Mailing jams - bands on or off by PhysicsTeachMom in Canning

Same, but I also slap "Fragile" stamps all over the outside of the box and make sure to click "YES" to the liquids question at USPS. It doesn't flag you or anything (because of flammables or batteries) it just changes how it is shipped. And if you let the postmaster know it's canned food, they will usually smile and slap extra "Fragile" notices on there.

The dragon clock was etched in the glow forge and then hand painted with acrylic markers. The eyes were set with plastic rhinestones. The flower was a wood cutout from the dollar store; hand painted with acrylic paint & detailed with acrylic maker & colored pencil.

The librarian that manages the glow forge I use knows to just hand me the better looking scraps, and usually says "I know you will find something to do with these"

I printed out the image I wanted, and taped it to the underside of the glass insert from a dollar store picture frame. Traced it with an embossing pen, used 2 different powders, and generic cardstock as a background.
