What a great idea: simply use the metal clamp of a clothespin as fastener for beautiful beads!

I find this beads tassel most beautiful!
I’d like it as eye catcher of a necklace, but actually I can imagine it as nice as jewelry, e.g. as earring, brooch or on a bracelet.

Watercolour Votives

Happiness is Homemade Watercolour Votives

I once painted paper with watercolours and made it translucent with oil (without taking pictures), but I’d never have thought of making watercolour votives from.
They are high on my list now :)
