Work in progress

I wanted to share some recent paper projects and some still in the works:

I was at Joann fabric and craft store http://www.joann.com/

when I came across some Martha Stewart stickers. There were these paper mache flowers in packs of six for around $3. Well I needed several hundred (for the tree on my wall) and couldn't afford to buy them 6 at a time so I bought some tissue paper and started to create my own. They were fairly simple to make and it was fun and so pretty having little paper flowers everywhere.  

I've also been working on Decoupage Easter Eggs:

For these I have blown out eggs then used an exacto knife to cut out designs from napkins, using the very top layer of the napkin and modge podge glue to decoupage the egg.


They are so lovely and will last if not broken



Lastly I am starting a project for my new niece Penelope! I saw these in a Restoration Hardware Baby&Child catalog --http://www.rhbabyandchild.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=rhbc_prod227171
There was a beautiful hot air balloon mobile and of course I thought I can do that with paper!

I didn't have great colors and the balloon is way to big but it was a good sample of the work ahead I can't wait to start and finish them!
