Today's Autumn Blog Challenge question is...October 12 – What has been your favorite DIY project?
I have been working more and more on DIY lately and getting more and more adventurous. I want to put my indelible stamp on this home of mine, the home I sometimes feel is my partner in life as much as any human being has been.
I have a bunch to do here!
Lately I have been focusing on the smaller pieces that are artful to enjoy myself and to eventually throw out into the world and see if I can market them to bring in more money to do some of the larger DIY projects that are actually more like “real contractor” projects.
Lately I have been having a blast making paper roses. It
started with completely random paper roses and now it has become thematic (and
dare I say it) comical paper roses which I plan to work into some mixed media
art pieces. I’ll at least make one for my office wall and if other literary
types enjoy them, I will make more.
These lovely roses were crafted from a very popular English
101-style text book. I love this gem so
much I give it away to writing students
because I think everyone should have a copy.
The other cool thing about them is their tiny size and the fact I can work on them while I watch TV or in short 15 minute stints between other activities… plus the applications are endless.
It all makes me smile.
