Ordered some paper flowers from Scrap-N-Crop's sale last week. They arrived a couple days ago. Found myself happily experimenting on a Christmas card design (Christmas after all is a couple months off ...). This is a 'prototype' mixed media design. From paper flowers, buttons, corrugated paper, to acrylic flowers, butterflies, ribbons and sheer frills.
Realised one can't possibly leave the Christmas card making till the last minute ... if i wanted individualised personal designs. Knowing how I work ... when given a limited time frame, all creativity and innovation goes out the window .... one goes with what works. Functional. Almost always that means less frills (and thrills?).
I've made TWENTY cakes in one weekend (yes all on my own!) ... From that experience, sometimes when push comes to shove, a passionate hobby can turn into a laborious task! Enough to put you 'off' for a while ... I know ... after that twenty cake episode, I didn't even want to see, touch or smell chocolate/cheese/fruit cakes for a little while ... :P
Having said that, am still happily baking - another hobby on the side of this absorbing fancy of papers and fabrics.
