I have described the process for dyeing tissue paper many times. I'm not going to repeat it again! Enjoy, my Flickr friends!

my Flickr friends! You make my day every day!
New Use for Computer ~ On Saturday I wrote ~ We were to have a power outage tomorrow (Sunday) night... but I'm glad to say the planned outage has been cancelled! So said the power company website and so said a memo from our ExDir at suppertime Sunday... That evening I was Flickring away when the lights went out!!! Oops! It was 10:30 PM! How to get to my bedroom where I had a lantern and flashlight? I used my MacBook to light the way! Holding it screen forward and tilted down, I was able to make my way to my bed and turn on my lantern! Needless to say, I got myself into bed and asleep as quickly as possible... Power was restored 5 AM Monday morning. This morning I heard an explanation for the mistake ~ the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing! HA!
I was wrapping gifts the other afternoon and went to get some tissue paper and tags from the bag I'd stored my wrapping in, and guess who had made himself at home in the bag?
Oh well, I guess that people will just have to deal with a little wrinkled tissue in their gifts......and a few Vinny hairs! 8-)
Kotlin is a programming language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is gaining in popularity. Having used it for some time, I'm quite happy about the results and I held a Kotlin birds-of-a-feather session at the recent Devoxx.PL conference in Kraków, Poland.
Since the logo is quite simple and based on geometric shapes representing just the letter K, I couldn't resist trying to design it in origami. Lacking duo paper with the right colors, I used a three--layer sandwich paper (Tant-tissue-Unryu).
Scion Presents: Papershapers Paper Art Series
Imagine the thrill of discovering that I have been invited to show my work alongside some of the worlds paper greats (as if showing at Giant Robot wasn't enough in itself)...
Papershapers at Scion Space
April 11 - May 2
Scion Installation L.A.
3521 Helms Avenue (at National)
Culver City, CA. 90232
310-815-8840
Giant Robot is proud to present Papershapers, a group show featuring ten artists who work with paper--not "on paper." The exhibition will feature works that are cut, torn, folded, and sewn into unique creations. The show concept was inspired artist Shin Tanaka, whose works are considered "urban paper." The Tokyoite successfully creates figures representing street culture much in the style of vinyl toy contemporaries, Michael Lau and Eric So. He recently collaborated with Giant Robot magazine and Scion on three paper robots which were featured in Giant Robot issues 56, 57, and 58 and combine to form a larger, "giant robot." The Japanese artist will be on hand to show original pieces and fold paper with attendees!
The exhibition is filled out by a variety of paper artists from around the world:
Peter Callesen (Denmark) is well-known throughout the blogosphere for his paper cutouts that are often constructed from single sheets. The hyper detail and surreal aspects of his work are typically written about in awestruck fashion.
Brian Dettmer (Atlanta, GA) actually cuts into books to create dioramas using the words and illustrations within. In addition to providing unimagined glimpses into encyclopedias and dictionaries, he has worked with maps and cassette tapes.
Hunter Stabler (Philadelphia, PA) executes detailed paper cuts and turns the delicate, snowflake-like pieces into "heavy" imagery such as skulls, planes, and bombs.
Mu Pan (Brooklyn, NY) refers to his paper works as "origaMu." By cutting, folding, and painting, he transforms sheets of paper into impossibly detailed depictions of historical figures such Mongols, Indians, and Kabuki characters.
Ana Serrano (Los Angeles, CA) creates miniature worlds via painted cardboard. The free-standing city scenes provide a colorful, engaging, and thoughtful look at class, culture, and economy.
Richard Sweeney (England) creates abstract, elegant, geometric shapes that have provided the bases for one-of-a-kind lamps, boutique window displays, and sculptural installations around London.
Ryohei Tanaka (Japan) uses symmetrical paper cuts to depict whimsical, other-worldly creatures, landscapes, and scenes.
Polly Verity (Scotland) depicts envisions creatures like harpies and griffins via paper sculpture. Other projects include folded, arabesque textures and costume pieces that can actually be worn.
Annie Vought (Oakland, CA) painstakingly cuts out handwritten letters and words, and employs the floated typography in her ghostly installations.

First time making a purse... didn't put nearly as much detail as I would have liked but I still LOVE how it all turned out. =)
This cake was ordered late Friday night and delivered this morning (Tuesday)... I had less than three days to complete it all...
Made the fondant all from scratch too. Lots of work in a short time... bleh! Needless to say I haven't slept much these past few days.

They are not attached, I just arranged them that way to get them all in the picture!! What a cute townhome that would be if they were attached:)
It was a cloudy day, so the colors are a little wonky here!
For Macro Mondays. March 2, 2015 ~ Abstract in Macro. HMM!
This is again tissue paper I colored with acrylic inks. I crushed white tissue paper, sprayed it with water,
and then dropped on acrylic ink. After the paper dried, I ironed the paper, and then crushed the paper
again and repeated the process. When I was satisfied with the result, I ironed the paper flat.

Welcome to the new week, my Flickr friends! Thanks so much for showing up and sharing!
Today's artwork in collaged papers and paint and a bit of stitching on an index card. I used a bit of a handwritten letter but gasped when it became quickly obvious that it wasn't water proof...some of the words were lost. (daisyyellowart)
This beautiful pink flower has such delicate petals that they look like tissue paper.
The lovely centre markings make a star shape. This is one of my favourite types of flowers.
This flower is part of a mosaic featured on my blog
for utata ip 253 which requires
1 - tissue
2 - mirror
3 - soft focus
And here is an extract of Pablo Neruda's Ode to the Orange, just because I like his poems.
Give us
this day
orange daylight,
and every day,
and may mankind's heart,
and its clusters of fruit,
be both bitter and sweet:
irrepressible source of freshness,
may it hold and protect
the earth's
mysterious
simplicity,
and the perfect oneness
of an orange.

slider sunday-- today (on saturday) we were at the button factory artists' lofts open house in portsmouth, NH, which is a wonderful venue!! and every year i enjoy taking pics and doing some christmas shopping. have told my dear ones that what the artists have in their studios, for inspiration, is often as fascinating at the things they have created :)
**this looks *very* cool in the lightbox; to experience that, type L or click on the pic :)
abt the sliding.......oddly enough, besides upping the definition and the sharpness, i decreased the contrast which softened the colors a bit. thought about a crop that would have just been the top half of the window but then i would have lost the hint of objects to the left and below.
am participating in black sunday but will comment on pics that you add, since not everyone feels as strongly about this. i am doing so/participating in sympathy for those who *don't* have high speed internet access and therefore have/had been squeezed out by the first big change. i fear that we'll lose even more with the newest proposed and suggested beta changes ~SIGH~..... a huge portion of the wonder of this community is the discussion of our photographs but make no mistake, the pictures are central-- we are not facebook, we are a community of artists in the photographic medium!!
Job for an upcoming issue of Nick Magazine, about mistaken customs all over the world. This one is a possible Spanish saying-- when frogs grow hairs!
Fooled around with a Eric Carle-esque tissue paper technique with this one. More of this to come.

Super easy project! You just use plain tissue paper in any color and fold into squares and cut (so you can cut multiple dots). Then adhere in random pattern...I wanted it heavy on top with it trickling down. I used Collage Pauge decopauge medium and it worked perfectly!
Oh and this would also be great for the medium and mini sized lanterns. Perhaps do a series of string lights in all different color tissue papers? Hmm hmm? It could look very interesting!
