"Happenstance" Grows Better

What the birds drop from the birdseed grows better than  what was intentionally put in the grow.  This is the biggest and prettiest sunflower I've ever had.              

Rolled Denim Flower Frame and Some Stars

I was inspired by rolled denim flowers from discarded jeans to embellish this small frame that holds a black and white picture of my sister.  It kind of has a sculptural look.  All you do is cut strips of denim and roll them after spreading glue down the strip. Then, just glue them randomly to the frame.  I left the sides undone because you can't see them and the bottom, so it could still stand up.                                                  
                                                                                       
                                                                                       
                                                                                     
                                                                                           
                                                                                       
And here are some stars I made from thin cardboard.  I found a star shape online and scored it after cutting it out to make it kind of 3 dimensional. I spray painted it silver. The small one on the bottom had these little tear drop designs that I cut out. I glued a small piece of wire on the back to hang them up.  These are very simple to do, not requiring a lot of instruction.  Have a little fun with these and see what you can come up with.

A day of Quiet

My son and I got away for some peace and quiet at a local state park, Madison Blue Springs, Madison, FL.  He and I had the whole place to ourselves. Enjoy the pictures.
