Started whith this idea around October of 2011. I was out by the garden and a mosquito dropped in my glass.
Then, I started to figure how can I cover the glass. Went to some crafts stores to figure if I can do something for that problem and I did it.

What have you made recently?
I was just in Mexico City and went to 2 different places where they sell different materials. I bought a lot of different colors, textures, etc etc.
They are all different. I told one of my sisters and she told me it was a good idea and she told me why dont you make 12 of them before you go home. I did it and she loved them. Before I flying back, she saw the other 16 that I have made them and she told me she had a breakfast with 15 ladies. I gave them for her breakfast and she gave one to each of them and they love it .
