| How-To: 1-2-3 Glitter Clothespin Photo Hangers Today I got out the glitter for the next step in my Day of the Dead shrine. My altar is hung with garlands, and I wanted to attach photos of my loved ones to them. I spent last night selecting my favorite pictures, and I love seeing them hanging up. If you are working on a shrine as well, I hope you will share images. Also be sure to submit them as entries to the Crafty Chica Day of the Dead Challenge for a chance to win some great prizes!

Google SketchUp Sculptures Unsolicited Fabrications is a series of sculptures by Stephanie Syjuco. She recreated others' SketchUp creations in easy-to-find materials. I love how they look half real and half modeled, since the colors and patterns closely match those of the SketchUp models. Although Syjuco appropriated these designs, she credited these "collaborators" in the installation in Dublin.
