유진 박's pin:Bookbinding tutorial. Crafty Friday. I saw this idea a while back somewhere online and though it was so cool. I wanted to give it a try. All you need is some jars with lids, small plastic animals, superglue and spray paint. Glue the animals to the lid with superglue and spray the whole lid with paint. Let it dry and you have the cutest jars ever. Have a great weekend all. Photos by Alexandra Grablewski. Pen and Ink Drawing - selecting a suitable subject.

3D paper diamonds. Hello there.

3D paper diamonds

Hope you all had a great Easter! We had a lovely relaxing holiday (….well as relaxing as it gets with kids). It would have been great to have another week off ^_^ Before I forget I just want to say a big thank you for all the kind messages you have send me regarding my book (you really are a nice bunch!) …and huge thanks to all the people who have bought it so far… I’ve been meaning to get this paper diamond up for weeks now…but it’s taken ages to figure the template out (and I’ve been having breaks between each failed attempt). It’s based on simplified version of Satoshi Kamiya’s origami diamond. These paper diamonds are tricky to make (& require a fair bit of patience) so definitely adults only! When you have made your diamonds you can attach thread and hang them up. How-to 1. 2. 3. 4. Happy Monday all!

Edited to add: A few people have had problems printing the templates (the dotted lines do not print). Get inspired. Get motivated. Practice. Improve your drawing skills!

Making buildings in foamboard.

Miniature building construction in foamboard by Emmanuel Nouaillier Emmanuel Nouaillier shows how to scratch build and age miniature structures.

making buildings in foamboard

This is will introduce my personal approach and techniques for scratch building and ageing buildings, pertaining to the typical northern French urban landscape of the 1940s and early 50s. I believe that a proper rendition of textures and adequate weathering of the different elements is important when making a miniature scene, where the optimal development of each small detail of a diorama becomes more a necessity to modellers who want to show, with utmost realism, models that are better detailed and weathered I will explain stage by stage in future articles how to create peculiar materials and elements and how to give the models ‘life’ while employing generic methods.
