I bought a new mobile phone a few months ago, finally got one with a little camera built in. Its not very flash but still three times the resolution of my very first digital camera.
Ive always wanted to carry a camera with me all the time, but now I have to remind myself its there.
This weekend we went to Manly and I remember to use my camera.
The jewelry page is finally up and running on the creative monsoon website, yeay! I have three finished handmade necklaces with more on the way. I love how each one is like a little mini collaged artwork. Some are finished with beaded chains and others with ribbon.
Another photo ready to be added to the website for sale this week. Perhaps I went for a green tone to this one because I was still in a Christmasy mood?
Christmas is over and if you didn't go for some of the recycled gift wrapping ideas you probably have lots of used Christmas wrapping paper ready to throw in the bin. But, here are a few ideas, my favourites for using old Christmas wrapping paper:
Frist, take all the ribbons and bows off and save for any craft or arty projects.
Make new decorations out of it! Follow New York store Anthropologie's window display and make some decorations ready for next year. Try making these cute Christmas stars with the thicker paper. Or an origami wreath. Or decoupage it onto shapes for next years ornaments.
Pack away your Christmas decorations with it.
Shred it! And use it for filling future gift boxes etc.
Happy New Year!
