Pop-up greeting card

Greetings,
I tried a new craft this week and it's a pop-up card. I was planning to try this from a long time. The pictures are taken from Beatrix Potter's 'The tale of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle'. The front of the card shows Lucie looking for her lost handkerchiefs and pinafore, and the inside shows Mrs. Tiggy-winkle busy with her washing and ironing in her kitchen.
I love Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's character. Although many of Beatrix Potter's story book animals were based on her own pets, she often gave them human qualities too. The character of Mrs. Tiggy Winkle was inspired by Kitty McDonald, an old Scottish washerwoman, "a comical, round little old woman, as brown as a berry and wears multitude of petticoats".
Beatrix's tame hedgehog, Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, did her duty as a model.
(This information is taken by the original and authorised edition of 'The complete tales of Beatrix Potter').

This project is made from 'The big Peter Rabbit book' which includes things to do, games to play, stories presents to make etc.
Until next...

A friend is a gift you give yourself

Greetings,
I worked on another miniature project using popsicle sticks. This is a freindship and a tea party theme. It's so much fun to invite a friend for tea or coffee and chat and babble forever. Also, time just flies when you are whopping and guaffaving about something with a dear friend.

I used the wooden beads to make the tea pot and the cups. I used the wooden buttons for the saucers. The vase is again a wooden bead. The loaf of bread is made out of clay.

Overall, I had a great time making this project.

Until next...

Daffy-down-dilly's little cottage

Greetings,

I was planning to try out a tiny wooden cottage and finally I made one using popsicle sticks. I tried to provide as many details as possible inside the cottage. I made the bed out of popsicle sticks and painted it. Since, the space inside the cottage was limited I just Stuck some stickers to show the details instead of making 3D articles. Even the 2D stickers have given great effect.
I stuck a real tree birch for the tree. Then, I stuck some artificial creepers on the outside of the cottage. The doll is not handmade.

With some handmade things and with some things which were bought, this cottage looks lovely!
Until next....

Some more painted mugs

Greetings,
I painted a few more mugs and a bottle. The milk man from where I buy milk is kind enough to give me a few bottles. I just painted one bottle and it was fun!

The illustration on this above mug is from Mary Engelbreit's 'Mother goose'. The wording is from Charles Dickens vignette.

I painted this above mug to gift one of my coworkers.

Transformation of an itsy-bitsy girl to a busy Beaver

It's marvelous the way girls transform themselves into matured individuals once they grow up.

A girl when she is little is so dependent on her mother or father to accomplish a certain task. She is dependent on her mother to get her dressed or get her homework done. She is dependent on her father to take every important decision. She wants her mother around in case if she has been taken poorly.

A girl who often disavows responsibilities at her parents, change impeccably into a highly responsible individual who can manage her house hold diligently when she gets married.

Even if her house lacks sumptuousness and even if it's Spartan she learns to adapt to her new life.

She fags away into turning her home spic and span. She learns to do things meticulously and keeps everything in order.

She learns to cook her family's favorite meals. She tends to her family when needed. She learns to care for her children and help them when they need her.

She also learns to take the financial responsibilities when needed and last but not the least, she dreams of getting older with her partner and share each other's love, warmth and affection.

(All the illustrations are original, except the last two illustrations which were taken from the internet).

Painted mugs.

Greetings,
I just discovered this new hobby of painting mugs. I am enjoying this tremendously. I have used glass paint to paint these and they are quite easy and fun to paint.

I painted a few based on Beatrix Potter's illustrations, and a few are based on some office humor which I found on the internet.

I also knitted a doll based on an illustration I found on the internet. It says "when I asked for a quite place, I didn't have this in my mind". Unfortunately I have deleted that illustration and I couldn't find the picture. The island and the plan tree is knitted from Jeangreen Howe's book. The man is made out of felt.

I had fun with my new projects.

Until next...
