The past week I’ve been working on this miniature that I made for @scrapbramble as a belated birthday present. It has a secret drawer and it folds closed so it can be put away like a book
Here are some close-ups and process pics for scale
I remember being optimistic for the new year at the end of 2020, and boy did I learn my lesson . Entering this year with low expectations and only modest hopes. Who knows, maybe we can get through six days without incident. Rest in peace, Betty White; we were all rooting for you to make 100 but clearly 2021 wanted to throw us one last collective punch in the feels. I did manage to close out the year doing one of my favorite things – learning new art hacks. Lisa Bardot did this awesome paper cut class for Procreate, and I had a lot of fun with those snowflakes.
I’ve known our next guest, Ulrika Friesen, for about five years now. We work closely together at the day job every single day - I say we’re partners in crime, she likes to say we’re partners in goodness. As long as I’ve known her, she’s been super passionate about stamping and papercraft. So of course I had to get her on the show!
In this episode, we talk how to craft with friends during a pandemic; the deep joy of organizing your stuff; pyramid schemes; discovering your creativity; quite literally delivering joy; and so much more.
So enjoy this cozy chat with my friend, and find out why Ulrika loves stamping and papercraft - and why you might learn to love it, too.
Farid’s chosen character: Kenji, their own OC, and his love for origami
“Kenji is my current fixated character, and his passion for drawing patterns and making his own paper to craft his own origami is very sweet to me because it’s one of his biggest creative outlets! He’s good at making a lot of animals! His favourite are sharks.” —Farid
Cut the paper down to the same size as the vase, then wrap it around and tape it on. Use clear Scotch tape. Tape one edge directly to the vase, then put tape loops under the other edge and press them down. That way you don’t see any of the tape.
Been working on some more modular walls, this time some generic rocks. I figure they should be able to work well for defining caverns, cliff faces, hills, etc for a variety of different environments.
Some of these DIY Potion Printables are for Halloween, but others could be used for Valentine’s Day and other occasions.
Somerset Place has used the printables for candles (at the link), but these would also work with mini bottle necklaces, potion bottles, collages and cards.
