I was in the art supply store, when I passed the rhinestone display, and I couldn’t resist.  I bought five packets of 5mm clear rhinestones.  Then I made this guy:

nekkid

He was supposed to be red, but the stupid “exterior hardener” I added to the mixture bleached out the dye.  His transformation began.  Here he is at 175 rhinestones:

Here he is at 700 rhinestones:

disco pants!

I’ve bought 385 more rhinestones, but I don’t think I’ll need them all.  I don’t intend to cover the rectangular area in the back.  It’s a little surprising how completely cathartic and relaxing it is to glue tiny sparkly things on a tiny red (orange! grr!) man- except for the crotchy bits.
