Chattering Robins: I scream, you scream

Hi, Jess here today. My mum worked in an ice cream parlor for over 20 years. Growing up we spent a lot of time there. I love ice cream. Since it's so hot here(in Arizona) I decided to create a little something to cool off.

Doesn't it look good enough to eat?! So here's how I made my ice cream treat.

Cut a styrofoam ball in half and covered it with modeling paste. I just smeared it on smoothly on the top and lumpy around the edges to make it appear as if it had been scooped. While the paste dried I worked on some other projects(pop in on the third Sunday of the month to see one of them!).

Once the paste was dried I used acrylic paint to make them look delicious. While the paint dried I fashioned my cone.

I used my Brown Glitter Cardstock to form a cone. I cut a large circle and then cut a big wedge shape out of the circle. I rolled it up and glued it with my hot glue gun. Now time to put my scoops on the cone.

Totally delicious, but I like sprinkles and a cherry on top. Don't you?

I used Bubblegum Archival Seeds, Honey Passion Archival Seeds, Tender Teal Archival Seeds, and

Pistachio Archival Seeds to make my sprinkles. I painted a bead red using acrylic paint for the cherry. The stem is made from red twine that I tied in a knot and rolled around in some glue to make it super stiff. Once the stem was dry I fed it through the hole in the bead and glued it to the scoop.
