Packing Tape Transfers

Packing tape transfers are wonderful ;-)

You can see how it looks e.g. at the flexagons or at my artist book.

In the instruction they are using laser prints that they sell but I’ve made already all sorts of papers (more or less) ‘transparent’: articles from Arabic and Chinese newspapers, pictures from old comic books, patterns from some ads or my beloved travel brochure, pages from old music books or old books written in Fraktur.
Self-printed pictures (I have an inkjet) didn’t work and the quality of my packing tape transfers was differing strongly.
Therefore it’s true again: The proof of the pudding is in the eating ;-))

Embroidered Cards

I found another embroidered card ;-)
If you pay close attention you can see that the body and the antennae of the butterfly are even made with beads.
Cute, isn’t it?

Altered Mini Bottles

I presented the beaded bottle already for people who have mini bottles laying around at home and want to embellish them.
One can also glue everything on that one can put one’s paws on ;-)

Create a Travel Journal

Links of entry

When I traveled I mostly wrote a kind of diary and afterwards I often made a photo album. I’ve never had the idea of creating a real travel journal.
Next time I really want to give it a try – in the same way that is shown here.
And if it won’t happen for any reason: you can certainly create a travel journal of a fictitious travel, too (best wishes to all those who think that I’m talking about them ;-))).

Making Beads

I presented already how I’m making paper beads, somebody shows here most beautiful other (also paper) beads, the ones on the picture are made from woodchip wallpaper.
Aren’t they beautiful?

Recycled Magazine Coasters

Links of entry

Well, such a coaster from old magazines is surely heat-proof.
And certainly not difficult to make, you actually only need folded paper strips of equal width.
And if you don’t have enough paper simply make some jewelry ;-))
