I made a ton of these straws to use for cocktail hour at our wedding a long time ago, but just now got around to taking pictures of them. I bought both the straws and the origami paper at the Marukai 98 Cent Store. I carved the stamp with our initials from a speedball stamp block. I kind of think they might have looked better without the initials on them though. I totally stole this idea from multiple sources, my favorite being planetmithi's wedding flags. I think Grace from Design*Sponge made similar straws for her wedding too.
Four my wedding, my mom is going to be baking several small cakes and some cookies and dessert bar kind of things. We are going to try to make some cake stands by gluing thrifted components together with epoxy. I think these Franciscan Coronado plates and sherbet cups would make either a good two tiered server or two separate small cake stands. Both plates are chipped underneath so I don't think its any big loss.
I finished my first wedding table number. I bought a random wood picture frames from the thrift store and painted them with pain samples I got from home depot. The fish are water colored and outlined in ink. They are supposed to be surf perch, I forget which kind. Each table should have a different sea creature found in Oregon waters.
The succulent wreath I made two years ago had gotten really gross and scraggily looking, so I replanted it with new succulent cuttings. If it is still looking ok in July I may use it as part of my wedding decor.
These are the Christmas cards I made this year using my gocco. I'm starting to really like using it. This is the first time I tried two colors and it worked pretty well even though I didn't have the ink blocking foam stuff.
