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:

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
