There, aren’t the little ones real personalities? ;-)
Well, perhaps I will put some of these little ones on my balcony.
If I haven’t anything better to do with my socks ;-))

I already wrote about drying flowers in the microwave and about flower pounding, here at how to press flowers, leaves and herbs you can find general and comprehensive tips, there are some that I want to try out ;-)
And what to do then with the pressed flowers and leaves?
That is what I did:
On the picture you see a little ‘piece of art’ that was meant originally as a card but is much to time-consuming for this: it is a Clematis petal pressed in an old phone book, embellished with self-made decorative paper and hand embroidery.
Here I’ve pressed a leek leaf in an old phone book, too, and embroidered it.
I don’t know what kind of leaf this is, but I combined it with self-made decorative paper, self-made ‘papyrus’ and hand embroidery.

Isn’t the balloon flower polymer clay cane beautiful?
It can be made so fine because you work it big and then reduce it.
And if the balloon flower isn’t for you, try some other polymer clay canes ;-)

To tell the truth: I only like woods if they are green
Brown is boring!

With this one I’ve been particularly successful.

The older among us can remember more or less well the Macrame owls from the past – wasn’t it time to fetch them back?

The fabric stone necklace is another fabric necklace, but this time with a pendant that gives a little weight.
Anyway, I like it :)

Do you need a nice rock for the garden?
Make it yourself: from a cardboard box, cardboard, styrofoam, chicken wire and concrete.
Very simple ;-))

Isn’t this birch scarf cute?
Because she wants to sell those items there’s of course no instruction and I wouldn’t be able to finish it anyhow, but I like to look at it ;-)
