These are Christmas baubles with a difference as they start from simple ‘blown’ eggs decorated with quilling work. I’ve made these ones 11 years ago and they still shine (vintage in today’s attention span). The designs have evolved over the years and this year I made some new ones that have yet to grace this…

Rose Bouquet Card
A good friend of mine was born on Christmas Day. It’s a good idea to make the Christmas greeting card and the Birthday card distinctly separate on this very particular day (I would expect nothing less myself). So, as the birthday card, I came up with a bouquet of roses against a brown card. The…

‘Paper Work’
I was working on a paper project last July which involved names and a loose and ‘free’ typeface. Got it decorated in this wave-like motif like Hokusai. It’s finally finished. A special thank you goes to Alec for the exquisite work on the frame. If I ever do something like this again, I know someone…
