I'm always hand signing my dolls and sewing projects and have often thought it would be much better to just attach a label. Well, now I have no excuse as Alma Stoller has a wonderful tutorial on her Alma Stoller blog showing you how to make your own fabric labels. I'd better get to making mine.

Shrinky Dinks Tutorial By June Crawford of A Creative Dream

Do you remember shrinky dinks? If you do then you'll be happy to know that June Crawford has a wonderful tutorial on her A Creative Dream blog showing you how to make a piece of jewelry out of a shrinky dink. Have fun!

Shrinky Dinks

Here's what June had to say about her tutorial: Shrinky Dinks? I get the strangest looks when I mention them. Way back in the dark ages, back when I was a girl...you could buy something called Shrinky Dinks, usually they were pre-printed with something, you colored them in and then baked them (had to be really careful baking over those open flames in the cave)...they shrank and voila...you have this hard plastic thing you could hang from a necklace or something...at least if you remembered to poke a hole in them BEFORE you baked them.

A few years ago I found plain sheets of Shrinky Dinks...and, of course, had to buy them. After all, now that I have an electric oven instead of the cave fires, it should be even easier... So...the other day while rummaging on the crafty shelf, I ran across the package of them and thought...."you know...those doodles I am so addicted to doing would make a great piece of jewelry..." and thus...

ECHR Articles in Upcoming Issue of HRLR

Two articles for the upcoming edition of the Human Rights Law Review have been put online on its site as a preview:

* Janneke Gerards, 'The Discrimination Grounds of Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights'

The Court’s case law on the applicability of the prohibition of discrimination of Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights has always been ambivalent. From the 1970s onwards, there are two parallel lines of case law, one allowing complaints about almost all differences in treatment, regardless of their grounds, and another allowing only complaints about discrimination based on personal status or personal characteristics. Although the Court tried to bring its case law together in the cases of Carson and Clift, an analysis of subsequent cases makes clear that its approach is still confused. It is argued here that the inconsistencies in the definition of grounds of discrimination reflect a fundamental ambivalence as to the theoretical principles underlying Article 14. The article sets out two different rationales for non-discrimination law that may provide a sound basis for a certain approach towards the definition of grounds of discrimination. Both rationales have important but radically opposed consequences for the way Article 14 is applied as well as for the position of the Court. Although the Court may not want to do so, and although both conceptions are defensible, it will need to make a choice in order to guarantee a transparent and predictable non-discrimination case law.

* Ronan McCrea, 'The Ban on the Veil and European Law'

This article argues that the fate of veil bans under European law is uncertain. It shows that European commitments to free speech and freedom of religion cannot accommodate an absolute ban justified solely on grounds of the offensiveness of the veil. However, a ban that applies to public face-covering in general (rather than a ban that only targets the veil), that relates to the specific (though admittedly broad) context of social life and that provides some exceptions allowing the veil to be worn in specific religious or expressive contexts, has a reasonable chance of being upheld by European courts despite the significant infringement of personal autonomy it would involve.

Foxgloves In Silk Ribbon Embroidery Tutorial By Carol Daisy of Embroideries From Daisy's Garden

I LOVE just about any kind of silk ribbon embroidery flower and was was thrilled to see that Carol Daisy had a wonderful tutorial on her Silk Ribbon Embroidery blog showing you how to make foxgloves in silk ribbon embroidery. Enjoy making your flowers.

Foxgloves In Silk Ribbon Embroidery

Here's what Carol had to say about her tutorial:Foxgloves - A Beautiful Majestic Flower. I have used photos taken at the Carnival for inspiration, as where I live in the sub tropics they are never seen.

Carol's Bio: My life is at the stage that I can indulge in my interests of Embroidery and Crafts. Ribbons,beads,threads, laces and trims all have a special place here in my studio.

My childhood was spent on the family dairy farm in Toowoomba, Queensland. When I was about 12 years old, my Grandmother (nicknamed Daisy – hence the name Daisy’s Garden) introduced me to the joys of needlework. I am so thankful to her for giving me a skill that I could enjoy and build upon for life. After the chores were done, whenever I had some spare time, I would sit quietly on the front porch and stitch away. I remember these times so fondly. When I retired, and finally had some time to myself, I had the desire to do embroidery again. I didn’t get far with the fancy work tablecloth however, once I discovered Silk Ribbon Embroidery, I became addicted!

Cosmos In Silk Ribbon Embroidery By Carol Daisy of Embroideries From Daisy's Garden

I LOVE just about any kind of silk ribbon embroidery flower and was was thrilled to see that Carol Daisy had a wonderful tutorial on her Silk Ribbon Embroidery blog showing you how to make cosmos in silk ribbon embroidery. Enjoy making your flowers.

Here's what Carol had to say about her tutorial: Cosmos Flowers are stitched using Dinky Dyes Argyle 7 mm. Silk Ribbon - I must apologise for the delay in getting this tutorial online. My left index finger had a slight mishap with a sharp knive, thus removing a piece of skin. Needless to say you probably all have tried to work with a sore finger and bandaid, but for me does not give the best results.

Sunflowers and Cosmos are two flowers which come to mind for this effect. When you are replicating a flower with a raised centre, in the case of Cosmos, Dahlias, Daisies etc. the pistils in the centre of the flower are quite prominent.
