Miniature Marble Stamps

The people have soo great ideas: the miniature marble stamps are nothing else than transparent glass pebbles, flat on one side where she glued on some cut craft foam: fast and effective.
And beautiful ;-)

You can easily glue on little filled and empty squares and then stamp patterns from crochet or cross stitch embroidery charts ;-)

And if you don’t like to stamp then you can make a beautiful ring from your glass pebble ;-)

I presented the origamic architecture pencil holder before, here something for people who don’t like it so fiddly: a pen holder made from a plaster-filled crisp bag.

I like the idea :))

I presented already the necklace bust and the mini dress-form jewelry stand, now here another just as well idea: a plaster board with cast in doll arms.

It get’s more and more difficult to decide where to put your jewelry, doesn’t it? ;-))

Repeated Pattern Eraser Stamp

Lately two ideas crashed in my head and I like the result ;-)
One was the eraser stamp, the other the repeating patterns.
I marked the size of my eraser on paper, designed there a pattern following the technique of the repeating patterns, carved it from my eraser (it was mirrored but that’s no problem with this pattern) and begun stamping.
It is great to make repeating patterns on cards or the like, but when I’ll need to stamp a bigger area I’LL prefer to use the rolling pin print (here and here).

Ok, ok, today is Saint Nicholas, but here the show is already over, the boot wasn’t only filled but emptied already and life goes on.

And to let it go on neatly (at least concerning sewing) the bobbin holders from spiral binders can help ;-))
So in case that you still have to sew something for Christmas everything should go more easily now :)

I wrote already an entry about rolling pin prints, even so I find this instruction interesting, too.
As she says: you can use it easily to design your own gift wrap and it won’t take long until you possibly need some gift wrap ;-))

Foam Tray Plaster Casting

The tutorial about plaster casting in a simple foam tray is meant again as kids craft.
But I have some buttons and stamps with interesting surfaces – I should be able to use them to make some cute plaster pendants from, shouldn’t I?

I’m looking for this foam trays for a certain time, but I can’t get them here.
Seems as if I have to resort to play dough or even to carving them myself ;-)
