Finishing Up

I placed a can of Off on the end of the bench along with a flyswater. I have a kitchen towel pictured above, however, I didn't use it in the final project.

I made both red and blue paper plates and glued these on each side of the table with miniature forks glued between them.

Oh, I almost forgot the desserts. I made a plate of brownies from chocolate brown fimo. I used my polymer clay pasta machine to roll out the brownies to about 1/8" thickness and then cut into squares. After baking them, I used amber Gallery Glass paint to add icing. Not shown is a chocolate cream pie. After pressing fimo into a pie pan, trimming and baking, I filled the pie with filling made of acrylic gel medium and brown paint. After allowing the pie to set, I topped it off with white bathroom caulk.

I bought a red and white cooler with a lid. I mixed miniature ice with Scenic water and placed it in the cooler. I added canned drinks and glued a few pieces of ice over the cans. It doesn't show the lid in the picture above. However, I did glue it along side the back of the cooler.

I purchased a bag of ice, an ice cream freezer, and a garbage can and glued them in the scene. Oh, let's not forget the brick wall. I printed a banner saying, "Smith Family Reunion 2008" and glued it on the brick wall.
