Seedy Sea
I think of summer as an ode to nature's finest, with gardens, picnic blankets, and farmer's markets overflowing with the crunchiest vegetables, the sweetest fruits, and the freshest herbs. There is nothing quite like a midsummer feast! Macedonia-based crafter and teacher Maya Kuzman, a.k.a sewella, takes the celebration of this bounty one step further in this week's How-Tuesday post, with tips on how to turn the seeds of your favorite melon into an adornment to last the whole year.

Bengami, creates amazing sculptural works that take the shape of bonsai and other flora and fauna. Come on by to gleam some origami expertise and fold a tropical fish, or join us online for a demo.
