Or at least… I think it’s complete! I might add more to it… but for now, I am happy with how it’s come about! As I mentioned in my previous post, I found this and this amazing tutorial on how to make a coiled paper bowl from old magazines, and just had to give it a try. It is 6″ in diameter, and approx. 2″ in height.

After poking around on Pinterest for an hour yesterday while enjoying this beautiful and perfect weather here in South Texas, I found this and this amazing tutorial on how to make a coiled paper bowl from old magazines. I was inspired on the spot! Since I definitely have a few of those laying around, I thought what better way to enjoy today’s perfect weather as well!

I cut up my entire old issue of Hi-Fructose Magazine – Volume 21 into 1/2″ strips, and “set up shop” in the backyard with some Elmers Glue, water, an old paint brush, scissors (just in case) and a silver bowl that I am going to use as a guide since it is just the size that I was looking for. (That is the beginning of the coil in the bottom of the bowl there!)

It’s been about half an hour now, and the coil is about 2″ in width now… more coming soon! :)

Spring has definitely arrived here in New Braunfels, Texas. The wildflowers have begun to bloom, the birds sing all day long, and this… this is our Mountain Laurel… in full bloom. I have a few sprigs of it in a vase in the studio, and it makes coming to work that much sweeter!

With the spring comes the busy wedding and graduation season. I’ve worked on graduation announcements and invitations this season from here to San Diego, to Oxford! On the cutting mat just yesterday were these custom Saint Mary’s University at San Antonio, Texas graduation announcements featuring the San Antonio (version 2) city skyline on canvas stock, with matte navy blue backer and daisy yellow envelope.

Don’t forget to take a peek at my Graduation Announcements/Invitations folder on Facebook! Lots of new updates going in soon…

Investigating “Little Worlds”… seemingly found in nature… ? :)
