Doilies

Motif #1

Motif #2

Here are two tatted doilies made what feels like an eternity ago! The tatting craze had just begun. :)

Mark a book!

Well, for most students, boredom means classes, n even though we dont (really!) advertise doing all this in class, we indeed did all this in class.
Out of sheer boredom, we started folding and cutting paper, which soon became like a pastime for most classes. The cutouts started becoming more and more intricate and we ended up making bookmarks with them. All we needed to do was paste them on hard, coloured paper.
This technique doesnt require any specialisation, as you can see how even the most basic designs can look pretty when set against the right background :)
P.S. we did the cut-outs on the thin notebook papers. You can try with different papers and share your experience :)

Namaste!

Man is always bursting with ideas. Always. The best ones arise from boredom; like this blog! :)

Q: What is this blog about? 

A: Paper crafts, tatting, crochet, doodling, and every other possible craft on the planet!

Now if you wandered here thinking it was about Alice in Wonderland (the blog’s name derived from the infamous twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee), don’t be disheartened! We hope you develop a new found interest for random crafts.

Note:

This is our hobby. We don't sell anything we make and a lot of what we’ve done is based on pictures we’ve spotted floating in cyberspace through time. So, if you find a design that’s yours and we haven’t given credit, please do leave a comment. :)
