Paper flower – video tutorial

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

A lady asked me recently to explain how could she make this flower from paper.

I promised her to write a tutorial, but then I thought that it would be much, much easier and better if I just make a short video.
These flowers look gorgeous, they are very easy to make and they could be a nice gift or just an element for decoration.
In this video is shown a smaller flower, but with more leaves.
You can try your own flower to be different – a hint from me: you can add a stem with green leaves from other kind of paper and some wire, you can make the flower from more than one color paper. For example, the use of green and white paper will give you one very beautiful lily. :-)
The paper that you need is crep – I guess you can find it in almost every little bookstore or shop for artistic things.
You can see the process of making here:

Good luck with your flowers!

Moomintrolls in October

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Here is one of the best surprises I’ve got for my birthday from a friend.

Moomintroll's cake

I love the books of Tove Jansson and these strange heroes.

Closer look

The cake was not only perfectly made, but also very, very delicious piece of kitchen art. :-)

And from the other side

My brother gave me this big pencil.
It’s a joke with the name of this website, which sounds like the word “pencil” in Bulgarian. :-)

The big pencil

I guess he is just trying to tell me, that is time for me to give drawing more space in my life.
