So's arts and crafts

...these are new technics for me, but I had so much fun making this infinity scarf, that I have to share it with you all. I started with two skeins of  burgundy wool. First I finger knitted the string needed for the scarf...I got 22m of string. Then I knitted the actual scarf: This is a very easy and fun way for kids to learn how to knitt. Update: Here's another finger knitted infinity scarf design I just finished:

hello, My latest project is a custom made notebook, intended to gather up the memories and good thoughts of a family.   It is a single signature A5 notebook, sewn together by hand. For the front cover I used a piece of painted aquarelle paper, left from other projects of mine, a stencil from Tim Holtz for the gilded spots.

hello, Here's a special order of mini tables for cupcakes, and navy blue little roses. The color theme was blue and white, so for the little tables I used blue cardstock and  with white acrylic pint I stenciled on a different pattern on each one. T  The roses are dye cut from a pearled sheet of navy blue paper. To brighten everything up, I used some half acrylic pearls.

Hello, today I would like to show you a new wall art piece I just made. For this picture I used small squares of painted aquarelle paper which I initially prepared for some necklaces I planned to make. So, the aquarelle paper squares have different thicknesses...this gives a nice 3D effect. For the background I used acrylic paints and glazes. On the edges of the picture, I used some cement effect paste to make everything look it was painted on a building wall. And a detail image: Size: 25x30 cm

hello all, Here's my first experiment with hand bookbinding...under the watchful eye of my good friend Paula...:) Thanks for teaching me :) The covers are made of chipboard covered in gift wrap paper. The book contains 12 signatures sown together by hand. As the idea was to make a cookbook, on the first page I have drawn a sketch of a countryside  kitchen inspired from some card making toppers I have. The signatures are A5, and the cover is slightly larger. This cookbook is a very special gift for my best friend  :) representing the beginning of her new healthy life! :)
