The birds' nest present - a lot of L-shaped garden stakes selotaped together into four tetrahedrons.
I've been mostly offline for the last week, leaving me with no time to upload and wish every one of my Flickr friends a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. And now, it's already 2011! I hope everybody had a great holiday with their friends and family.
Probably my least favorite part of the festivities, but I have to admit I love how colorful everything is!
I found an awesome roll of wrapping paper at Savers the other day for 99-cents. I thought the print and thin paper-bag texture would make for some great Vagabond die action. I was right. I cut a few pieces and used colored pencils, something I haven't touched in years, to jazz it up a bit. I was so pleased with the results I made a birthday card for my mother-in-law with one of my cut-outs.
The piece at center-left was torn, scrunched and aged with ink in an attempt to make it appear leather-like. It actually worked, and I can't wait to try a larger piece and maybe apply it to a book. These will probably go into my Smash Book.
ok, so i wasn't actually there for bloo's actual birthday, but i couldn't not get him a gift. COULDN'T NOT, you know? i think he liked his gift very much.
these lumpy gifts are two garden gnomes for my dad. he only wanted gnomes this year and wouldn't tell me anything else at all that he'd like to have. they sure look sad once they're wrapped up!
This is a sample of a kaleidoscope tessellation requested by, and created for, a friend (Gina) I met here on Flickr. She makes candy wrappers, gift wrap, bookmarks, etc., but her site is no longer online, so I'm not sure where to get her products any longer.
Only sample tiles are available for viewing since I used her original picture instead of one of my own or one from Flickr with a CC license.

Ella thoroughly enjoyed sampling the flavor of her Christmas presents' wrapping paper. We don't acually let her eat the paper, but she's very quick!
I accumulate way too many paper bags from Trader Joe's. Here, I use them to wrap presents for my brother and sister in law.
When re-using paper grocery bags as wrapping paper, I find it becomes necessary to up the ante on ribbon and overall presentation (even though - look! a handle!), while maintaining a clean simplicity... you're not trying to hide the fact that you've wrapped something in a grocery bag but to enhance it and to give it a dignified afterlife. So please - no curled pink ribbon.
I used a deep aqua twine - perhaps too understated for the task - with some fresh eucalyptus that I happened to buy at the farmers market this afternoon.
Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome.
Hmmm... what's inside?
My boyfriend wrapped my birthday present with Paul Frank wrapping paper but ran out.
He used the torn BAPE camo. page from his magazine to cover up the rest. He managed to cover up this side completely...
