Hey You!!!
I was pretty busy these last few weeks and couldn't really sit down for either a new art project or making some new jewelry!! So ..... Booooooo!!!!! I think I spent more time (than usual) on You-Tube and Pinterest watching other creative souls do their thing just to get my little art-fix-high .. (huh??.. what?? .. there she goes with inventing new words again!! .. psssshhh!!!)
But TODAY was the day .. well, actually the last few days I started working on something NEW (to me). During my intense browsing I came across PaperArt .. the recycle-a-newspaper-by-rolling-it-up-and-making-something-amazing-out-of-it kind of Art!!! Have you ever been on Pinterest and looked at all the brilliant things people make out of PAPER?? It seems that especially in India and Russia people really like to create amazing things with this cheap material .. and the results are just stunning!!
So yeah, I started folding, cutting and rolling my old magazines!
Fold in half .. cut .. fold the half twice .. until every page is turned into 6 strips! .. and repeat! .. and repeat!!
Then every strip needs to be rolled into a tube! I am not about to bore you with the instructions for that.. there are tons of tutorials all over YouTube and Pinterest! But here is just a small part of my little stash after rolling and coloring!
I wanted to practice to see how this material is working for me .. so i started with a simple weave. Every kid can do that!! Yeah right .. not as easy as these professionals make it look like in their tutorials!!! Sigh!!!!
But anyhow, I have a new UnderAshtrayMat and two new CoffeMugCoasters! Ha,, there!!!
But really .. I know I can do better than that!!!!! And finally .. here comes the real project!!!! Lets take some wire .. and pinch of inspiration .. a pound of patience .. and viola!!!! Here she is!!!!
She is not 100% finished yet .. but I am sure you can imagine where this is going! And I really believe she needs a few sisters and children to make her happy!!
