This used to say, "Musings of a wannabe retiree/full time scrapbooker/ sewer/quilter/world traveller". However, I was forced to retire earlier than expected when I became too ill to work in May, 2016. So now I guess I'm going to remain a wannabe world traveller. Some day when we win the lottery I guess.

Air Dry Modeling Compound ~ aka Paper Clay
Martha Stewart Silicone molds and paper clay make fast and fun embellishments. I thought I'd try the 4 piece kit of leaves, fern, butterflies and flowers.
You twist the molds and carefully release the pieces and leave 24 hours to dry/cure. Some paint brushes and simple watercolour paints and you have some 3d embellishments for your layouts. This is only one coat of paint. I used inks for the leaves. The fern leaf is very fragile and breaks easily.

Using Everyday Things Around the Home
Saw this on Quilting Daily's newsletter and, of course, I had to try it. You take a whole head of celery and slice about an inch off the end, slicing as evenly as you can. Ink the celery and stamp a rose!
