Happy Labour Day fellow crafters! Lately I have been spending my spare time burning polyester ribbon. Why you ask? Well, I finally had all of the supplies to attempt some burnt roses and well, like Lays potato chips, you can't make just one.
Pretty special yes? I only have a photo of one because I have been waiting for better light for a couple days now. We have had on and off showers all weekend. But you wait, you'll be seeing oodles of them soon enough! I love how they look, how easy they were to make and how when you make one, it inspires you to make another one and another one and yet another one. Super awesome fun times.
There is a learning curve, I think I spent about a half hour melting polyester before I finally got the hang of it. Worth it in the end though. Because now I can make lots of hair pieces, necklaces and brooches. really, the possibilities are endless!
Speaking of endless possibilities, here are a couple fabulous links from last week!
This brilliant number was created by Lori of

Melissa of
Those Northern Skies has a fabulous link party called My Creative High. Last week for her creative high she posted about this whimsical art made from recyclables. I love it. It makes me want to run out and buy some Krylon for plastic and then raid a few recycle boxes.

These two pouches full of goodness were made by Michelle of
Falafel & The Bee. She made the pouches as gifts for her teenage niece. I have two words for the fabric and they are bad-ass! fabulous use of a Halloween tablecloth! Visit her
