Christmas Bells using Newspaper Weaving

  More newspaper weaving! This attempt was more successful I think. I decided to go with Christmas colours, since anyway, these decorations were for Christmas.  For these bells, I rolled newspaper tubes (about 150...

Woven Christmas Bell

Newspaper Weaving is one art that fascinates me, though till date, I have not been very good at it. But for this year's Christmas, I decided to try some ornaments using weaving. And this Christmas bell is one of my first attempts.  ...

Woven Star

Every once in a while, I get obsessed with an origami design and keep making it again and again. My last one was Dasa Severova's Origami Woven Star, a modular star made from 16 units. I tried the model with ombré shades of...
