Can you grow veggies in tufa containers?
Here you see some of this summer's basil and squash growing happily and healthily in some large and deep hypertufa pots.
Give those roots room to grow!
My major project at the moment is a Tower of Lettuce, using the techniques in Hypertufa 601. Totems aren't just for bird feeders. This Tower of Lettuce will be stacked with planters for growing lettuce the bunnies can't get at. Here's the mini version. The "tower" version will have four planters stacked.
"...& Unique Jewelry Too!..."
inspired by hypertufa texture
Using recycled fabric, foil, foam, & plastic, design quick & easy pieces that you can make today & wear tomorrow — or devote some serious time to developing your own miniature works of art. It's your choice!

And never stops at all.

"I have purchased all of your hypertufa eBooks so far and would love to see more.
I love this stuff. It's my tension reliever...when I start mixing and forming it takes my mind off a lot of worries or helps me to forget about a long hard day at work."

I began these experiments nearly 20 years ago, and finally—finally!—the 185 page earrings eBook is ready to be downloaded and put to use by
folks who enjoy this kind of thing.
Are you one of them?
If you are, you will learn how to recycle to create earrings in any size, shape, texture, or color using fabric, foam, adhesives, computer art, and little bits and pieces of fabric, wire, stones, shells, beads and whatever else is handy.
Over these many years I've come to love these techniques and materials and the lightweight, unique, and inexpensive-to-make jewelry we can create with them.
