Fragrance stones tutorial

July 21, 2009 by jessica neaves

Homemade Fragrance Stones from Good Clean Luv

Make your own sophisticated potpourri that will last for months! This recipe can be used to make little balls of fragrance stones, or rolled out like sugar cookie dough, and cut into shapes with cookie cutters.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup salt
1/4 tsp cornstarch
2/3 cup boiling water
1 Tbl fragrance oil
Coloring, glitter or add-ins

Mix together all of the dry ingredients. Add the fragrance oil and coloring to the boiling water, then stir into the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly, then knead the dough with your hands.

The dough should begin to look like pie or cookie dough. Pinch off small pieces and roll into small balls. You can also roll the dough out into a sheet, as you would with sugar cookie dough and use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes.

Let the dough dry – it will get as hard as rocks and will last for months. You can refresh the scents by spritzing with the same fragrance oil, if desired.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
