering from glitter withdrawal?

yes, as a matter of fact i have!...but just took a "hit" about an hour ago...felt good, too!...

all kidding aside...i did glitter the chruch this morning...found my copies of your stained glass windows a few moments ago...

perhaps i'll get a chance to finish the project this afternoon...

my very best regards...

good afternoon...the little church is finished...i used my paper version of paul's windows rather than having them printed on overhead transparency material...

my very best regards...

Howard this very sweet little church! I loved seeing it unfold before our very eyes, picture by picture!!

Finished product is beautiful. As always. Thanks for sharing, Howard,
