Wisdom Tooth Ring

Jewelry artist Shannon Larratt created a one-of-a-kind gift for his fiance for her birthday last week.

Quite a while ago she gave me permission to use her wisdom teeth (appropriate for her reaching a "wise-old age") that have been sitting in a jar of alcohol since she had them yanked out.

How-To: Kid Plates For Playing With Your Food

I have one child who will eat just about any fruit or veggie you put in front of her. My other child, though, digs his heels in at the thought of eating anything remotely veggie-related, spurring many fights and arguments over the dinner table. I think these plates from Alexis Birkmeyer on Oh Happy Day might help our cause. Kids can use the base drawings as a jumping off point for fun scenes with their food, and then they get to eat their art!
