Looks great, doesn’t it really?
I always thought about what to make from pop-ups apart from cards – now I know ;-))

Fall Photo Tips
As said before, fall has begun and perhaps you like to make some really beautiful photos.
Then the fall photo tips will be perfect for you.
They forgot though that you have to look out for ground squirrels if you want to make good photos ;-)
And possibly you can take even better pictures with a self-made fisheye lens.
And if you don’t know what to do with the photos, simply browse this blog and make you a DIY photo silhouette t-Shirt with beautifully photographed leaves, Kaleidoscope pictures that you can use on greeting cards, candle lit photo stands for a good ambience, photo pencils that one likes to put in a row, a mailable mosaic for good friends, a photo bookmark where the leave overlaps a little, a Crazy Quilt photo frame that you embroider beautifully, a photo stamp for card making, too, and if you only want to display the pictures, you can make a plaster photo holder or a Jacob’s Ladder for yourself.
And if you have done all this you will already need the tips ‘Photograph the Holidays’ again ;-))

Kusudama
Actually a Kusudama is a whole ball made of those paper flowers, but to tell the truth I like it better this way ;-)

Carved Plaster Plaques
A really long tima ago I found the carved plaster plaques and found the idea great.
But because I still don’t know what exactly to do with them I haven’t tried it yet.
Nevertheless I never forgot those carved plaster plaques ;-)

Fabric Origami II
I published an entry about fabric Origami and about paperless Origami before, in this tutorial you can find just another way to make fabric Origami.
And if you don’t like it, make yourself an edible Origami crane ;-))

Rhombic Dodecahedron Calendar
I find this 12-sided calendar a nice idea for a gift.
It is made for 2009 but you can adapt it to 2010 from the blank template yourself, possibly even handwritten and embellished with funny sketches.

There is also a German version.
Fabric on Polymer Clay
One thing I want to try one day, too, is to apply fabric on polymer clay.
Sigh.
;-)

Origami Panda
Hmpf, they are kitschy – but I find both Panda brothers cute, anyhow ;-))
And you can find a tutorial, too.
But this is not for me, I haven’t even finished the paper folded bracelet ;-)

Whitewash Paper
‘Whitewash paper’ sounds strange, but that’s exactly what she does in her tutorial with the decorative paper: she tints stripes of the decorative paper so that the original pattern shows through.
I find it very elegant.
I think that should be possible with gesso, too (as are so many other things: Wow!) – but I still have to try it out.
If you have experience with this I’d be pleased if you post it in a comment (by the way I’d always be pleased if you comment ;-))

Tie-Dye Paper
I found a tutorial on how to tie-dye paper that is similar to my self coloured tissue papers but with the advantage that you dye proper stiff paper.
I have to try this, too ;-)
