Some more tissue paper flowers that I made recently. They lit up the gloomy winter day for me :)

clock redo

There was lot of wool left after I made the wool wreath from the previous post. I glued the wool all around the clock. The clock that I bought from Ikea looked originally like this :

I started to glue the wool from the inner circumference of the clock working  towards the edges. After the redo the clock looks like this :

wool wreath using beads

Beautiful colors of this wool made me buy even though I had no idea how to knit. Later on I got an idea of making a wool wreath. Just to add some details I sewed white wooden beads which I got from Idee craft store.

Crayon etching art

This technique was taught to us in Art course by our teacher in school. I find this technique really creative and fun to do. For this, I took a white chart paper and filled it with different colored crayons. One may fill the paper completely with crayons one over the other or it can be filled in small random parts with one color for one part. I chose the later method. I colored using different colors in different regions of the sheet. Not coloring over the other. After doing this, I painted black acrylic paint all over the sheet making sure that no part of the sheet is left uncovered. After completely painting it black, I let it dry completely. This was the preparation for the art. Now comes the creativity of the individual. Using a slightly sharp tool, drawing on this sheet by slightly applying pressure etches the black paint away and reveals the colorful crayon beneath the paint.

I drew flowers and butterfly. But its always one's own choice. But while drawing one needs to be careful as the option of erasing it off is not that reliable. If you draw a wrong line, it is difficult to erase it. Painting black on it might help but that is always extra work. So to avoid mistakes, I draw on the black painted sheet using a blunt HB pencil.  And then I use the etching tool. Here's my project :

Origami art

Origami was also introduced to us in our SUPW class. Project which I made looks like the photo below. Each of the sqaures are separate pieces of paper that I folded. I was going for some other form but I was satisfied with this one. After folding all these pieces, I put them together on a chart paper and glued them. And the same with the butterfly.
