A Crafty Soiree #4

Yay, another week with over a 100 links of inspiration. I had so much fun visiting each of you! Plus I now have enough new things bookmarks to keep me busy through the holiday season and it's only our fouth soiree! For my three weekly features, this time around I'd like to highlight a few nature inspired projects:
You may have missed the Leaf Skeletons that The Other White House shared, Heather just hopped on yesterday. You'll want to check out how they turned real leaves into works of art and benefit from all her tips.
Chantal Vincent Art carved her own toadstool stamp and provides us all with a how to. I've always wanted to make my own stamps and I'd love to get a set of these as a gift they are so darn cute!
Saraccino turned a photograph she took of a grasshopper into a stencil. What a fun way to use your own photos for art projects.

• Add your links to the specific posts and not your blog's homepage. Please make sure you post is NEW to A Crafty Soiree, it can be from your archives but should not be something you linked up to our soiree before. We've had a few repeats and we'd like to avoid that.
