paper mache fox mask

done!even if i'm not completely pleased (because its too long nose,hehe)i've done my sons mask for next weeks school fest.now i can go to the hospital relieved to give birth to my baby :0).today my doctor is consulting me(i'm in week 40)and decides whether to stay there doing nothing or go home for another couple of days.so i could finish the assembly of the mobile solar system.it is ready but the hanging is another headache.so,i made a lot of pictures on how i made the mask and i will post it as soon as i can.now just showing the final result.

ps update-i stay home for another week :)

more eco ...

...earrings,bracelet and rose pin.some of them will be available in my shop soon,i guess.until i still hang on with my sons mobile solar system, three planets still has to be done in these days.in a few days it is his birthday and i want to be ready with my gift.i had trouble with the balloons as they all have strange shapes and i was annoyed by that.the system would have been ready yet...i think Earth will be the weirdest.but i don't want to stop now.he wanted to paint them first but changed the idea after painting Jupiter,lol.a buch of primed planets would lay around the house for weeks if i wait after him.soon i will come up with some shoots.still a pinata has to be done up to Friday and another commissioned work for the week-end.

paper coasters-suport din hartie pentru pahare

hi... made a lot things lately just didn't posted...a pinata,a lot of earrings,now the coasters and my son would like a solar system of paper.so that will come next.a mobile solar system-mached on balloons that will be painted by him.
the square coasters were commissioned and already sold.it was quite hard work as the bound paper coils were very difficult to turn at the edges.i have injured a nail and had some muscular fever for a day from the repetitive bending and pushing movement.it was made entirely of newspaper. the round ones are listed in my Etsy must say it was much easier even if they were coiled very dense.i've used 50 pages,a whole magazine into 4 coasters of 3.7".that means 150 pieces of paper straw,lol! well you may not believe but it took 8 hours of work for the square ones and 6 for the rounds.if you have time to kill you know what to do next ;)

as you can see a lot of GREEN work for this past week!
bye,ildi
