we have some new people jumping in this week. yay! the more the merrier!
i made a ring to hold a fresh flower. i used a hydrangea. they are some of my favorite flowers. i built a ring with a piece of tubing acting as a vase. it has tiny pins that go through the flower's stem in 2 directions to hold it in place. obviously, this is more of a cocktail ring. but imagine the conversations it would start.
rachelle says This ring is seed pods from the clematis in our back yard and silver.I like metal too much and find that I always end up using it in the challenges.
i love that this can look space age-y or completely modern.
mike made a ring out of sterling silver and moss. love it!
lora hart went around her neighborhood to gather supplies. i am really impressed with the results.
Each of these components was just so lush that I had to use them both. The grass looks like the tail of a red fox. I petted it the whole way home. And the purple flowers are so velvety. I can totally see them adorning a fabulous Fin de Siecle hat on it's way to a garden party.
victoria from experimetal bent these twigs to make bracelets. i had totally forgotten that you could do that! fantastic!
I used leaves from my guava tree which are sturdy for the base of the cuff bracelet and blossoms from my neighbor's bougainvillea vine. A little hot glue to keep it all together. The bracelet is large and dramatic. I love the bright color of the flowers. The leaves and the flowers will actually dry nicely - the colors will not be quite so vibrant, but I think it will continue to be wearable. 
i'll post the next challenge tomorrow morning!

You are my angel!
thank you!
oh, these are fabulous, I am so impressed! Is it possible to join in occasonially? I would love to play, but I know that there is no way I would manage every week...
Now all you guys need is a Victorian Garden Party to wear these to. Nice stuff this time round.
I love seeing these all together. This was such a fun one! Welcome to Victoria and Nina! And Sophie, as far as I'm concerned I say the more the merrier! Some challenges are easier than others, so you may be surprised how often you'll want to join in.
ditto to everything lora said! :-)
Wow, they are ALL so amazing!!! I am definitely prodded to try and jump in. Are you just going to keep going indefinitely? Or take a summer break? This is making me all the more impatient for the new season of PR....
All of these are absolutely wonderful! I love seeing what everyone comes up with for these challenges! Maybe I'll jump in one of these weeks.
