I was planning a giveaway on my birthday in June, not even dreaming that I'd reach 95 followers.  I now will advance my giveaway.  Am already working on it and let you know as soon as it' finished.




Today I had fun making over beads and other things.  Took photos which will explain what I did and you are free to use any idea.
The bottle is much nicer looking  than it came out in this photo.  It is a 1:24" size.  The glass beads are from an inexpensive necklace.  I added white fimo parts and baked them together.  If you want to make teapots out of plastic beads, you have to bake the parts separately and then glue them to the plastic beads.
The doilies are cut from a place mat. They are rather large but can be cut smaller.
The vases are Chinese glass beads.  I baked them on little white fimo circles so that they'd stand upright.
