London's Naked Bike Ride & More Glitter Butterflies

(C) 2009 Peter Marshall

I've recently taken up cycling, but I can assure you my legs are not strong enough to have cycled in Saturday's Annual Naked Bike Ride through London. There were about 1,200 cyclists who participated in protest of emissions on the environment. At least, that's what some said. I think a lot just wanted to get their kit off.

These photographs are from Peter Marshall's cool site. Check it out here for more great photos.

Now onto crafts. I know I said last week I would show you what I had made with my Martha Stewart glitter butterflies, but I'm afraid I'm going to keep you guessing a little longer. I went wild this weekend and made a whole bunch more new butterflies and started finishing off some of the earlier ones. I won't reveal yet what I'm doing because I want to make sure they look good in an unusual sort of way, not just unusual in an unusual sort of way.

So if you had a naked bike ride in your town, would you cycle naked? I won't ask if you think I would.

Great Gorgeous Glitter 2!

They're butterflies!

And now I need to think what to make them into.

Great Gorgeous Glitter!

I absolutely adore Martha Stewart's gorgeous glitter! I have finally got to the glitter crafting on my Extremely Crafty List of things to do and I have been on a glitter crafting storm.

Of course, I never want to waste any of the precious glitter, so I pour each color glitter on a different color piece of paper and then delicately try to pour it back in the bottle. It usually works until the really sad occasion when I knock a bottle over and it goes everywhere. Don't you just hate that?

Well, lucky for me, I seem to repel the glitter, but unlucky for my boyfriend, he must be glitter magnetized because whenever he comes over, within five minutes, I find glitter behind his ears and on his nose. (Kind of like a puppy, but don't tell him.)

Here's a peak at what I've been crafting. Can anyone guess what they are?
