Paper Crafts and The Impending Night Market

 Paper Crafts

 Here's a sneaky peek at some of the paper crafts I've been working on of late.

My favourite items are the 'box cards'. Miniature personalised greeting boxes that each hold a small scroll so you can write your own message. Perfect for the first Anniversary present as yes, they are made of paper. Victorian Novelettes to be precise. See them in person at The Night Market on Tuesday (scroll down for more info on what else to expect!)

Assorted PaperCrafts

 From Left to Right, A paper face, features quilled, including the ears (though you cant quite see them in the picture) and tied with a black ribbon so the piece can be hung as well as stood. A book end, with flowing folded pages and set into a beautifully made dove-tail hinged, quality piece of wood. A stack of box cards, with the smallest of all atop the pile. A miniature 'moving house' gift, adorned with words and quilled loops. 3 box cards, each personalised with different themes and with miniature scrolls so that personal messages can be written inside. Also the perfect home for souvenirs and small gifts. Underneath the stack, is a quilled tree atop a map of Cambridge, with a personalised gift tag. The map is a beautiful retro blue and adds an extra dimensional to this piece. Next, is a large, quilled portrait of an androgynous person. I had started without an intention for sex and no preference appeared, hence the name. Quilled into a golden frame, this is an unusual piece that ha paved the way for me to get a lot more creative with my quilling! In front of that is another box card, and the other, almost symmetrical book end.

 Here is a close up of the Box card. This one is quite invocative of an intimate relationship, see what the words invoke in your mind.....

 Really bad quality photo of another box card... quite an emotive quote.

"She broke off and wiped the corner of each eye with her silk handkerchief fastened
in the button of her black satin robe."

 My favourite Box Card that I will have to make more of, I imagine....

"You are my best friend."

 Here's a view of the 'New House' miniature before the scrolls have been added.
