Ideas

• Beaded breast cancer awareness ribbon. http://www.flash.net/~mjtafoya/projects/ribbon/index.htm is a red/white/blue ribbon - could use this as a basis and just do it in all pink.
• http://www.whimbeads.com/classroom/freeform.html is gorgeous but I couldn't wear it - I'd have to make it to give away or sell. Good way to practise peyote stitch and embellishments like picots and small netting ruffles.
• http://www.whimbeads.com/classroom/netting.html Three bead netting.
• vest top - replace straps with ribbon, sew heartshape on front in beads or ribbon
• papiermache bowls like these: http://www.blaauwberg.net/tourisminfo/artist/jo-anne.asp

Items I'm not sure how to use

• two transparent plastic star-shaped boxes made to hang from things

You could use them as moulds for bathbomb type things (or soap, or candles...) http://www.megan.scatterbrain.org/notmartha/tomake/bathbombs.html

T.

• a smallish piece of blue and white striped handmade felt
• lots of ribbon - maybe ribbon corsages?

idea for evening bags

spiral rope chain beading for strap. sew bag out of fabric of some sort, using co-ordinating bias tape to hide interior seams and possibly bind edges, eliminating both need for lining and visible hemming. decorate bag with beads, sequins, embroidery, etc. Would take a while but be very nice when done.

notecards

white good-quality card-stock, cut to size. get small sheet of origami paper, in bright colour. Stick to card. get small piece of white paper, slightly smaller than origami sheet, which has design/stencil/collage/whatever on it. Attach. include envelopes.

• tiny tulip collage
• felt snowman
• bead star
• angel collage
• crown stencil
• silver-foil-writing

More soon.
