Origami starbucks wallet

I was recently asked to make an Origami wallet made from a Starbucks paper bag following a youtube video somebody had made and it turned out quite well:

It’s not too tricky and quite fun to make! Here’s the link if you’d like to have a go:

Work in progress- creating a miniature 3D origami dragon

Currently doing an order for a 3D origami miniature dragon. Here are a couple of photos of work in progress!

3D Origami frog

I thought I’d share with you one of my recent(er) makes- a custom commission for a 3D Origami frog (including a fly!) Unfortunately I was unable to sell him at the time and still have him but it was a fun to create anyway! The design is based on one I found online plus my own additions and alterations!

New Badge Designs!

Today I thought I’d share some of my new badge designs with you! All of these have been made using vintage illustration prints and I think have turned out rather well!

Vintage Literature- Tom Tufton’s Toll by Evelyn Everett-Green (Chapter 1-A summons)

A bit of a different post today- been looking through my vintage literature collection and thought it would be a fun idea to share a chapter of a book with you once a week- a bit like a serial! The book is in the public domain as the author and illustrator both died more than 70 years ago. Feel free to use parts of the text  in your own projects!

Tom Tufton’s Toll by Evelyn Everett-Green. Published 1898.
