Holiday Time!

Hello All!

The holidays are just around the corner...well, maybe the corner after a few more blocks...but the holiday spirit is in the air! Come September, and I start smelling pumpkin pies everywhere. Before you know it, Halloween will be here, with Thanksgiving and Christmas following closely on its heels!

Here is a start to the Christmas spirit...quilled snowflakes! Petite, delicate, pearly white, they are the perfect ornament for any Christmas tree, small or big.

And a three dimensional one -

Brrr...its snowing in my studio :)

Happy Holidays!

Ready to Ship

Hello All!

Mixed feelings - excitement and pride mixed with a twinge of sadness. Why, you ask? I just sold one of my frames. The 'Bluebells and Butterflies' frame.

I know it is going to a happy, art-loving home and the folks who bought it will adore it, and I am happy to be the creator of something which people see worthy of putting up in their homes. But at the same time, it feels a bit sad to see it all packed and ready to depart.

Wrapped and Ready

Plastic wrap - check.
Bubble wrap - check.
Double bubble wrap - check.

Hope it reaches safe and sound, and its new owners enjoy displaying it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Cheers!

Home Decor - Wall Frames

Hello All!

Preparations for the Lansdowne Market fair are in full swing. In addition to holiday items like ornaments and greeting cards, I am also creating more home decor items. Here are a few created recently. I just cant get over flowers, as you will see in the photos below!

A flower basket full of colorful flowers. The basket is cut out from a table mat :)

FR004 - Flower Basket

An apt gift for a music lover, this wall plaque is made with the technique I call 'Paper Crossovers'. Shades of brown cross over elegantly to form intricate patterns of the staff. The notes stand on top of the staff, in bright blue.

FR005 - Music Wall Plaque

 Another flower piece, three dimensional bluebells this time, attracting a couple of butterflies!

FR006 - Bluebells and Butterflies

Public debut!

Hello All!

Paper Precious has been invited to feature as the 'Artist of the Week' at a local farmer's market on 27th October! I am super excited!

http://lansdownefarmersmarket.com/2012-schedules/aow

The location is the Lansdowne Farmer's Market, which is a great place to find locally grown fresh produce. Every week they showcase the work of one local artist and one musician at the market. Paper Precious will be featured on Saturday, 27th Oct between 9 AM to 1 PM.

Lots of work to be done! I am planning to put up a special range of holiday items - gift articles and greeting cards - for the occasion. Everyone local to the area, I want to see you there!!

Meanwhile...back to work...

Cheers!
