I didn't take a better picture of the combs, but basically I found these cheap and cute tiny hair combs. I glued stars (shiny white, and silver) and fake gems to them, playing around with the different patters. It was cheap and fun!

non-pictured meditation eye bags- In my yoga class our teacher would give us these eye sacks that were long bags filled with rice to block out light. I made a bunch with dry rice. I sewed long sacks using really pretty shimmery fabric. I filled the bags with dry rice, and lavender and mugwort, then I closed them. They smell great, and fit the eyes perfectly.

-- From a great article in 'interweave knits' where the mechanics of making the perfect glove were explained. I used Bernat so soft yarn in a charcoal gray and purple.

--Mittens using the same pattern, but larger as they are for a friend. I used the same charcoal yarn, and then this 'rave' eyelash yarn.

--I am really proud of this. AC Moore sells cheap jewelry. While hunting through their bracelets we found these gaudy portrait bracelets where the pictures were mostly 'madonna and child' sort of stuff. The pictures though were pretty easy to take out. So I bought two bracelets, and some beads and took apart the whole thing. I found images on-line of goddesses, resized them, and printed them. I then laminated the images, switched them with what was on the bracelet and re-beaded them with spirals and these great purple beads. The small silver-tone beads are sun and moon beads.
