More Paper Flowers

Hi everyone!! I hope you've had a nice start of the year, and are on your way to fulfilling your New Year's resolutions :)

For my first blog post this year, I decided to go back to my love for all flowers made from paper.



I made these flowers some time ago from card stock (some petals were lightly tinted with ink and chalk), and also wire, silver, pearl and buttons for accents. I'm currently working on paper flowers with LED lights, so I'll post the results once they are ready. Stay tuned...



In the meantime, enjoy some eco-friendly flowers I found from one of my favorite Etsy shops: TANGLeAndFold. One of the things I love about them is that they are green - and so beautifully constructed from up-cycled magazines and books by Jonathan from TANGLeAndFold.

Happy 2010!

As I'm preparing for a New Year's trip to Washington, DC, I can't help but share these two drawings by Penelope and Pip (the first one) and Pipo Doll (the second one).

I find winter landscapes, especially naked tree branches against the snow rather magical. Check out their other drawings. They are pretty dreamy, too!

Cheers! And have a Happy New Year!!!

Winter Songs

How lovely...

Check out these amazing Winter Songs from The Hotel Cafe.



My favorite from the collection: Fiona Apple's Frosty the Snowman :)


Happy Holidays and lots of joy this season!!

Handmade Bird Ornaments

Paper Birds ornaments are really easy to make. All you need is some card-stock paper, glue and glitter. You can also use vellum paper for the wings and jewel accents for the eyes.

Just trace the shape of a bird (in one simple line) on card stock and cut it out, then glitter the whole bird or just the outlines. Be as creative as you like.

I used snow flakes glitter (in three shapes/sizes) from the Martha Stewart collection to cover the bird (both sides), and after the glitter and glue dried, I hot-glued the light-blue vellum paper wings and added the sparkly jewel eyes.




I got the inspiration for these bird ornaments from Paper-Source and Lupin.
