For the Real Girlie Girls

I actually really think this is a great little craft, appropriate either in a jewelry program, or a general arts and crafts program.

Decorate silk flowers with rhinestones and beads, and then attach to a barrette, for a stylish hair flower.

I love to shop at Walmart, where I always find super cheap silk(ish?) flowers.

Project directions can be found here.

Cornflower Sculpture

I don't watch a lot of episodic TV. Therefore conversations about Desperate Housewives or Grey's Anatomy completely go over my head. I do however enjoy HGTV. Recently on Landscape Smarts, they redid this backyard. What I loved the most about this was the metal sculpture in the foreground. It's made with a flexible copper (the petals) and a toilet bowl thingy (the round part). I think it's somehow attached to a dowel, but the best part is that it twirls in the wind.

It's so beautiful, in fact this photo doesn't do it justice. My only issue is that the website didn't provide specific instructions, and frankly, The Camp Art Lady isn't all that clever without a "recipe". So guess what...I e-mailed the artist who designed it, and he responded! So I'm awaiting his instructions...hooray!

This is the artist...

Okay, I'm pretty sure we are NOT going to do this project, but oh my, it is incredible.
