TIPS
Try to avoid using Sharpie® or magic markers on baked clay - over time the marker will sink into the clay and fade.

An empty Biro or rollerball pen makes a great stylus for embossing and curving tiny leaves and petals on paper flowers.

Carpet Runners can be made up or down step and staircases with ornate ribbon. Tapestry patterned ribbon works well.
