Funny how they accumulate, all those bits and pieces saved as reminder of good times, important times, other days, other people. There are for example, the sea shells the kids gathered at the beach last summer. There's the big copper penny from pre-decimalization days. And the butterfly that is the pride of your doughter's collection. How about the ticket stubs, polished stones, brass button, locket key, bracelet charm. World War II medal, miniature doll - the list of such fragments is endless.

Fortunately, there is a craft activity that can transform these odds and ends into beautiful and charming objects. The technique is called embedment, and is not the same as that used to create the room plastic. This material is not the same as that used to create the room divider. The name is the same and the chemical formula is similar, but the properties are vastly different.
