I'll readily admit, I've not had a lot to do with my blog for a while. I don't know about anyone else, but you just kind of have times where you don't feel like being creative or you just want to muck around without purpose.
That said, I did achieve stuff! So I'm going to share a few pictures with you :)
I gave origami a try and love it :) I'm not brilliant at it, but I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks.
I made a few cards but not much - took a break to build up creative juices hehehe Gotta get stuck into the Christmas Cards again, though!! Eek!
If you want instructions for anything below, let me know and I'll create a special post.
So without further ado:
A butterfly :)
A crane :)
Pig and cat finger puppets :)
One of those origami jumping frogs - I just added googly eyes and a curly tongue :)
A geometric ball thing - not very hard, took me a couple of hours or so ... looks amazing!
A lilly :)
A Star Masu Box :)
A Tatu Purse - you pull two triangles on opposite sides and it opens up and then easily goes back into place. I have made another that I have filled with glitter and scatters, and have stamped a greeting inside, that I want to incorporate into a card somehow :)
I got some freebie embellishments with my Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine so threw together a couple of quick cute cards :)
I felt creative today and so decided to make a card that looks like a pinboard :) Could probably use some refinement, but for an on-the-spot concept, I think it came out ok! AS you can probably see, I tiled the cork - I only did this becauase I was working with scraps. Naturally you could just cut one piece to size.
It's been school holidays, too, so my son and I made a papier mache Volcano! Was fantastic fun to build it together and then I just filled it with bicard soda and gave my son cups of vinegar mixed with red food colouring! AWESOME!
Happy Chilling!
Dani :)
