Giant Paper Rose Flower. If you loved the beautiful DIY wedding this morning and Nata’s gorgeous paper flower bouquets, you are in luck as Nata is sharing how she crafted them with us!

Giant Paper Rose Flower

She was inspired by a template created by Morgan Levine on Martha Stewart (as was I in the flowers I created for this styled shoot). I just love that this basic idea has inspired different brides to create their own version of giant paper flowers – you might remember these equally awesome giant paper flowers from this wedding I shared last year. :) Thanks so much Nata for sharing how you created your giant pink paper rose + special thanks to Studio Castillero for the photos of the DIY + her wedding!

Here I’ve replicated the process for you in 7 steps on an extension.

Albino Animals

Author Andrew Collins was the first to photograph the bird which locals have named Jackie. Other fabulous albino animals include: According to Wikipedia there is no reported case of a true “albino” horse even though white horses have been referred to as albino in literature and some registries. All so-called “albino” horses have pigmented eyes, usually brown or blue, and thus are not true albinos.

Purple haze: What party drinks look like magnified 1,000 times - and this one is just a vodka and tonic. Updated: 18:17 GMT, 29 December 2011 An American company is selling posters of beers, mixers and cocktails in extreme close-up - magnified 1,000 times under a microscope. The drinks are dropped onto lab slides using a pipette, then crystallised in a process lasting three weeks. Sugars and acids in the drinks form the spectacular crystals - each drink looks different, and no two slides are the same.

I created them using small water balloons and tissue paper then I filled them with candy and toys and sealed them shut. The egg can hold a surprising amount of candy and the tissue paper seems delicate making for a delightfully heavy and yet fragile object, much like real egg.
