String of imagination

 

Lamp project: I wanted to knit one but I didn't have enough yarn for it (yeah, usually never have enough of the materials commonly used for making things. You poor student, you.)
 When I was about to give up on the idea my eyes fell onto the giant roll of super thin paper. The lightbulb in my head went on. I cut the paper into long strips, glued them together making them even longer and twisted those strips into yarn. Paper yarn. Just so the paper won't touch the bulb I made this steel wire thing inside of the lamp which also helps it maintain it's beehive like form.

Deer & skinny Lady

Papier maché is seriously underrated! Fell in love with the technique a couple of years ago when me and my twin sister did masks for a film she's making. The lenses of an old pair of sunshades made splendid eyes. Painted the thing with a sponge and acrylics.The only real problem I'm having is connecting the horns (a pair of sticks painted in white). How do I do that? I've tried a few ways but I haven't found a long lasting solution. If anyone got any ideas it would make me very happy if you shared them with me!

This here is fine Miss Lush - a fragile lady who loves to wear hats. I actually made her as a hat stand for the fancy pirate hat project... which there will be more about later. She's also good for surprising people. One time my dad put her by the window so when I was looking in through it (as I always do when I come back home) I was for a second sure I was staring death in the face. AAAH!
