Eleanor Burns & Geese Widgets

ForestJane pointed me to Eleanor Burns' technique for making Flying Geese. She makes them with a regular ruler, but also with a specialty ruler. I like that she showed both options for cuting. Her version of flying geese is just as magical!

So, if you want to watch, grab a cup of coffee, breakfast, a snack, and settle in, her video runs over eleven minutes...

Magical Geese & Mystical Triangles

Magical Flying Geese
These are BEST magic ever! Who had the first thought to create this method? I am forever in your debt!

WIP-ish Wednesday

I can't say that I have anything new but am continuing to work on two important projects:
"Storm at Sea"
"New Timon"

The acorn I saw somewhere and drafted it to fit the leaf. All was made a long time ago using templates
