Thing a day 23

Bookmarks made from "scrap book paper scraps"...(how do u say it..??)
These are also laminated. Making them was pretty easy, following are the steps :

Paste snips of scrap book paper randomly on a card stock or in my case water color paper. I also colored my base water color paper.


Make an outline of the snips, I also added these stitches like lines, gives a dimensional effect.

next step is to laminate it, which will seal the surface. Use a thick transparent tape. It should be two times broader than the width of the bookmark.

Length wise wrap the tape around the book mark.



Trim any excess. Make as many as you want...!!

Threader earrings

I know this is a scary close up of my ear, but I wanted to show my threader earrings. These are awesome. I have been wanting to have one ever since I knew something like this existed. As you can see I have three piercings, which was the worst experience of my life and I refuse to talk about it. And given a choice will I go back in time and do it again...? yes. Though I will not get them any more. And hence wearing something to keep the piercing open. The best part of these ear rings is, they are sooo comfortable. Earlier I had small ring in each piercing, and it caused great discomfort specially when I wore a woolen cap. And not to mention the discomfort while sleeping(which I was almost use to).
These feel like wearing nothing at all (in my ear...lol).
So from now on, I can wear the fancy/uncomfortable one's occasionally and may be these for everyday. I can see this as a beginning of a collection of Threader earrings.

Thing a day 19

See...! I had a plan with all the ATC's I made. I know their actual purpose is to swap, but it can also be a small painting surface.

Just makes a fun wall piece.
This is NOT my original idea, I picked it up from Google.

Thing a day 18

I am continuing the ceramic spoon set here. This time its a spatula. I used specifically scrapbook paper here, unlike the earlier one where I used junk mail. I wanted to see the effect and also how the two look together.

I have to say this one looks very barbie doll types, the earlier one (spoon) has a rustic look. Also the spoon has been varnished, so probably that also beings in a difference in texture. I will varnish the spatula later, because its hard to click a decent picture once it gets all glossy.

These are all again ATC's. Like I said in the past I love working in a small area, it makes me more courageous.

The photographs have been clicked during night time, and my strictly average camera performs below average during night.

Thing a day 15

This is just a itty-bitty head\hair band I made for my self. Lately I have had a thing for flower on the side hair band.
Also I made it in a dark color, so that it kind of blends with my dark hair.
