After seeing robins, blue tits, blackbird, a wren and long tailed tits while walking in the woods, we then spotted a flash of blue..... This bird stayed around for a closeup photo!
done with henna on paper... old henna that was kind of blobby!
I also managed to put my hand on it at one point and make a mess. Oh well.
couldn't be bothered doing it over!
Oriland exhibition "Oriland. Un mundo de papiroflexia", El Escorial, Spain, 2007.
Here is La Magic Kingdom featuring Majestic Magic Castle, Magic Library, gardens and La Magic harbour with the tall 2-mast ship 'Moonlight" visiting the kingdom!

Too many choices! This gift of journals has triggered a major case of indecision. After all, I can write in only one at a time. 😊
I had a very difficult and busy week... so I'm posting late this zhoubi. The model is by Oschene wich is on my opinion a wonderful artist and can be found on flickr here www.flickr.com/photos/oschene/ and has also a blog wich I read with great pleasure here origami.oschene.com/
I don't like to fold by CP so if somebody is like me can find the diagram here origamiweekly.blogspot.com/
So I have to thank for this first of all Oschene (if you ever read this thank you, thank you, thank you, I loved to fold this zhoubi, the pleasure of folding it alleviated some very hard moments these past days) and then Origami Weekly. Probably the model would have been more precise with dfferent paper but this week had weakened my folds and I needed softer things.
One square of uncut handpressed paper 30x30 cm.....
Well, at least one paper Dr. Ware recommends does seem to work. Unfortunately it's weird and being discontinued. Luckily it's HUGE sheets which will probably last me forever and was only 95p for elephantine-sized paper.
The thing you can't see from a scan is that this is like slightly shiny smooth tissue paper. It holds up to water well. However, when brushcoating, it likes to stick to the brush (!) on the final stroke closest to an edge so it's a bit of a fight to get it coated but the colour is good (better than what I've gotten out of Buxton paper and Crane's Kid Finish and Arches Aquaelle) I wasn't sure of its colour because it took a while to oxidize properly... some shadows look more solarised after washing. Oh it washes nicely too with it being so thin. I'm sure there's some artsy project you could do with Silversafe's see-through properties but I'm just not interested in that aspect.
Went for a tour of a paper mill, and this is one of the stacks of paper. It is made from recycled clothing, they take clothing, make pulp and then make paper. This is pretty cool, just outside the town of Orcha in India.
Yes, that is a Sonobe ball, and that is my hatchback ford laser! (Next to it is a disassembled umulius rectangulum) I used two sets of these to decorate the anual Standard Bank Artèma Talent Fees in June.
Second attempt at paper piecing -- inspired by lucyellen06's bitty blocks here. I love those little gnomes! Mine and Lucinda's are both from a template here.
He's 3.5 inches square, just like Lucinda's. I want to add him in with my woodland bitty blocks -- I'm not in group 1, for which she made her gnomes.
A design*sponge diy project from 2007. I actually bought the card stock for this last year, but didn't get around to making them until this year. This is about as crafty as I get.
Recycled paper chandelier made for a Woodend Artists ACE funded event in Aug 08. The artist ran workshops with local youth groups to make the origami cubes. These were then grouped into colour and suspended by fishing wire from a central frame.
