Japanese craft fun.
Another hot day loomed ahead, so instead of roaming around opshops, Glenda and I decided to stay inside in airconditioned comfort, and mess around with paper craft. I'd borrowed this book
from our library, and a few of the projects appealed to us, so I took some Washi paper and the book around to Glenda's, and here is what we made. (These are mine - Glenda has the same but with different papers).
This is supposed to be a fridge magnet, but I'd left the magnet strip at home. We thought these little girls would look just as good attached to a card as a gift card.
I have a box of hen's eggshells that I 'blew' clear some years ago with the intention of painting them. One of the Washi paper projects is covering an eggshell with Washi paper, and this is my first effort. I did another one for Glenda which turned out a bit neater, once I'd re-read the instructions and done it properly!

that's a lovely little Japanese girl you've made there!yes she could be used in a card, or even a bookmark or gift tag or you could frame up several of them in a row wearing different coloured kimonos! it's been raining bucketfuls here in Hobart as well.
Oh thank you Cell - you've given me some lovely ideas! Thank goodness for creative friends ;-)
