Smile On Saturday: "Handle" theme
It's a carved wooden cane that my father had that has the words "Carib Reserve Dominica" written on the handle. It's a pretty cool cane with a woven covering on the shaft. I have no idea where or how my dad got it, as I don't believe that he was ever in the Caribbean island country of Dominica.
I did some quick research and found the following: "The Carib Reserve, now known as the Kalinago Territory, is a 3,700-acre district in Dominica set aside for the Kalinago people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island." The name change of the district occurred in 2015.

Our Daily Challenge: "Craftsmanship"
Thank you to all my fans who so kindly fav and comment and award my pics, wishing you all an amazing weekend filled with loads of love, laughter and fun ♥♥
I envy the birds high up in the trees
They live out their lives so purposefully
I envy the spiders, the squirrels and seeds
They all find their way automatically
But in this handmade heaven, I come alive
Bluebirds forever colour the sky
In this handmade heaven, we forget the time
'Cause birds of a feather fly together
I carry along a feel of unease
I want to belong like the birds in the trees
I sit on my own, look over the town
The skyscrapers glow like they'll never fall down
And I could no longer ignore
The ivy growing tall
This life don't suit me anymore
The writing's on the wall
(Bluebirds forever) Birds of a feather
(Bluebirds forever) Fly together
(Bluebirds forever) In this strange, strange weather
(Bluebirds forever) In this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven, in this handmade heaven

As I have bought new wool for felting, so was looking for ideas on the net, and I think I like this best. Found it on Lithuanian site www.smagu.visiems.lt
Hoping to manage to create something like that myself...
UPDATED on Oct 2008:
Now I even know that such gorgeous felting and other fantastic stuff could be found at Flickr account of this Lithuanian artists www.flickr.com/photos/kristinos_rankdarbiai/
Sempre fui apaixonada por corujas. Desde cedo.
Estas primeiras, de feltro, feitas por mim, vieram da gentileza da Ana, do BordadosdeAna, que me deu a dica de onde encontrar os moldes!
The mineral dress for Blythe. This was my favorite of this batch, made with super delicate gauze and hand dyed cotton and French lace. I only have 1 left of this dress.

...handmade by moi out of zippers!
There was one of the facebook things going around where you had to promise to make up to 5 handmade gifts in 2011 for the people who commented on your post. Well it's Dec 9 and I am finished! lol... This one is yours Charlie!
p.s. did I mention how much I dislike sewing!!!
oh and the measurements in case you want to make it?
1 x 8 inch length of zipper
6 x 4 inch lengths
6 x 3 inch lengths
The centre is made from the 8 inch length. Sew a running stitch along the length of it near the edge of the fabric and gather so it curls up.
The petals are made similarly with a little gather in the middle and then sewing them in a petal shape.
Then sew all the petals and the centre together trying not to stab yourself too many times.
I recommend red zippers as it hides the blood better!
