A hobby to try: Paper Quilling

Do I love paper arts because I am a paper artist, or am I a paper artist because I love paper arts? Either way, I am absolutely in love with these paper quilling pieces, and I am determined to try quilling sometime. I always pass by that section in my craft store because I really don't need another hobby (or set of craft tools and supplies) but the more I look at these the more I am just in love with the possibilities!


 My favorite is the hand, followed closely by the wreath and the starry nights image. I also think the cross-section of the human head is pretty awesome. Which is your favorite?

**I apologize for not having all the correct links for these pieces. If you know the original sources, please let me know!

My Latest Obsession: Washi Tape!

I was bouncing around Etsy last month and I came across a BNR treasury in which people were discussing the uses for Washi tape. I had never heard of it before. I was intrigued. Someone said they used it for packing orders... I pack a lot of orders and I love making my packaging look beautiful. So I hopped over to Washi Wishes and began to explore the wonderful world of Washi!


 

I bought two roles, and as soon as I got them in the mail I immediately bought two more. And then, like any good internet addict, I popped over to Pinterest and found a whole world of DIYs involving washi tape! Oh my goodness, I can't wait to try them all!!

Washi Tape clock

For those of you who don't already know, Washi tape is like masking tape that has been magically transformed into beautiful colors and patterns. It is called Washi because it has some connection with Japanese stuff.
How's that for an explanation?

Anyways, I wish I had discovered Washi sooner! Have you ever tried Washi tape? What are your favorite uses for it?
