Home Made Geometric Print and Tulle Bow Gift Wrap {DIY}

As I went through my fabric scraps I found tulle pieces from making a tulle ballerina skirt a while a go. {here} Then I thought it would be nice to make a ribbon out of these tulle fabrics. I also love stamping; immediately stamping a print on a paper for a gift wrap came into mind.

I have all the materials in hand and  not knowing how they are going to turn out; I gave it a try. I really love them only the prints was not as clear as I wanted to be because I am using tissue paper and it is shiny that does not hold paint very well. More less I really like them.

Tutorial; here.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Geometric And Tulle Ribbon Gift Wrap {TUTORIAL}

What you need:

1. Cut the eraser to a small square piece than draw your geometric image. Using Xacto  knife carve around the shape (2.)

3. You can make as many shape as you want. Mine is a plus shape and  a triangular shape.

4. Take a small amount of paint than brush onto your pallete paint with a single stroke. {You may not want to apply it a lot as it will be a blob pattern on the paper as you stamp it.}

1. Slowly stamp it on to the gift wrap paper. Mine is tissue paper. My print did not come out as clear because tissue paper is shiny so you want something that  porous.  Just be extra careful because the paint on the eraser tent to ran out very fast. It is only good about 2 or 3 stamps. Let it dry.

2. Meantime cut the flower from the plastic stem  and spray paint them. The paint does not have to be covered on the flower. You might see that it will only spray on the front part of the flower as the paint does not go deeper into amongst petals. But you can double or triple spray paint them. I did not.

Cut a wide tulle and long enough to make a big bow. The bow will be pretty if the width is little wider. Then when the paper is dry; wrap your gift box and tie with the tulle. And glue gun the flowers as a cluster in the middle of the bow. And it's done!

Thank you!

Peacock Blue With Gold Accent Vase {DIY}

This peacock blue with gold accent vase is very elegant to decorate any room. And it is very easy to create.Tutorial; here.

I love beautiful and unusual vase that simple at the same time. Sometimes it is important to choose the right vase for the flowers that goes in it. Here an elongated vase is good to put long stem flowers. So I chose Calla Lily. Also the color of the vase must be within the same family of the flowers; if you choose to use colorful vase. I am not an expert florist but I learned from painting for a long time that I could see composition and color a little bit.

A few days a go I started to paint my perfume collection. I am an acrylic mix media artist but lately I love the fluidity, delicate and gentleness of water color. I found that painting with water color is very soothing. 

These are my practice water color perfumes. I know I can paint them better next time.

Vintage Muffin Pan Organizer

 Hello,

I hope you had a fantastic week end. 

 Our home is still in process of being sold so last Sunday we went out looking for a condo. There is one condo we like. It is twice bigger of our condo right now and it has a small back yard which I am longing to own for as long as I can remember. We already decided which room is my studio and working space; all for me. I can't tell you how happy I am. But we are going to look for more condo in the area to see what's available out there before we decide.

~~~o0o~~~

One thing that I love visiting New Hampshire/Vermont for a medical check up at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center {here} is shopping for vintage items despite enjoying the beautiful scenic hills in the area and the delicious organic food they serve at most restaurant.

Last June when we went there and  the only vintage item I bought was an old muffin pan. 

I have not cooked any muffin in it yet but in the mean time I could use it to put  vintage trimmings, ribbons and buttons.   

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Favorite Friday

Hello,

I can't believe it is Friday already. How time went by so fast! Do you feel that? Or is it just me.

Today I want to share with you my favorite Friday.

1. I think I am seriously into photography. Yesterday I took 2 hours private class to learn how to use my Nikon camera properly. Before I was only use the Manual or Auto mode. Now I can (I think I can) use the aperture, shutter speed and ISO a little. Since I just learned yesterday; it is quite overwhelming. It is a lot to take in in two hours private class. Emily, my teacher was so adorable. We laughed and giggled all the time since it was only her and myself in the classroom. All and all it was worth it and a good class to take. If you live around the area of Manhattan New York; this is a good place to learn more about photography real quick. {here}.

What I am dreaming about lately is this Tamron 18-270 mm. All you need is this one lens; it has everything instead of carrying different lenses. You can scroll down on the link below {here} and watch the video about this lens. I think I am going to wait a little while until I get used to use the aperture, shutter speed and ISO on the camera first before proceed on getting this lens.

2. I love dutch pancake. Dutch pancake is smaller than pancake we know. In Dutch it's called "Poffertjes". I love poffertjes so much and I think I am going to get this poffertjes pan at Amazon {here}. And in case you do not know what  poffertjes is; you can learn about it here.

3. Lately I enjoy painting with water color. My water color set is Sennelier and it is small. Although Sennelier is a good brand I need a new set since mine I own since I was in school. So I do need a new one badly. I heard that Holbein is very good brand for water color. If you interested in buying Holbein water color set; you can find it here.

4. Aaaaghhh....!!! Shoes!! You can never get enough of a pair of shoes right?. Especially these sexy pumps.

Yes, I am into pumps lately.  I think I can wear pumps to anywhere {with different height of heels of course!} The story is; a week a go was our anniversary. Steven told me that I should get a present for myself. In the past Steven bought presents for me but I never liked it. He ended up returning it. And I am not a person who expect an expensive gifts always. I prefer that he bought me a camera lens, a piece of furniture, enrolled me to a good class, etc. Something like that! I have been dreaming about owning a nice pumps. I know I want a Pigalle Christian Louboutin pumps {here} since a long time a go. It took me almost two weeks to get it since I gave myself a lot of thought that do I really want these shoes? I am not a person who need an expensive shoes like this. Since I know, well we all know that many nice shoes cost much less than these. Anyway, Steven said just go get them already! So we went to Saks in Manhattan. Now the shoes is brand new and waiting for the right occasion for me to wear them.

5. This illustration  caught my eye at Pinterest. Sad enough I lost the link before pinning it. So I do not know, who is the artist or from which site it came from. It is pretty and if you happened to know the site; please let me know? Thank you so much for that! Oh I found it just now; here!

That's all Folks!  These are my Favorite Friday. What are yours?
