61/365 - Bored at work 2
Friday, February 04, 2011Another 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, 2011The 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, 2011As 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, 2011This 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.
57/365 - Winter is almost over
Friday, January 28, 2011For the day 332 -This and that on 365 card we had to make a card that has a lot of yellow and is meant to cheer someone up.
I came up with this quilled snow flake card . The pattern and the paper strips comes form the quilling pattern a day calendar that I've bought a while ago.
55/365 - Happy days
Sunday, January 23, 2011The last word for this week on 365 cards was Happy. An easy theme to do.
This is one of my favourite card from my work. I was inspired to do this from a brilliant book, "Designing hand crafted cards" by Claire Sun-Ok Choi.
53/365 - Bliss
Sunday, January 23, 2011Wednesday's word of the day on 365 cards was BLISS. So for this challenge I came up with this card with a quote from Emily Bronte.
50/365 - A martini for Postmuse
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
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, 2011I 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, 2011I 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, 2011At 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, 2011I 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).
