Lantern
Originally uploaded by bluedevi

This is the sort of thing that happens when you leave me in the house on my own. I have three million very serious and important things to do, but what am I doing instead? Making lanterns and handmade books. And painting tables, but that's work, of sorts. At least, I get paid if the client sells those.

Once I get a bit better at the stitching, I'm going to make Tempin' Bear notebooks.

Mounting board! Now that would have been WAY easier. ;)

This is beautiful. I'm pretty sure if you made more and etsy'd them, they'd sell.

More limited in terms of shapes, but yes :) It would seem a bit of my brain went on quietly thinking about types of lanterns after the project was over... These ones fold flat, too (though there's a mystical-lantern-like three-sided design that doesn't).

And I just might - thank you for the encouragement. It's not like I have a full-time job at the moment or anything.
