61/365 - Bored at work 2

Friday, February 04, 2011

Another day of making art at work although I'm working in research. (shhh don't tell my boss). Today I came prepared with my own glue which is better suited for quilling than a pritt stick.

I'm in a snowflake phase at the moment so I rolled the shredded paper found the other day in the bin and came up with this totally recycled hanging snowflake.

62/365 - 100% recycled

Friday, February 04, 2011

62/365 - 100% recycled

62/365 - 100% recycled

The drawing that you see underneath was sent to My REAL wall few days ago from B.

The flowers were so nice and simple that I felt the need to quill them and so I did. The strips that I used for this piece are shredded paper that I found in the recycled bin in my office.

This is going back from where it came. I hope B will not get upset for altering her work.

60/365 - Bored at work

Wednesday, February 02, 2011
The first thing on the right when I come into my office is a paper recycling bin which is usually full of crappy adverts magazines and forms. Me being a crafty paper lover, I check from time to time just in case someone drops in a magazine with some nice images. This morning I almost squealed with happiness seeing the bin half full with this lovely shredded paper. I had wanted to get my hands on some recycled paper strips for a while.
As I was on the last bit of training that took way too long for my short attention spam I immediately asked my boss for some glue and made these up while my computer was booting up.
I am really happy that I have this strips at work so I can roll some flowers in my lunch breaks and get away without looking too much like a weirdo. (I work in a very technical place)

58/365 - S is for snowflake

Friday, January 28, 2011

This is the second in the quilled snowflake series. I made this for day 329 on 365 cards.

The pattern and the paper strips comes form the quilling pattern a day calendar that I've bought a while ago. I have to say that that I'm not very happy with the quality of the paper that comes with. The strips have funny coloured edges that gives the quilling a weird look. Well I guess that's one of the reasons why the calendar didn't become popular.

50/365 - A martini for Postmuse

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

50_365 (2)

I made this card couple of days ago using another recycled Christmas card that I found and the first quilling pattern from my pattern-a-day calendar.

When I was thinking who to send it to PostMuse came to mind as I remembered she likes wine. When I saw her Shaken,not stirred today I was really happy as it reinforce the thought to send this card to her.

Here you go PostMuse a martini from me. Hope this will bring a smile on your face and make you forget about your flight troubles.

52/365 - Wisdom

Tuesday, January 18, 2011
This is another one that I made for 365 cards. The challenge this time was to make a card that incorporates the word "Wisdom" either somewhere on the card or to use other words and images to convey what wisdom means to me...

I always considered owls to be wise birds so that's why I decided to make this card. The quote underneath it represents me. After I learn something new I realise how much more there is to learn about that subject and feel that there aren't enough hours in a day to catch up will all the interesting things that I want to do.

51/365 - Friendship

Tuesday, January 18, 2011
Just a while ago I discovered a brilliant site, 365 Cards where they have 365 challenges. So every day of the year there is a new theme and if you want to participate you need to make a card according to that theme and link you blogpage to their site. The blog it's running for 3 years now and sometimes it has competitions as well.

I decided to join them so I made this card for day 322 - Super Sketchy Sunday. I made it from a recycled Christmas Card as I don't like wasting.

36/365 - Lotus flower

Thursday, January 13, 2011
This is the second piece of the framed flower collage series.

At the moment I'm not sending any of this for two reasons. Firstly I want to see all the pieces in the series together to be able to analyse them and the second one is that I really don't have any spare time to do so.
London it's such a demanding city...

35/365 - Ladybirds invasion

Thursday, January 13, 2011
This is the first one of a experiment collage series. I really want to get better at combining colours and frame pictures.
I realised that if I do a theme, in the end when I have an overview of all of the pieces together, I can see what worked and what didn't.
This time the theme will be framed collaged flower (from my never ending flower magazines).
