Rope Top Loofah Flip Flops

Glycerin Loofah Soap

I love this soap! OK, OK, I know I love them all but this one really is special.  What a great way to use loofah in soap.  I find this soap is much more skin friendly then using the normal ring loofah in a round mold.  This loofah soap actually has a section of loofah inside giving you the most skin friendly loofah on the outside with the core (really course) on the inside.  I think the Southwest Bear impression really gives this soap character!  Just click on the picture to take you to Kim’s Soap & Such where you can order this great soap. You can choose between the following scents:

Hi All, I love these beautiful seed cards! My sister and I were in Marshall Michigan at a pottery shop names Nippers.  I saw these cards that her son had made and it was love at first site!   Here is a  description of how to make your own.

Rose Petal Seed Paper

Items you will need:

3 or 4 sheets of your favorite color of card stock (use different shades for more interesting color in the final product)
A piece of off white card stock, A package of herb or flower seeds, A hole punch,Fine twine or ribbon 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, An inkpad in your favorite color, A garden related rubber stamp
A blender, A mesh screen,

How to make the seed card:

Tear the colored card stock into 1″ x 1″ strips, and place them in your blender. Add enough water to cover the strips.

Add the cornstarch to the mixture and blend on high until it’s well mixed. When your done mixing you can add some extras if you’d like to add some interest to the card, you can add some dried leaves, seeds, or pressed flowers to the mixture.

Pour the pulp into a strainer, and very gently squeeze the mixture to get out the excess water. Mix in your seeds gently. Then pat the mixture onto a screen in the desired shape. Pat the top with a paper towel to get more moisture out, and place in front of a fan, or heat duct to dry. Setting the screen up on a cooling rack will help circulate the air under the card, and speed the drying process even more. Drying the mixture as quickly as possible is the key to preserving the seeds.

When your seed card base is dry, cut a top card in the desired shape out of the off white card stock. You can also tear the card stock to give it a rougher edge. Glue the cut out card stock to the top of the seed card.
