I presented already how I’m making paper beads, somebody shows here most beautiful other (also paper) beads, the ones on the picture are made from woodchip wallpaper.
Aren’t they beautiful?

Did you always wanted to have some costly pearl jewelry? A real long necklace of pearls or a luxuriant pin of pearls?
No problem, simply make your own pearls.
You don’t even have to swallow some grains of sand as mollusks have to do ;-))

I find the whole bracelet most beautiful and the crackled polymer clay bead great as eye-catcher :)

The grande dame of freeform has a blog where she presents every week a freeform scrumble, viz. a piece worked in freeform that can form a whole item together with others.
Wow!
I liked the scrumble on the picture best :)

I find this idea so great: a quick sketch and then simply stitch it ;-))
Amazing! ;-))

Doesn’t the tealight look most beautiful?
She‘s been cautious and inserted an electric tealight, if you’re very cautious, you can possibly even use a real one.
By the way, if you want to cut such a tealight yourself, my online cone calculator could possibly be helpful ;-))

Actually it’s rather easy to make this necklace: you crochet with big beads und wrap afterwards interesting yarns around.
If you like you can add some extra fringes.
I like the necklace very much indeed :)
I don’t really like door wreaths, but even though I won’t make it and hang it on my door I find the paper leaves wreath somehow beautiful :)
It was made originally for Christmas, but I think that it could as well be a spring or summer wreath with green paper or an autumn wreath with paper in brown, red and yellow.
And with papers like those for the place mat it looks presumably great the whole year long :))

As said before I looked recently for pattern generators and found also the random knitting chart generator.
I find this idea so great, somewhen I must knit this pattern ;-)
For the lace pattern on the picture I checked knit, purl, knit two together and yarn over, I didn’t check mirrored.
By the way I learned about this through the Ravelry group ‘Random Pattern Generators’, they found my generators also great ;-))
