Boutonniere Ideas

Nice autumn colors ~ love the fiddleheads most of all.

The orchids are nice, but I don't like the even numbers here. The equisetum/horsetail grass is my favorite.

I guess I like the colors. This is almost on the verge of being too busy, and I hate how it's pinned-on.

I like the overall shape of this one.

I'm not sure about my feelings on this one. I think it's kind of an interesting idea, and it would make a nice little keepsake...

DIY Birdseed Favor

I love everything about this! It's simple, cute, thoughtful and has a purpose.

Disposable Trencher

I thought these were pretty nifty, for something disposable. They're made out of palm leaves (and of course they're pricey). They satisfy my hexagon fetish, but the square ones are rather nice, too.

'Till Death Do Us Part

Wish I could have these salt and pepper shakers for a cake-topper...

Origami Decorations

I love the shape and colors of the flowers at the very top. The bead/gem in the center of each flower is a nice touch, and these don't look too complicated. Now I just need to find instructions...

Modular origami; I haven't made this kind yet, so I need to dig-up some instructions for these, also. They're made with circles of paper, so making a large one would be time consuming if cutting them out by hand. I've got a hole-punch thingy that makes 1 in. diameter circles, which would be faster, but smaller. I've also seen photos of this ornament made with nice origami paper.

These are simple lilies, but what I really like are the branches. I could easily do this if I harvested branches from my mom's curly willow tree.
