Make your own wrapping paper....

You need white paper about 120g/qm, wallpaper paste, acrylic paints and lot' s of everyday containers or structure tools....there is no limits what you can try out. First apply a good layer of wallpaper paste to your paper. Than start making patterns with acrylic paints....have fun, try out new things......than put it down to let it dry. And there you go, wonderful selfmade wrapping paper, of which you can make paper bags, use it as artist papers or just wrap your next presents with!

Have fun!!!! Smiles, Anke ;)

That's what you could do on a rainy day....

...making your own stamps....

....with your name to....

...use them as stamps for your self-made Altered Photo Collage Sheets....


...you need a flat square eraser and some Lino-Cutting-Tool.....

....but don't forget to transfer it on the rubber stamp/eraser mirrow-viewed!!!! Otherwise you have a mirrow-viewed stamp on your paper ;)

So this is what you could do on a rainy day!!!!! Smiles, Anke ;)
