I don’t go a bundle on the current craze for having Gonks for all occasions, but when I saw the packs of 4 wooden Gonk keyrings from Crayola in Poundland (£1) I thought it wouldn’t hurt to have a little play, if only to make a little extra something to pop in my crackers this year.
I was mindful that felt pens would undoubtedly bleed into the wood if I wasn’t exceptionally careful, so decided to use Ranger Enamel Accents instead. This was a little more time consuming as I also decided to wait for each section I filled in to dry thoroughly before starting on a new one.
They turned out pretty OK
Once everything was done, I added a few extra details using a black, fine tipped, Sharpie pen and a few enamel nail art pens.
It’s hard to tell from the photos, but I also added a little ultra fine, translucent glitter to the gentlemen Gonks beards and sealed it in with a layer of Ranger Glossy Accents. As I said at the beginning, Gonks really aren’t my sort of thing, but are something a bit different to fiddle fart with and I am sure if Iris and Bertie find one in their cracker, it will go straight on their school book bag when they get home.

I think they're fun, and I like all the little details you added.
They look great, as do the easels from yesterday.
