Flower #17
Coffee filters are nearing extinction. All of those big one-cup wonders and single serving espresso machines are eating up their habitat with dizzying speed. I rescued a box of forgotten filters in the dark depths of one of our kitchen cupboards this week and decided to give them a second chance at life by transforming them into this week's flower...

Flower #15
This week's flower is a bit of a late bloomer. My apologies.
One of the techniques I am most amazed by in the world of polymer clay is the concept of caning. You take odd shaped logs of clay, arrange them just so, roll them down to the appropriate size, and slice them open, not knowing for sure what the image inside will have turned out like. It's almost like a little sliver of Christmas.
Most canes are sliced into thick pieces for beading. I cut mine much thinner so I could use them as mosaic stones.
