the ReFab Diaries

Ok ... another jewelry giveaway for you! I was inspired by all the leafy earrings I saw in Anthropologie's spring collection and transformed some dull silver leaves from thrifted pendant earrings (Detailed post here). Like the negative earrings and pendant I gave away last week, these are carefully made and one-of-a-kind. I'm giving them away because... well, it's a fun thing to do.  :)

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment (please leave your name and/or email address so I can identify and contact the winner!). Not in the US? No problem - happy to ship out of the country.

Thanks for looking!

When you have to be creative for a living (and always within deadlines), creativity = work. And the best creative results often get tossed out the window thanks to trademark issues and copyright laws.  When the creativity involves products for children, it can get weird sometimes.  I thought I should explain a little... just in case I appear to be losing my mind. 

Early last year, a beautiful ball lamp shade created using doilies and a balloon burst (!) onto the blogosphere and I've seen nothing that compares ... until now.  This creation, care of Inspirera Mera requires very little material and the spun-web effect is fresh and really modern. The tutorial is in both Swedish and English with lots of great pics. The one issue for US readers seems to be the "paper cord" used.  It looks a lot like paper raffia to me but we do get twisted paper cord in the US. Please leave a comment if you have a better idea ... or know a good US source!

Musings on the meaning of Home ... Vol 2.

Earlier this week I featured a bird feeder created from plastic (melamine) dinnerware - it was a hit! So I'm stick with a theme for the last day of this week. Not only does this little DIY include the dinnerware, but plastic pens too!  Complete tutorial at Somewhat Simple.
