Fun with Rocks

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. Pablo Picasso


The Butterfly is so perfect that it almost looks like a stamp or those scratch on tatoos.

10 Most-Pinned Container Gardening Ideas

Sitting pretty

A long planter chock-full of flowers and foliage substitutes for a window box on a porch railing. ‘Goldilocks’ creeping Jenny, ‘Burlesque’ pigeon berry, Madagascar dragon tree, calibrochoa and coleus create a lush mix of upright and trailing plants.

Alcohol Ink Metal Washers for Jewelry

After I found some great beads on the internet and spent hundreds of dollars I asked myself what would make my jewelry special... Well, I looked into making glass beads. One has to use a torch and that isn't really me! I should not be aloud near anything that can cause damage!

Then I found these washers and Alcohol Ink that you can buy either on line or at your local craft store. Well, here is what they look like and how to make them.

Watch out - I have found Jewelry Making

You won't believe it but anyone can do this - making jewelry. One day I was bored - I had no one to crochet for - no one at all. So.... I was playing around Pinterest and found this...

Beadalon Memory Wire Silver Bracelet 1oz
It's Memory Wire! All you do is add beads! Of course - You will have to invest some money. The required materials include a memory wire (bracelet size), heavy duty wire cutters (memory wire shears), round-nose pliers and several beads. First, determine how thick you want your bracelet to be and cut the wire according to that size. Now, layout the design of your beads; make a loop on one side of the wire and add the beads on. Once finished, make another loop at the end of the wire. 


Look what you can make:


As you can see you can use different sizes of beads. They also have metal beads to add interest to your design. If you don't like the design, you can start over!!! you can add charms and tassels. one can make it casual to elegant.

to whimsical!
Use different materials



You can make it as big as you like or single!


Watch out it will become addictive! I can't pass a Michaels and all of my computer bookmarks are directed to bead suppliers!

Until we meet again,

Claudia
