Madigan made... glass gem marbles into 'art.' Imagine you are standing on a beach at the water's edge. You look down at a wave coming into shore. The blue water and foamy bubbles sparkle in the sun as the water comes toward you. The edges of the foam stretch along the sand but can't quite swallow up your toes. Then the wave gives up and slides gently back into the sea.

Lazy Daisy Pillowcases
I just bought some organic sheets for the girls’ beds, but wanted to add something sweet to the plain white. So I used a freezer paper stencil and some embroidery to make these cheerful daisies. I’ve been inspired a lot lately by Vera Neumann prints .

So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk. Well, it's September and...let's just say the closet is a work in progress. Some of the things that are taking up space in the closet are shirts that I never wear anymore. I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts: Check out these t-shirt scarves!

Woven Jelly Roll Rug
Burlap and ribbon seem to be a good pair -- don't ya think? I made some mini pillows to go in my little vintage wagon. I think they have a "pottery barnish" feel. So, wanna make some? You will need burlap, ribbon, and some other fabric (white cotton works). For the first rectangular version, I cut the burlap and fabric into 7x9 inch squares.
* THE COUNTRY CHIC COTTAGE (DIY, Home Decor, Crafts, Farmhouse): Burlap and Ribbon Pillows -- PBish(?)
Like some kind of modern green alchemy, the genius of this DIY design idea is in its extreme simplicity. It requires two objects that are easy to acquire – one you can buy for a few cents and the other you can find anywhere on the ground – and turns them into an everyday household object more unique and stylish than the mass-produced equivalent. There is nothing to explain and the non-profit design group Les Petit Reins wants no money for the idea that nor do they sell this as a product. Given how easy and obvious it is, has no real chance of becoming a copyright anyway. Just go down to the hardware store, find a metal screw hook and pick up a stick on your way home to make your own creative wooden coat hangar.

Now from the bottom up of your t-shirt, and using only the all white area, you are going to cut strips of 1 inch in width. Make sure you snip either end of your strips to create 2 strips each.
