Centrepiece with Coloured Pasta

In a moment full of decorative inspirations, due to the moving, I made up this centrepiece!

Those are the materials I use:

-1 big candle and 1 bigger transparent glass vase.

- 1/2 kg of penne rigate (or whatever shape of pasta that you most like).

- 3 acrylic colors and a white acrylic tube for the gradual mixing.

- 1 paint brush.

- 2 bowls: 1 for the colors and 1 for the water.

 1) After using the white to colors a 1/4 of the penne, and using the silver with the white to color another 1/4 of the penne, I mixed the light blu with the left mixed white-silver color.

Here I show you the last mix: I mixed the dark blu with the left mixed color.

 

 

And that's the centrepiece for our balkon!

Wishes Carts

Busy with the Christmas presents, the mind flies to new creations...
That's my last Sunday creation: a couple of personalizeed wishes card made with pieces of tissues.

Project first step: IDEAS.

We finally met and gathered some ideas. It came out that two of us has an idea to make a backpack, which it may be cool nowadays.

from my side, I insisted to terminate my huge amount of fresh lavender, and so we will make both product and maybe something more.

We will focus on internet, and then in some local markets. 

I plan to make my lavender bags in the next days and will see what it come up!

Next step: Branding.

For the moment one only thing is slowing down my work... the insanity of wasting time, which paperanstitch kyndly today reminds me.

But I have to overcome my fear and think about OUR project. Let's start! 

 

Pochette for Portuguese Girl

As usual I concentrate in projects that are presents for someone I know. In this case the present is for a portuguese friend who lives by the sea. Amazing place. I just didn't go, YET.

This is a purse, a case, for whatever you want to use for (i.e. drawings, tools, notes, cigarettes,…).

I made it with materials that remember me the earth and some embroidery that remind me the ocean, like the portuguese owner likes.

I made it in three different tissues in order to give more contrast to the purse.
