Eggstravaganza Countdown: 2 Days to Go

This is what it looked like at my house yesterday.



Rain. Dreary. Bleh.

And here's what it looked like at my house today.



Sunshine!

Admit it. Sunshine is fabulous. Especially on a clear spring day when the temperatures are below 80 and the humidity is still tolerable. April is why we live in Houston.

And sunshine is why I made this book!


Sunshine with a twist! Just to make room for a few other words.


And a few flowers in the corner.


Hollow kusudama. Bright orange with white insides.


All on a bright yellow, sunshiny book.

Available for you in just 2 DAYS at Eggstravaganza!

Eggstravaganza Countdown: 6 Days To Go

A couple of years ago when I decided I wanted to start making paper flowers, the first kind I made were these:


I still like them. Very simple with a bright jewel in the center.

I make them with very thin wire so they look good in all kinds of vases. Vases made of wood...



...and vases made of books.

I like to mass them together in a big jumble.

You can too. Just come buy some at the Eggstravaganza. April 9.

Eggstrvaganza Countdown: 7 Days To Go

Lots of tiny folded pieces.  


Pieced together to make five petaled lovelies. 


And crowned with a dazzling jewel. 


Because butterflies need a place to land.

Eggstravaganza Countdown: 8 Days To Go

Guess what these are.


They're my shelves in my workshop full of RDCB pages that I've removed from books that I folded. 

I have boxes of them now. 


And stacks on tables. 


But check out my new obsession. 



Butterflies made of RDCB pages!


I love them! I've added a magnet to the back of them so you can pin them to your fridge. 

Or hold your favorite picture to your bulletin board. 


And they'll be on sale at the Eggstravaganza next week. 

Butterflies are free!  Well actually $2 each.
