CCB - I really enjoyed this project. I would like to do this over and over with different themes! I went a little crazy with Jenn's. My sister was around when I was making them and she kept saying that the burger one was hilarious, which is NOT what I was going for! So, I made some alterations, but I guess we'll see.

I'm sorry my theme has turned out to be difficult. I was torn between Zen and Steampunk. Maybe steampunk would have been easier. See, we need to do another round!

Yay!!!! I will keep my eye out for your package.

I am up for another round of projects. Interested to hear what ahk's ideas are. (With details lol.)

No worries on having a challenging theme. I think I finally got myself to good place with yours!

But I wanted to talk with CCB about it first-- with details.

Steampunk! I still have pieces from ami's project eons ago where she sent the same things to all of us and some of them would have worked for that. Maybe next time!

ORRRR

Maybe themes can be mashed, randomly. Steampunk Zen or Mermaid Gardens or Hamburger Sugar Skulls for example.

I would be up for another box/shrine round BUT I want bigger boxes dammit. There's so much I tried to do but it literally would not fit right with the minis.

My main issue is finding balance between too simple and too complicated and I find that much harder the smaller the pieces.

Because I have giant chubby fingers and I'm tired of gluing them together.

Ok, now I NEED a Steampunk Zen project! I still have pieces from ami's project, too. I loved that one!

Mine are also mailed with the 5 dollars.

It would be totally evil to package each one up so the wrangler could not see them. It would be awful.

It would be and I'm hoping you did not do that, missy!!! LOL

I'm panicking that mine are too simple.

nycfem · 06-18-2015, 07:51 PM

I packaged mine up so the wrangler could not see them, but not because I didn't want the wrangler to see them- it's just that they were so tiny and fragile-y put together that I felt I really had to anchor them in packaging. So Sorry, CCB, I would have actually preferred you see them. I think that's one of the most fun things about wrangling (getting to see all the projects).

candy_coated_bitch · 06-18-2015, 07:54 PM

It is the most fun part! It is! Oh well, I'll live.

Did you take pictures beforehand? If so, you could just send them to her.

I've pretty much done the same thing. One thing I'm really glad about is that CCB's shrine only has one mailing to survive. That one has a couple of really delicate pieces in/on it.

nycfem · 06-19-2015, 05:50 AM

I didn't take photos for CCB but that would have been the perfect way to handle it! Next time!

candy_coated_bitch · 06-19-2015, 06:07 PM

UPDATE: Today I received shrines in the mail from purepisces and nycfem. Also, nycfem I received your separate envelope with the money. Thank you.

So here's where we stand:

ahk - received
nycfem - received and they are packaged adorably
purepisces - received and they are gorgeous!
Gemme - en route
amiyesiam - en route

I will keep you guys posted!

Mine is scheduled to reach you Monday.

Like nyc, I wrapped those suckers good for the best safekeeping possible BUT I did include some pics I printed out. Sorry my printer's almost out of color, so they are pretty pale but you can see what they looked like before I wrapped them up and if yours is damaged, let me know. I'll figure something else out.

Yay! After reading everyone's posts, I realized I did not wrap them for safe keeping. I hope the heat didn't melt the glue holding everything together!

I took pictures of mine, if anyone wants to see them later. Ccb- I'll send you pictures of the ones I receive once I get them unwrapped.

I can't wait!!!

As much as my voyeur self would love to see every shrine, I totally understand the need for careful packaging. Thanks for taking pic, though. I look forward to that and will keep my eye out for your package Monday.

Keeping my fingers crossed for my delicate little shrine!

Yours all appear safe and intact, just to alleviate any fears about their safe arrival.

Gemme, your shrines arrived which means they are ALL in and accounted for. Yay!

And just so you know the delicate bit on mine survived and I also love it!

I will get these back out in the mail Thursday or Friday at the latest.

candy_coated_bitch · 06-23-2015, 09:26 PM

Just wanted to let you know shrines went out today. Cause I'm lightning quick like that. ahk yours is due to arrive on Friday, the rest should get yours Thursday.

Thank you each and everyone of you for making this project incredible. Everyone stepped up to the plate big time and I think everyone is going to be so happy with what they receive. I love all of my shrines and appreciate everyone's creativity and love.

Please post and let us know when your shrines have arrived.

ahk · 06-25-2015, 11:14 AM

I received mine today (Thursday).

I love them all. But I have questions-- whose is whose?

nycfem- I love yours, thank you for the skulls and fun!!
purepisces- the colours are amazing and the layering work! Thank you.
ccb-that paper looks very familiar!

So-- I don't know amiyesiam or gemmes, so spill it-- who did what? PS. They both are awesome.

In the future, can everyone sign their work-- it makes it a lot easier to remember in future who did what.
