…compilation of tutorials
Recently I told that there were times when I didn’t know how to make good photos.
Now I learned that curious ground squirrels must be taken in regard when taking photos with delayed-action shutter release ;-)))

Ususally I’m not interested in stiffening crochet items because I don’t make ornaments.
But when I saw the lamp I knew that I was lost ;-))
I haven’t made much research until now, but via the Google search and the Google image search I have found at least ‘About Stiffeners’ where there are a lot of recipes and instructions and even tips on how to reshape an item where necessary.
Let’s see what I will make…
;-)

As said before I’m a city kid and don’t know anything about plants, but I found those seed tapes interesting anyhow: It seems that you only have to put them in the soil and then something happens.
Or something like that ;-))
I’d like to hear if you’ve made your own experiences!

Recently I read the article ‘Can you recognize talent?’ and was kind of shocked to put it mildly: I often walk looking at the ground and being totally absorbed by what I’m thinking at the moment.
And I never realized what I may miss this way!
Yet it is so important to me as a creative to be always open-minded to get many new, wonderful, interesting (and sometimes impracticable ;-)) ideas.
Therefore I decided to look closer in the future, to listen better and if necessary even smell closer (I thought of flowers! ;-))
By the way you can see on the photo a – as I think – very inventive way to park your bicycle at a street festival: s/he simply let it dangle by its treadle from the roof of a bus stop ;-)

A nice reader send me the link to the cardborad stampede.
She told me that she has made a horse already following the tutorial and that you can even let gallop the horse over your desk when you use a photo holder in place of let them go up the wall.
Many thanks again, I find the horses really great!

A friend showed me the Puzzlemaker and now I’m using its online generators from time to time to relax(!).
But it’s also fun to make birthday cards from them for friends who like puzzling ;-)

Somehow I really love painted shoes and so I was thrilled about the tutorial for self customized sneakers.
As much fun as spraypainted shoes ;-)
I think that I won’t do this because first I have too much shoes already and second they somehow don’t match my style, but who knows? ;-)

I love scarves but they never look the way I want them to.
Now I found the scarf tying guide which is a great help to me.
I must admit: Literally it is no craft instruction but concerning me: Illiterally it is, because I always broke my fingers on scarf tying ;-))

From today on there are two improvements at unikatissima:
Anyway I wish you a lot of fun with the old and the new tutorials :))
Do you know the story, too? You have a very good instruction or a great idea and work hard and – wham! – everything goes awry.
craftfail features an amusing compilation of such ‘experiences’.
Actually I could have shown easily an own photo, but 1. I’m not yet ready to share my failures and 2. I found the dog soo cute! ;-)
P.S.: I don’t even have a category for failures ;-)
