"Self deception is of primary importance as it permits a belief in understanding the surface as well as the interior. In this way the relationship between the interior and exterior of everything seems to possess a perfect logic, and can be interpreted with established knowledge. In order to deceive others, we explain with theory after theory, but it all ends in laughter and sometimes we even amuse ourselves before god laughs. " Doodles Illustrations.

Folded leather basket :: a minimalistic DIY. I love minimalism, as I truly believe less is more. I have always loved geometry. I love figuring out how things are built. Lately I have been drawn into building shapes, going from something flat to something three dimensional and functional with the least steps involved. The teddy bear key chain is one example. So, when I came across this fabulous basket and DIY on Pinterest, I couldn't get to my craft's table fast enough. This is an easy and fast craft, which requires minimal supplies: a (small) piece of leather, a hole punch, rivets and rivet setter, a cutting tool, and a ruler and pencil. Now if you don't have access to leather, try using heavy weight felt as in the original tutorial, or use foam sheets.
Before you get started and especially when using precious materials like leather, I recommend making a paper version first, just to make sure you got the dimensions right. Instructions: 1. Danwebb - Sculpture - Sculpture. The Little Cloud Flower. I realized I haven't posted a new felt flower tutorial in a long time. I love making this type of felt flower. Some people call them pom pom flowers, and there are a few variations. They remind me of little clouds you can hold in your hand, so I named them the Little Cloud flower. Plus, I already did a tutorial for flowers I called pom-pom flowers.
I used a hot glue gun, but you could also use a needle and thread. The Little Cloud flower is very similar to this fabric and felt flower, and is also similar to the yellow flower in this tutorial. All you need is 10 felt circles and a hot glue gun, It's that easy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Cashmere Cuff. Dolls for the Whimsical Hearts. When I was little I had a box full of Barbie dolls. Something which I'm reluctant to admit as a grown up, if I may so myself. One thing I remember, though, I always had the urge to give my Barbie a "makeover" everytime I get a new one. Be it a scraggly haircut, a black marker hair dye, an unfortunate big red lip, or a disasterous pair of smokey panda eyes.
Poor things, they had no idea what they had gotten themselves into. :) Anyway, now all grown up, I get gooey eyed everytime I spot a strange and whimsical looking art doll. Seriously, if I had my way I would fill up my cabinets full of them! Here are some I found online, see if you feel the same way... I love how eerily they seem to stare at us and I'll bet they look even more beautiful in person! Well, I'll leave you to more browsing. Happy Tuesday! Project: loyalty & kindness necklace. My mom found an excellent resource for families (see the end of this post for more info), and I was looking through it when something jumped out at me. It was given as a blessing for your children, but really, it's Scripture: Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
Proverbs 3:3-4 I thought there could be nothing more fitting than making a necklace as a physical reminder of tying loyalty and kindness around your neck! Here's what you need: Felt (mine is cut to about 5/8 x 4-1/2 inches) Embroidery floss Necklace chain (I used one of my color chains) Fold the strip of felt in half to figure out where you'll stitch, and where it will fold over the chain. You can use a water-soluble pen, or just free hand stitch it as I did. Now you can tie these words around your neck as a reminder. Helen Breil Designs Portfolio.
Wooden animals with style. Today I discovered these wooden animals made by Edie's Lab - simple design, fresh colors, playful shapes. According to the seller, these are figurines, and not meant to be children's toys. All the same, I wish that more children's toys had this sense of style and simplicity to them.

How to make an origami business card holder. Here's a quick and easy origami project: a business card case or gift card holder. Use patterned gift wrap (I like heavier-weight wrapping paper for a sturdier case), graph paper, a paper bag, magazine pages, or origami paper. Decorate the case with washi tape or stamps for a cute way to present gift cards. It will look like you put a lot of thought and effort into a gift that was probably the easiest thing you could buy.
Slacker. Just kidding. To make a holder for a standard 3.5 x 2" business card, start with an 8.5" square of paper. Place the paper pretty side down. Fold the left and right edges inward to meet the center fold. Open the paper again. Close the left and right flaps. Turn the paper over and fold the top down so that the exposed diagonal edges meet precisely at the fold. Fold the bottom up in the same way, tucking the bottom edge into the diagonal flaps. Insert a card to make sure it fits, then fold the case in half. To make a fabric version of this case, see this post.
