Creative Juices A flowing 10.24.08

For this week's post for Candid Carries Fx4, I decided to show you what I have been up to in my free time.  A couple of family members are renting some space and opening a yoga studio.  I am making crafty things to sell there.  Here are a few of the things I have been working on.

This is a handmade yoga inspired magnet.  I actually made about 200 last weekend.  Each one is unique.  If you ever try making these (pretty easy but can be very time consuming)  make sure to be in a well ventilated area or you are bound to have a rip roaring headache!  That glue is strong!  

These are eye pillows inspired by the chakras.  Each one is filled with a delicious mix of flax seed, lavender and chamomile flowers.  Very relaxing!  I love making these, especially mixing the flowers in.  They can also be lightly heated and it releases the aroma.

Another thing I have been working on are malas like these.  Malas are Tibetan prayer beads consisting of 108 beads.  They are used in meditation.  If you want more info on these, click here.  (it's my new buisnessey blog)
