Concerning unikatissima

Lemonade Award
One month ago Kokopelli nominated me already for the ‘Lemonade award for attitude and gratitude’.
Once again thank you so much, I’m really proud of it!

My entry has been delayed because I thought over and over again to whom I should give the award.
As result of my thinking I reached the decision that I can’t give it further as expected:
I’m presenting here every day instructions, many are published on blogs.
And I think that every single author who bothers to write a blog entry with his or her own instruction deserves the award already!
Thus I want to thank you all out there who provide tutorials just for the fun of it for your attitude (for the award) and for your generosity (for my part ;-))!

However I want to nominate a blog for the ‘Lemonade award for attitude and gratitude’, but not for the tutorials which are the subject of unikatissima, but because Leslie stands up for peace between Israel and Palestine with tireless dedication: The TikkunTree Project.
Perhaps some people like to participate in the project (guidelines of project) with a leaf or a dove.


Anniversary
Well, there’s something else to tell: ‘unikatissima’s compilation of tutorials’ is one year old today!
Last February I startet with the Cloche style hat and the Recycled Card Pillow Box.
It’s sheer lunacy!
;-)

Floating Paper

Once I found the instruction on how to preserve leaves with beeswax. This way you can make the leaves for float on water.
I really liked the idea, but it is winter now and I thought that you can do the same with paper, similar to the beeswax collage.
Then I thought further and found out, that paper floats without wax also (goes muuuuch swifter! ;-))).

On the first photo you see a glass bowl with a simple tea light, the paper snippets are from some advertising junk mail.

 

unikatissima Floating Paper For this photo I thought even further (which wasn’t easy ;-)) and spread on some confetti from the hole puncher.
I like it!

 

The only problem was the disposal when I wanted to throw away the confetti. I couldn’t fish them out without problems. Therefore I put a piece of tissue paper onto the gutter of my kitchen sink so that no confetti could pass through, and poured slowly the bowl on the tissue paper (if you pour too fast the tissue paper can slip). The water went through and the confetti assembled onto the tissue paper, so that I simply had to throw away the tissue paper with the confetti.
