I had a chance to get out my crochet hook and work up a baby sweater to give as a gift to young friends of mine.
This unique and quirky necklace was made with colors of autumn. There are 3 beaded strands of red, yellow and black. The yellow beads include some gorgeous lampwork beads. In the middle of the 3 strands is a silverplated leaf charm. The necklace is finished off with 3 silverplated chains that have been braided. On one side the chains dangle loosely to the side.
There is no clasp, you just slip the necklace over your head.

“Facts are what is needed. Cold hard facts!” Nothing describes Jac Jac better. It is what he lives by. Jac Jac enjoys reading, but he has no time for stories. He reads from complicated books larger than his head and prides himself with his ability to recite the periodic table backwards.
One of many masks I saw during my time in Venice, this mask was photographed in a quirky and handcrafted mask shop not that far from the centre of Venice.
Try to paint using overlapping strokes. Note how one edge of the shadow is done first. A little dry time before adding the overlapping strokes helps keep the color from blening too much, enhancing the aged look.
I have come up with a gift tag that also includes a gift ornament. I hand dyed the tags with walnut ink and attached the tatted tree to the tag. It can be removed to put on a Christmas tree or other decorating.
I can't wait to get this new birdhouse painted and hung. Having someone personally make a birdhouse for me just cause he saw me taking pictures of birds is very heartwarming.
Who knows what cool birds I can photograph in the coming months?
Nice piece of works from one of the students in the school where I work.
I just edited the background because that was a dull grey brick wall.

This summer, I was fiddlin' around and designed a pinhole camera. I sent the plans home to my dad, who's quite the woodworker, and he put this thing together over a few weeks. I ordered the pinhole from a company that laser cuts them - it's 0.25mm in diameter. I'll have to find my original calculations, but the f-stop for this thing is like....f/165 or f/180 or f/300 something crazy. It can take 6x9, 645, or 6x6 format images by inserting shims into the back of the camera. I took a test-shot of a couple of rulers from a known distance and calculated that the field of view is 95 degrees horizontal x 75 degrees vertical.
This is built entirely out of maple. He put black pigment on the inside to absorb light and kill any minor light leaks. My dad toleranced this thing down to the 10th of a mm, it's built quite solidly. The film viewing window is sealed with a red 52mm lens filter.
What an awesome gift.....THANKS DAD.
Pictures coming soon.....they are hanging above my bathtub (which reeks of d-76 and stop-bath right now)
Little bear with the colour of light lilacs. It is all embroidered with crocheted chain and beads (this took me a lot of time)

Tea Treemint Scrub is scented with peppermint and tea tree essential oils. I also added oatmeal scrubby bits and an oatmeal "flower" to the top. - www.LadyOfLuxury.com
My trusted tools... and umh...yes, my pliers are black and white zebra striped. My husband´s idea of a funny joke. :D
He gave them to me last Christmas and I thought he would die laughing when I opened the present. They are not pretty, but they do the job.
Vintage-inspired cards framed rather funkily!
