Carlos Meira’s paper sculptures.

In early 1990, Carlos moved to Portugal where he developed his unique style of paper sculpture. He returned to Brazil in 1996 and settled in Florianopolis where he further strengthened his illustration side. He has held six solo exhibitions and illustrated several books since then. Carlos Meira has now devoted himself to illustration and paper sculpture having worked as an artist, designer and art director within the advertising industry.

Many years ago, I purchased this unfinished store front box from the late Keith Ballhagen. My original intentions were to turn it into a ladies shoppe. I soon discovered that a ladies shop would require much more square footage than this box included.

It was placed on a high dusty shelf, and ignored for years. It was one of the things that I mentally put on my "when I retire" list, and I thought that perhaps I could turn it into a cake shop to showcase the fabulous cakes I had purchased from Carolyn Brown.. But more about those later. When my friend Moonyeen Moller came to visit and work on the lighting for my Ladies boutique, I was immediately amazed at just how creative and talented she really is!

Before she left my house, I climbed the ladder and took down this dusty store front and handed it to her. She grinned a big grin, grabbed the box and said "Sure, it's a piece of cake" I knew immediately that this would be the name of the cake shop when it was finished. Dolls Have Feelings Too. Tiny Polaroid Magnets | { Ambrosia Girl } Hi there! It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!) I haven’t felt like myself. But nothing like inspiration to wake one out of a reverie — or nightmare, in my constantly sick state. I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar. The idea of mini Polaroids dotting my fridge sounded cute to me.

You will need: Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnetsOpaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white) Craft knife Metal straight edge/ruler Clear packing tape or frisk film. Step 1: Download a Photoshop file of the Polaroid frames below. 487 Comments.

How to Make Leaf Skeletons | The Idea Room. I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons. I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I love how a pattern of leaves can enhance the beauty in your home. So I asked Heather if she would mind sharing her project with you. You can find more great projects from Heather at her blog The Other White House. I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. You need washing soda, not baking soda! Gather your leaves. Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves. You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn’t dry out. When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water.

I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. 37.1Kstumbleupon. Apresentaçao Romenia - Miniature Food Rings. Apresentaçao Romenia - Amazing Paper Art. Castleforte's Awesome Book of Papertoy Monsters | Clutter Magazine. Cover monster, Icy Huggy by Salazad, Evil Icy by Nick Knite I know we're a little behind on this, but it's kind of like introducing someone to Star Wars, better late than never right? Besides, if I had my way, we'd be talking about this book and all the awesome contained inside of it, year 'round. So for those of you just now getting a glimpse of Workman Publishing's, Papertoy Monsters, curated by the venerable Castleforte, what this is at its most basic level is a book about, well monsters. But it goes so far beyond that. Yeah. Each one contributed two monsters, as well as a back story for their lovlies, so it reads as a great book. The Blob by Dolly Oblong It's fully understandable to want to hole up in your basement laboratory and build these guys all by yourself.
