Sunflower Under Stars

While the layout for the kaleidoscope butterfly stars is being sorted out, I decided to have some play time. And made six more of the wonderfully tiny kaleidoscope stars with the itty-bitty star points. I’ve decided, I think, how I’ll … Continue reading

Baby X’s and O’s

A finish! Well, almost a finish. The label still has to be added, but other than that Baby X’s and O’s is a finish. I made it some time ago with the Inklingo 7.5″ Spool or Japanese X collection. Now hold … Continue reading

The Story of One Butterfly Kaleidoscope Star

There’s a bit of a story to this one. First, the before shot. Now the after photo and the story. There was a planned power outage in our building earlier this week. We knew about it last week. They were … Continue reading

What’s the big star? The butterfly kaleidoscope stars. Once each one is surrounded by the six batik diamonds, it’s a 4″ hexagon. So far I’ve printed enough of the 2″ diamonds to surround about a dozen of the kaleidoscope stars … Continue reading
