Like the basket & papers used. Wonderful way to learn the periodic table of elements. I did not take Chemistry in school. I took Marine Biology in high school & Physics in college.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely basket, with such pretty pattern paper. Thanks for showing the tutorial on construction. The bottles as flash cards or bookmarks, is a clever idea as well as an unexpected basket image. It's just adorable. I have to admit, those frilly flowers take my eye quite a lot too! Good for your daughter at thinking out of the box to make her chemical tables flash cards too! TFS
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the flowers Mary...they were a bit tricky to make as they are so lacey and delicate. And hehe usually my daughter has a very good memory but was very reluctant to learn Chemical names so I was forced to think of something innovative to egg her on.
DeleteFabulous project Sonia..Loz
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely basket filled with beautiful bottles too! TFS the tutorial!
