Many thanks to Anchorman who showed us that beautiful aubretia made into a paperweight by going on http://www.dumpr.net/

I spent the morning playing on it ~ thought you might like to work out which flowers I put in, to make these:

How have you done this, its fantastic,

25 Jan, 2011

 

lily, tulip, bottom one snowdrop? Primula and......um.....3rd one down, can't remember it's name! Cool idea!

25 Jan, 2011

 

go onto the web site that ive put in the blog and click on the magic circle option, all you have to do is upload your photo, but make sure it doesnt have many pixels ~ less than the amount you need to put photos on here ~ it will tell you what to do
i thought it was great fun
i havent put a tulip on lulu nor a primula

25 Jan, 2011

 

Hellebore, not primula! These are fantastic Sticki you are very clever (clever folk are allowed tantrums lol!). The would make wonderful paperweights

25 Jan, 2011

 

Heather another??

25 Jan, 2011

 

i havent done anything clever the computer does it all, anchorman did the clever thing in finding it
yes there is a hellebore but not a heather ~ its a bit like one of those puzzles that i never understood ~ my first is in and my last is in etc

25 Jan, 2011

 

Amaryllis?

25 Jan, 2011

 

no ~ do you want a clue?

25 Jan, 2011

 

Nope, not yet..as long as they arent too way out..third one is evergreen I reckon, could be a vibernum?

25 Jan, 2011

 

it is evergreen but not viburnam

25 Jan, 2011

 

The only other flower shape I recall like that is lily of the valley...if not then Im stumped over No.3

25 Jan, 2011

 

how about snowdrops tet

25 Jan, 2011

 

Thought that was the last picture.

25 Jan, 2011

 

O, sorry just trying to help

25 Jan, 2011

 

One before last a Hellebore? These are amazing, Sticki, and you tried to tell me you're not artistic!!

25 Jan, 2011

 

Is the third one Pieris?? Have just been on the site . . . what extraordinary effects, thanks!

25 Jan, 2011

 

Oh yes! forgot about pieris, probly cos mine are pink.

25 Jan, 2011

 

looks very nice !!!

25 Jan, 2011

 

yes one of them is pieris. is there one to go?

25 Jan, 2011

 

Clematis ?

25 Jan, 2011

 

no its not a clematis - its a small plant - not tall at all!

25 Jan, 2011

 

Still havent got 1 and 2, felt sure the top one was amaryllis cos it has a fleshy stem and a rude looking top to it..are these first two flowers that are out at present?

25 Jan, 2011

 

not much out in my garden at the moment. first one would be out in the summer but the second one should be out within the next month - i hope.
the process that makes these pictures distorts the photo considerably so dont rely on it being a stalk!

25 Jan, 2011

 

Second one looks like tulips..some remind me of the heads when petals have gone...the first..lily..daylily..havent a clue.

25 Jan, 2011

 

Oh no..tulips not out til April..back to the drawing board

25 Jan, 2011

 

yes first is a lily but second is not a tulip, more open than a tulip and has more anthers [i think thats what they are called]

25 Jan, 2011

 

I give up!

25 Jan, 2011

 

sent you a pm

25 Jan, 2011

 

Ta!

25 Jan, 2011

 

Clever you, they look great.

25 Jan, 2011

 

have a look on the site clarice ~ they are fun, not difficult.

25 Jan, 2011

 

They're very nice. They look like glass paper weights :o) Don't think I'd have the patience to make them lol

25 Jan, 2011

 

doesnt take long ~ you only need a photo that has a small number of pixels

25 Jan, 2011

 

Blimey, I don't care what flowers they are, I collect paperweights, and I really wish these were real ones, they're gorgeous.

25 Jan, 2011

 

so do i bamboo, arent they lovely but have a look at anchormans photo and then he has put some more on the Dumpr site ~ they are brilliant.

25 Jan, 2011

 

Ive just been telling her the same Bamboo...you and me both!

25 Jan, 2011

 

wow very nice .................... have to have a go x

25 Jan, 2011

 

Wow they are amazing Sticki, theres no point in me guessing which flowers because all my choices have already been mentioned!

25 Jan, 2011

 

i think there is only one that people havent got

25 Jan, 2011

 

These are all fabulous Sticki, I love them all whatever they are!

25 Jan, 2011

 

shall i tell you what they were yet?
i put a photo of a clematis on and then followed it with a magic circle clematis - im still trying to work out which part of the photo goes where!

25 Jan, 2011

 

I have a paper weight collection too and I'd be happy to add these :)

26 Jan, 2011

 

:o)
caithness gee?

26 Jan, 2011

 

All sorts, Sticki, some were gifts and others I bought myself from places we visited.

26 Jan, 2011

 

Well Sticki, I know I told you I wasnt into gadgets, but I decided to try this...wow, got some lovely ones!

27 Jan, 2011

 

oh well done you, thought you would enjoy it ~ have you posted some?

27 Jan, 2011

 

Perhaps I will..then you can try and guess mine! lol

27 Jan, 2011

 

oh, yes. i wont be any good at guessing cos it distorts them so much but i would still like to see them
i would like the picture printed up ~ you can have photos printed on glass now instead of paper.

27 Jan, 2011

 

These are brilliant Sticki, going to put on favourites so I can have a go later :-)

27 Jan, 2011

 

its great fun simbad you will love it

27 Jan, 2011

 

I think they are very good, i saw snowdrops. i like that one

8 Feb, 2011

 

the last one was a snowdrop ~ do you want any clues for the others cm?

9 Feb, 2011

 

Beautiful, brilliant, fantastic and all other sort of praise heaped on you, Sticki! Thanks for info, have tried it out, but haven't posted on Goy...bit isn't it clever...kept me happy for hours...Love what you have on here...\0/x
