DIY Picture Tiles - You Will Never Buy a Photo Frame Again. Lately I’ve been having this huge urge to decorate the house.
This is big news. I do not decorate. Beaded Lace Medallion. Lace goes with so many things, and making lace from tiny beads allows it to be more sturctural – an easy choice for jewelry.
This project doesn’t make use of any particular beading stitch, it’s mostly just a counting project. Once you understand how it goes together it would be very easy to invent different patterns and sizes. You can also stop at any point in making this version if you want a smaller piece of lace. Supplies: – seed beads – these are size 15 but size 11 would work just as well – beading needle – I use size 10 – OO Nymo or similar beading thread – sharp scissors Row 1 Thread the needle with the longest doubled strand of thread that you’re comfortable working with. Stitch through those beads again to make a loop. Row 2 Pick up a bead and stitch through the next bead in row 1. Continue adding a bead between each of the beads in row 1 until you read the end of the row. It will look like this when all 6 beads are in place.

Thing in a Jar. Thing in a Jar 7 inches by 4 inches, mason jar Pictured above is the Thing in a Jar that's usually sitting in my office at work.
The coolest thing about the Thing is that everyone responds to seeing it by asking questions. Where did I find it? Is it an internal organ? The Thing in a Jar is made out of Sculpey, acryllic paint and rubber cement. This is the third Thing in a Jar I've made. Here's a conceptual sketch I made of this Thing before I sculpted it. 1.5 by 2.5 inches, ballpoint pen Usually when I make a Thing in a Jar, I try to keep the shape ambiguous enough so that the viewer cannot really pin down exactly what they're looking at. The glass jar acts as a physical barrier, preventing the viewer from directly accessing its contents. I think this is much cooler than, for example, a painting, which basically has this big implicit sign hanging off of it that says, "I am just a painting of an object, not the object itself.
Viewers of The Thing in a Jar do not have this preconception. DIY paper boat clutch (Moschino-like) It’s official.
