Paper mache fish




Keeping up with our preparations for the nephews kindergarten party we used these paper mache fish I had made a while back. They were a sort of test to see how easy it would be and how they'd look, I never painted them so now was an excellent occasion to do it. Georgia painted them and she used colors that will pop against a blue background green, red and orange. I love the way they look and hopefully they'll fit right in the decor :-)

A lovely project: continue curioso, you can check out the previous clips they have English subtitles.
Wishing you a lovely weekend,
Aleka

A house



Finally listing something new for the shop! The first thing I learned in my clay workshop was how to make decorative tiles, an easy task which teaches you the basics of working with clay. I made a couple for my home, they are decorating my living room wall. Then I made a few for the shop, the colorful hearts, the house and the tree which will be listed shortly. I'm hoping to expand the home decor section of our shop, not just with wall art but hopefully other cute things to decorate your home!
I'm pretty happy with the photos I took, although I faced the same problem I've had for a while: photographing shining things. There is a glare, a shining that I just can't avoid I can only try to minimize. Since a lot of my stuff is coated with an acrylic varnish, they inevitable are very shiny so I need to figure out a solution to this.
Have a great day :-)

Sneak peek


A little sneak peek of what will be listed tomorrow in the shop! And a few things found this weekend: Camilla Engman's commission for a school is just amazing, a hand made gift wrap using a potato is something I'd like to try and finally this lovely artist.
