My pace of working is so slow -- like a snail!

I have the framework for my zoo photos just about finished. 
I think I need to roll  on some colour for a background on some of the boards on the inside, maybe on parts of the outside as well.


The material on the outside is part of a caftan that I rarely wore. Pretty colour. I decided to use it because I thought the pattern would be a good background for the animals' photos.


On the inside I've glued paper in black, white and grey.

I find myself using several different glues on these projects including strong PVA and Bindex. 

The little treasure chest is also progressing. I am using little brads to fix pieces of thin brass to the black card I am using on the outside of the box. Once its all glued together I will glue fake jewels onto the heads of the brads. Should be quite gaudy when its finished.

Not sure what glue to use for the 'jewels' I will have to experiment.
