Wear a Stole

Did you know that there a many different ways to wear a stole?
I found this point interesting because my Lace Knitter’s Advent Calendar of this year can easily be knitted broad enough to get a stole.
The Advent calendars of 2010 and 2011, too, by the way ;-)

If you only knit it in the width of a scarf, you may want to look at the instructions in the scarf tying guides (1 and 2) or at scarf wrapping ;-)

Lace Bowl

I’ve already presented the Lace Polymer Clay Bowl.
The lace bowl works similarly, they only use efaplast, an air-drying modelling clay. That makes it still easier :)
I didn’t find out whether this air-drying modelling clay is food safe, I don’t suppose so.

In the comments there are also nice inspirations:
– make an ornament for fir green this way,
– press lace from her wedding gown and
– leaves in the modelling clay.

Hm, both stamped play dough ornaments come to my mind, so it should also work with play dough ;-)

I find these recycled gift tags great!

As well the round as the rectangular elements can depending on the season easily be cut from old Birthday, Christmas, Easter, Spring or whatever cards, or from matching gift wrap papers that are glued to white paper for reinforcement.

In place of the gift wrap papers you should also can use pages from old books, beautiful pictures from (travel) brochures or self-made or self-stamped paper.
And photos.

And, yes, you should also be able to make a coupon Advent calendar! :)

And then you can also embroider, doodle, paint, cut to paper flowers the elements.
And incorporate small beads or yarn threads.

Whew, my imagination rans riot again ;-))

The wire and yarn mobile is surely nice in every season, however I can imagine the letters also very well as gift tags (e.g. for Christmas) or the single elements as numbers for the Advent calendar.

Leaf Bowl

Hello Lucky Leaf Bowl

I find this leaf bowl quite wonderful!
It’s made from plastic leaves but actually it should be possible to make it from real autumn leaves?!
It just won’t be so beautiful for such a long time.

Thank you, Waltraut, for the link to your own leaf bowl from real leaves!
It is most beautiful! :)
