Sea shells can be used to make a variety of craft ideas and ornaments and they`re quite interesting because sea shells do come from the group of animals that carry shells on their backs. These mollusks as they are called leave behind a rich supply of mantle which are made from calcium carbonate. Shell collecting is an ardent pastime by many beach combers who love to indulge in recreating, designing, sculpting and painting these left behind exoskeletons that litter the seashore. Many names have been assigned to these shells as they`re known around the world as banded tulip, the periwinkle, baby's ears and imperial Venus among many others. Over 80 sea shells can be identified from around the world as there are over 50,000 of every kind; all with their own scientific names. For those who are unable to collect their own sea shells, worry not, you can buy them over the internet. As you must know, the collecting, crafting, selling and buying of sea shells is a big business.
Always be careful when picking up large sea shells on the shore with your bare hands even though many shell lovers still engage in the habit. Sea shells must be clean thoroughly before they can be used. Live sea shells or shells that still have live tissues in them are not always allowed to be collected by some states and more importantly, they might carry health threats; if you can collect them, then bury them in the ground so that insects and bacteria will clean out the remaining tissue. Other methods of cleaning are freezing, boiling and even placing them in your microwave.
We invite you to cast a glance at the 21 mollusks that have been ingeniously crafted for commercial and home use.

Wood carving involves the chiseling away of wood to create the desired figure by the carver and is one of the world oldest crafts. Before carving a piece of wood, the craftsman has to determine where the grain is in order to learn the weak and strong areas of apparatus. Some of the best wood for carving is walnut with its superb dark color, basswood which is a lighter shade of brown, maple, pine and mahogany. Some of the best tools come in sets with a variety of chisels and knives each having their own purpose, whether its shaving, cutting or rounding edges. Carving can be done using an electrical equipment, like a chainsaw, drill and shaver. All contribute to creating the work of art you will notice in this article along with passion and skill to bring about the most finely sculpted wood art.
A key to creating a great carve out work or art is to work with contrast, by going cutting and chiseling against the grain; which means that a wood carver has to be someone with a certain built and some measure of strength to place force when and where it is needed. Tutorials for wood carving are available online and books can be found with in depth knowledge of this interesting skill at length.
If you are considering learning this craft, understand that there are four ways to go about it, because then you will know what are the appropriate tools you will need and where it would be best for a beginner to start. You will have to learn about chip carving: a special knife used to remove unwanted pieces of wood. Then there is a technique called carving in the round which basically speaks for itself. This is mainly used to give curvature to the wood such as the breast of a bird. Relief carvings are usually done on a flat sheet of wood but is made with three angles or dimensions. Lastly, there is whittling, which is the most common form of carving that stems even further back in history than the other three techniques. This type of carving may seem a bit amateurish because when it is completed, the viewer can see the work the knife left in the wood.
Surely, this is one craft idea that must be undertaken by someone who has an innate ability to work with wood and in the carpentry arena. Consider these 20 wood carving ideas for a rustic home décor.

Mosaic art is one of the oldest type of crafts that is still very popular today, with seashells, eggshells and pebbles of all sizes being used to keep this skill alive. This form of handiwork can be fabricated using just about any kind of material even glass, with just the assembling of small pieces to fabricate a beautiful artifact. Whether it's glass or shells that are being used, each piece is usually painted, glued together and set to form the desired image. Some enthusiasts may choose to work with tiles.When getting into this pastime, draw out onto a sheet of paper or canvas the picture you would like to create. Ensure you have a tile cutter, gout, thin set, gloves and googles to protect your eyes. Another material that can be used for this type of montage is ceramics.w In ancient times mural artifacts were a popular scene in synagogues and other important structures in the eastern part of the world. Consider using wood that is easy to work with like ply to build an indoor patchwork picture as a first attempt to learn the relevant skill. Try to involve other members of the family to help or include friends until confidence is gained to create a collage on your own being mindful that there are two types of plaid, indoor and outdoor. Try to experiment with different types of apparatus to discover which material is easier to work with whether it's seashells or cardboard. It would be best to set aside a room or outside area specifically for this kind of hobby especially if you're working with broken glass or ceramics.
The easiest way to hone this art is to remember, once you can tile and draw you can do mosaic art. Consider these 20 eggshell mosaic art to inspire the artist in you.

Marc Jacobs, an American fashion designer, once said, “makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory,” and we think this is absolutely true!
While we believe that true confidence lies within ourselves, makeup can provide that much-needed boost. And Luminess has stepped in to help achieve just that. They are offering a wide set of products along with an Airbrush makeup system.
So, if you have been craving to achieve that perfect professional finish, the airbrush stylus will help you achieve it. And do not worry if you have never used one before.
The brand has thought it through, providing 2 kits. One is for beginners, while the other is for experts who have prior experience with airbrushing.
Furthermore, we will introduce you to the kit and the brand offerings before moving on to its types. So, what are you waiting for? Dive in!
The Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup Kit
We want to put our best selves forward every time we step out of the house. And one thing that builds self-confidence is the perfect makeup kit. It will not only help in making one’s face flawless but will also provide you with more confidence every time you walk down the streets.
The Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup Kit makes use of an airbrush stylus to apply its different products, leaving you with a smooth and professional finish every time.
No products found.
What Is Inside The Kit?
This tool kit includes a number of components that will together provide your face with excellent coverage. In this section, we will discuss them in detail.
Instructional Video
The kit will always come with an instructional video that will provide necessary tips and tricks to make the application process easy. This will not only introduce you to the products but will also provide information on how to use each one of them. We will recommend watching it before airbrushing your face.
Airbrush Stylus
This is one of the major parts of the system, and the stylus is actually a gun that will help you with spraying. It comes with a sliding trigger that will help you adjust and change the pressure of the makeup.
If you pull it all the way back, you will be getting a pressurized spray that will spread over a small but focused area. Bring the trigger midway for a more balanced spread, and you should be able to handle it well.
Compressor
For the airbrush to function, you will need an airbrush compressor. This will supply air and ensure that it works well in spreading the makeup.
It is also very simple to operate; you will only need to press one button to start and stop. Once you have switched it on, attach it to the compressor, and it should power up immediately.
Moisturizer
Before you apply any form of makeup, it is important to use a good moisturizer. Now Luminess offers water and mineral-based makeup, which works wonderfully on dry skin too. But it is always better to moisturize before applying the foundation.
Foundation
Now we know there are multiple shades when it comes to skin tones, and you would generally be looking for something that resonates with the best. That’s why the company provides 12 different shades for the varied skin tones out there, including fair, warm, deep, tan, and medium shades, to name a few. They will blend well and work on most skin types easily.
Also, you will not need a concealer while using this foundation. This will help in hiding sun damage, freckles, and acne marks easily. It will also hide fine lines giving you complete and flawless coverage.
Plus, the formula is oil-free and will not clog your pores. Hence, you can wear it for long without worrying about rashes and acne.
Blush
You also get a blush that is airbrush-specific, and it will work like standard blushes. Remember to use this sparingly to prevent tinting your face too much. Now there are 8 shades of blush, so you can select one depending on your skin tone. Choose among fair, medium, tan, deep and warm shades, and the blush will complement your shade perfectly.
Hose
This company has been very concerned about the user's convenience; hence, it has designed the hose to be pretty long. The length is perfect, so you will not need the compressor very close to you.
Highlighter
Last but not least, this pack includes a highlighter that works well in accentuating the cheekbones. It will make certain areas of your face lighter and enhance your look.
Advantages Of Using The Kit
Stylus and compressor is easy to work with
Carry case included for better portability
Provides a natural look if applied well
Lasts for a long time
Instructions provided in a DVD
Known to be sweat-proof
What Could Have Been Better?
This kit might take some time to get used to, and you will have to apply it carefully in the beginning. If you over-apply, the face might look cakey, spoiling the entire look. We will recommend that you practice at home a few times.
Since this is a different way of applying makeup, it might take some time to be a pro. But once you learn, you can get the perfect natural look easily.
Also, ensure that you clean the stylus once in a while. Otherwise, it can clog and prevent fluid from coming out. For unclogging it, you will require water and a thin brush. In case that is not available, you can use one of your fingers too.
The 2 Luminess Air Systems
2 different types of brush systems are offered to the customers, and they are based on different levels of expertise. We will discuss both of them below, and you should read on to know all about them.
A True Legend: The LUMINESS Legend airbrush device is...
More Coverage, 10x Less Makeup: Airbrush application...
The Luminess Air Legend System is designed for those who are trying out airbrushes for the first time. This will introduce you to the world of airbrush makeup, and you can try applying different types of foundations, highlighters, blushes, and primers with this.
What’s more, there are color options too, and you can get a set in your favorite color. That said, there are 4 unique colors to choose among, including:
Black and rose gold
White and black

Hot pink
Pick your favorite and get this makeup set to match the dressing table in your room. You will be getting a bottle of blush, skin brightening glow cream, primer or moisturizer, and 2 bottles of foundation in the kit.
Professional Results at Home: The LUMINESS Air Icon Pro...
10X Less Makeup, 3X More Coverage: Airbrush application...
While the Legend system was for beginners, the Luminess Air Pro System is for those who have already experimented with airbrushing and are seeking a professional option. While some parts of both sets are the same, there are some differences.
Firstly there is a difference in the kind of compressor used, and this one offers more modes. While the Legend system has a compressor that can be operated with an on/off button, this one uses a dial. This dial can be turned to regulate the speed of the compressor, and you can select among 3 modes.
Its speed can be adjusted on the basis of pressure per square inch of the airbrush gun. This allows for more versatile use, and you can get more creative with this.
Plus, this set includes a bottle of bronzer, which is not given with the previous one.
Benefits Of Using Luminess Air Systems
These systems come with a number of benefits, and we have listed them down in this section.
Discounts
The brand keeps offering discounts on its products and you might chance upon offers which would reduce the price by 50 percent or more. Keep a watch over their website, or you could also sign up for a newsletter from them.
Now we know that the price of using this is high and you will have to keep paying as you use it. But the offers can bring down the price to a large extent,
Plus, the makeup essentials, including foundations, primers, blush, are available in online stores. Finding and purchasing them is not going to be difficult, and we were truly happy about that.
User-friendliness
This is a very compact system, and you can easily carry it around with you. For starters, a carrying case is provided, and you can fit in all the items inside.
Secondly, the compressor is very small, and it can fit on tabletops, shelves, or in front of a mirror. You can even use it in vanity vans with extremely limited space.
No Skin Reactions
The makeup contains water and mineral-based formula, which works very well for the skin. It would not react and will not clog pores. In fact, it is free of any alcohol and hence it does not irritate the skin at all..
Color Matching System
Are you confused about how to find that perfect shade? Do not worry at all because Luminess has a solution for you. The brand has a color matching system, and you will just have to upload a picture of your face in natural lighting.
Based on your skin tone, one of the company’s makeup experts will get back to you about the shade that will fit best. Then you can proceed to buy products of the same one.
Final Words On Luminess Silk
If you are someone who needs to wear makeup throughout the day, then the Luminess Air Silk Makeup System is a great choice. It does not clog up pores and will not irritate the skin, making it perfect for sensitive skin. Also, if you are prone to sweating, do not worry about this makeup melting away.
It will stay in place throughout the day and will provide you with proper coverage. Now, this is typically not made for large makeup projects, but it works perfectly well for daily wear. You can begin using it every day for the office or going out.

Copper furnishings can bring a metallic look to your home decor whether you're snapping together pipes or spray painting glassware. Copper can carry an industrial appearance or if you prefer a more chic complementary accent to your furniture. The use of copper stems back to many centuries but it seems to be making lately a comeback in many various forms. Copper can be used in designing kitchen counter tops as well as a great back splash. Redesign your bathroom with a touch of copper or the hand rails on your staircase to trade a flat decor for a sheen look. A great place to add some trace of copper would be near the fireplace, as it would highlight the bright reddish-orange color of the metal, while also reflecting of the warmth of the fireplace.Use copper made items to brighten any dull area of your home or add a lift to a dull backdrop. Copper can be used in both modern and traditional spaces but works best when placed near wood or in a rustic decor. Depending on how you design your room, it can be made to stand out or it could be used quite subtly in a contemporary home or office setting.
On one hand copper can be displayed in bronze style in the form of a bracelet, baking pan or wall fireplace and on the other it can take on more polished tones in items such as copper stools in a white kitchen decor. By the looks of things it seems as though copper is soon the be the new silver, with such fast growing trends in home design and folks always wanting that extra special something to bring warmth and gleam to their home during the winter season.

An outdoor splash can be enclosed by a wooden surface or a concrete one and take on a geometric, kidney or circular shape. Having a relatively miniature basin in the back of you house would make the long hot summer days much shorter and more appreciative. Beautify the area around your tub with flowers and shrubbery or paint the inside in a bright color to stand out even when the sun goes down. A swimming area on your property can be the perfect place to set out a table, chairs and even a BBQ pit for any pool party events. Consider having your own customized pool with a water fountain and an own unique shape and design, while still leaving enough room for a beautiful landscape or walkway. Besides getting you outdoor bubble bath insured, make sure that your pool is always covered unless you intend to pay someone to clean it regularly.
Be mindful that whether you decide to construct an in-ground or fiber-glass plunge bath, a budget must be set to determine the cost of what you desire and how much you're willing to spend. Decide whether you will have a heating system in order to enjoy your new water basin to its fullest or just savor it for the summertime.

Once you learn the skill and have mastered it, soon you will be wine glass painting all year round - maybe even doing it as a business. While it may look easy, it is a very delicate and time-consuming skill to master. However, if you have a love for it, the right paint for glass, and a strong desire to learn, here are a few steps you can take to do it yourself.
Choose the glass you would like to work with. Ensure it is well washed, cleaned off with mentholated spirit, and would not break easily under pressure.
Cover the top of the glass with adhesive tape.
Sketch out on a sheet of paper the painting you desire to be on the glass.
Now sketch your drawing on the glass.
When choosing your paint you have two choices - enamels or acrylics.
Have your paint, glass, and brush ready on hand in a clean and dry area for you to work. Make sure you have a plate, board, or palette of some kind to spread your paint on and mix before applying to the glass.
Do not use water to clean your brush in between painting. Paper towels will do just fine.
The last place you will paint is the base of the glass then allow it to dry for one hour.
Put your oven at 350 degrees and bake your glass so that the paint will fully cure in about 3 weeks. Make sure you time your glass for half an hour immediately after placing it in the cold, lighted oven.
Handle your glass with care and do not allow it to soak in water.
Along with these steps here are 20 Painted Wine Glass ideas to try this season.
We highly encourage you to use tools with safety gear at all times and read the instructions manual thoroughly before proceeding.
Transforming a garage into a living space can be a challenging endeavor similar to renovating a basement. The process requires proper preparation, thorough cleaning, and careful organization. It is advisable to begin by vacuuming the area, using effective detergents, and, if necessary, employing a dehumidifier.
Consult with a licensed electrician to assess and execute any necessary rewiring to accommodate new lighting fixtures and electrical outlets. Choose paint colors that enhance the garage's ambiance, such as peach or turquoise, and replace any worn-out ceiling elements to further improve the room's appearance.
Optimizing the available space is crucial to ensure the new living area does not feel cramped. The costs associated with remodeling a garage vary based on its intended purpose. Converting it into a kitchen typically involves purchasing additional appliances, while creating a sitting room may only require adding furniture, plants, and a table. A garage converted into a bedroom might warrant the installation of a bathroom for convenience, and transforming the space into a dining room could potentially lead to higher expenses in pursuit of impressing friends and family. Regardless of the room's function, it is essential to stay within a planned budget to ensure a successful remodeling project.

Nothing is more refreshing to the senses than to walk into an immaculately clean, beautifully aromatic bathroom that is also dressed in its own color scheme. The traditional bathroom would possibly have a curtain, shower area and maybe a tub for relaxing on those long exhausting evenings. Consider designing a powder room into a shabby chic ambiance keeping in mind that this does not always have to mean an all white decor. The real purpose of course would be to give the room a somewhat antique appearance; this is basically the meaning of shabby chic. An old dresser of course will do, up against a neutral painted wall background. If possible add an oil lamp to the mix and a rug on the floor that has been obviously too worn out to place anywhere else in the house. An old fashioned washroom can be constructed with wooden floors and antiquated chandeliers for a more retro look.
This type of decor may not always be appreciated by many folks reason being people wanting to see newness, brightness and modernized items in their homes. A somewhat distressed form of interior designing must be caught on by someone with an eye, a passion for the outmoded. An outed shower and toilet area can be furnished with other unwanted or used pieces of furniture in your home. A chair or table in a fairly dilapidated condition can be used to store towels, toiletries and other well needed miscellaneous, yet relevant objects. Provided this is not possible, invest in a few antique or shabby chic items that will create the setting you desire. Try using dull and neutral colors if white is not your thing, or consider a washed out lace curtain to place around the plunge bath. Get more information on this topic online to help you decide which of our 18 shabby chic bathroom ideas will be suitable for your home.

Christmas trees are that one decoration that never gets old or out of style despite being in use for centuries. The timeless presence can be nestled in any interior design effortlessly along with combinations of old fairy lights, ribbons and Christmas ornaments of all kinds that invite the magical holiday allure that we all pursue. The Christmas trees outdoors can make the setting interesting as well whether they`re planted or potted, emphasizing the festive feel around a home in no time.
Whether you choose to decorate your tree with classical combinations such as gold and red or silver and blue or simply decide to let it bare, raw animated by light only the piece will beautifully emphasize any setting, simply ensure its presence in your setting.
Red and Gold Christmas Trees
Classic set up - red and gold
Ribbons of gold and red along a combination of Christmas globes and poinsettias of the same color are a successful combination. It may look dense, flamboyant compared to other Christmas trees yet the combination of red and gold produces the Christmas feel that can fit any home. Red and gold simply fits well with the cold, wintery Christmas theme.
Christmas arrives, a home is filled with festive decorations from the first step on the porch all the way up to the attic and while one might make his life purpose to avoid decorating with gold and red, most interior designs will surely have red and gold, both very significant presences in the Christmas season. Red and gold pieces naturally complement one`s Christmas tree and the natural deep green hue that we all adore. The dainty fairy lights add a beautiful background and greatly enhance the lovely Christmas tree.
Small elements
Red and gold can let anything stand out perfectly on other solid colors, even on a combination of the same red and gold background. The setting bellow meets yellow and maroon in background yet it stand out thanks to the small elements that become great focal in the beautiful green mass represented by the Christmas tree. Scale can always help you win over a decor. Use it wisely.
Rustic mix of gold and red poinsettia
Poinsettias are a strong presence and in red they often win the Christmas decor game. Whether fresh or artificial, this stunning flower brings out the festive feel from its lively red hues, emphasize with some rustic golden decors and simple warm white lights. Burlap can aid your decor too !
Cascading golden ribbon and shiny red decors

The lucky ones can get a real pine tree fit in their homes, or the usual commercial Christmas trees sold in stores yet in small spaces or with low budgets, conceptualization is key.

A Christmas tree is never complete without a topper and while simple DIY crafts can bring you extraordinary results in this area, the classical flamboyant ones that can be found in retail will never go old. The red, almost orange hue mixed with gold can become a focal point immediately.
