Suncatcher

Mondrian Inspired Suncatcher

Supplies:
Black Frame Mat
Tissue paper
Glue Stick
Scissors
Card Stock
ribbon

Cut a piece of card stock the same size as the mat. Cut out the center the same size as the mat. Cut strips of tissue paper enough to fill the center of the mat. Use your glue stick to rub glue on the back on the mat. Place strips of colored tissue paper on the back of the mat. Place one strip horizontal and then the next one vertical until you have covered the center of the mat. Cut a piece of ribbon. Glue to the back of the mat. Now gule the card stock to the back of the mat to give it a finished look. When it is dry you can hang your suncatcher up with a suction cup hanger on the window.

Jewelry - Vintage Pendant

This pendant was made with my Grandmother's jewelry. It was an earring that I made into a pendant.

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray   1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water   Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base."   Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
