Craft Update #5

Heya peeps,

This time I wanted to start with felt plushies and head on towards other things I've made.

 To start off, a little felt penguin plushie ♥

I got excited with the glitter nail-polish I had and put it pretty much all over this little guy. I like to call him Letter Pengy because he carries a little letter with him...like a mailman.

The letter is attached with thread so that it doesn't get lost and yes you can hang him too from the ribbon. =)

He is 2.5 inches tall, so pretty small. Maybe I'll make another in a different color with a hat...?

I saw something really cool on a blog, called Paper Matrix. That was the name of the blog, but they take paper weaving to another level. So I decided to attempt one. This is the farthest I could go for now because it gets really difficult after this. A lot of work but worth the effort because the balloon just looks so amazing, and it's very small too.

I tried a simple paper sculpture....I know, it's not 3D...but I did say simple. >w<

This is my butterfly No.1... I have another that I added some designs on.....

And you can see butterfly No.2 here.
And I made some origami flowers, and foam flowers, and cutouts....and little box. The origami flowers were made with small papers, imagine sticky notes. As most of them (the plain blue and plain yellow) are made using sticky notes.

Just so you can get a feel for the size....

I painted the Batman symbol on  my brother's eyeglasses case. It was too plain...   =)

I got a piece of wood and painted some gesso on it, than used puffy paint to add some henna designs all over it.... I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to tie all the different designs and colors together right now.

This box is very special...it took a long time to finish and I put my heart in making it.

Simply, I found a cardboard box and wanted a home for my origami flowers. So I took sharpies and other markers and just made designs all over it....all henna designs. On the bottom of the box I glued a heart I cut out and made more of a lace pattern that blended in with the henna design.

I will upload pictures of the other sides, and the inside later this week. I used more construction paper and jeweled stickers to make the lid look more appealing.

And that is all I am going to include in this post.
See you next time ~♥~

Craft Update #4

Another update!

I am planning on launching videos on youtube soon....with craft updates and maybe even tutorials. =)

 I made these felt heart (plushies?) for Valentines Day. Using a mixture of embroidery and buttons and fabric flower parts I created five of these for now....with ribbons attached so that they are easier to hang.

I tried to keep the designs on them all different from each other (front and back). The original idea I had in mind was to create a tree out of wire and hang these on there with some pink and red leaves....but as I added the ribbons on there I realized that I could create a vine out of these to hang horizontally across a window sill or on the wall...maybe even make it so that they hang vertically. Another possibility would be to hang them individually on the ceiling. These are about 2" tall....perhaps smaller. I am attaching individual shots of all five hearts and I will upload the other later when I come up with more design ideas. Sorry if they seem blurry,crappy phone camera   >w<

 

 

 

This one is really blurry but I am keeping it here just so you can see the design on it.

That is all I am going to post for now...perhaps even for the rest of this coming week.

Tootles! And have fun creating your own art `~*♥*~`
