I only have a little balcony, but it seems that even I can have may own garden – vertically ;-))

Clip Art Candles
That’s a great idea again: embellish candles in jars with printed clip arts.
It’s the same principle as for the faux quilt votives – and I find one as beautiful as the other ;-)

Every Week a Freeform Scrumble
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 :)

Corner Bookmark
In my entry Papierblätter-Kranz (Paper Leaves Wreath in English) Bloomsbury told us in a comment about the corner bookmark.
Thank you again!
Personally I find the corner bookmark from the picture too fanciful – and additionally it is much too bulky with this 3D decoration, I couldn’t close my book anymore
But the instruction is made so, that everybody can make their own bookmark in their own personal style. Great, isn’t it? ;-)

Rasterbator
Huuh, That’s fun: you take any picture, send it through the Rasterbator and get a PDF file with single pictures that you can join to form a big grid pattern picture of the original picture.
The grid pattern picture here was made from the picture of a sunflower on a single A4 page, but it could have been much bigger ;-)
Note:
I heard several times that the Rasterbator doesn’t work.
I don’t know what the problems were, but it works for me (perhaps they only made corrections ;-)):
I’m going to the Rasterbator, click on Rasterbate online and then on ‘If you are sure you have Flash Player 7, click here.’.
Then: off we go! :)
I don’t have Flash Player 7, but I’m much further, but it works anyhow ;-)
Another note: a live test showed: if it still doesn’t work, read/observe the error messages thoroughly, that’s helps sometimes ;-)

Sock Vases and Pantyhose Perfume Bottles
Do you still have some beautiful pantyhoses?
Don’t throw them away, better decorate some perfume bottles with them ;-))

Mosaic with Hand Painted Flowers
The beautiful flowers with the shaded petals are handpainted, in the right shape broken mosaic tiles.
Of course you can do the same with self-made mosaic tiles ;-)

Mini Key Ring Purses
Do you need a quick gift? Then simply knit such a cute mini key ring purse from some yarn rests from your stash.
I can also imagine it as a nice pin or necklace.

Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps
I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))
