I bet Mary Jane, above here could use her polymer clay, texture it and glue to the cork as well. I have also used styrofoam meat packaging, drawn on it with a ball point pen deeply and stamped with that. Never put it on a cork though. <br />You'll get your running around done, and everything will turn out the way it's to turn out. Don't stress. Take it one day at a time. {+:Kathryn Usterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183378550006243190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789369589532382597.post-38340562224604222472010-07-22T21:25:08.587-07:002010-07-22T21:25:08.587-07:00Wine corks do have so many uses.

I also use them just to make plain old circles on the backgrounds of my works. Lots of fun. THanks again for your comment on my blog. I am keeping my fingers crossed on the movie now. Seems the kids need work permits and our first rehearsal is tomorrow. A slight impossiblity for me to do all the running around to get that and get them into the city (2 hours away) for the rehearsals at 9:30 AM. THey are nuts!Kathy Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691314988396850056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789369589532382597.post-88718432114572852492010-07-22T18:56:31.318-07:002010-07-22T18:56:31.318-07:00Who could ask for more, MJ?!

In San FRancisco I saw street trees and where the soil had been exposed corks from wine bottles were planted, pushed into the soil like a mosaic. Pretty neat looking. {+:Kathryn Usterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183378550006243190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789369589532382597.post-36161625447837376062010-07-22T13:53:09.360-07:002010-07-22T13:53:09.360-07:00Great Kate!!
