I recently made some decoupage coasters. I've done some rough decoupage using newspaper before, and this is the first time I used napkins for decoupaging. It's quite a different experience because of how thin the napkins are. Here's how they turned out - I'd made coasters earlier using polymer clay, but for decoupage, I used… Continue reading Decoupage Coasters

Leafy Ring Dishes | Art Elements
I almost don't remember when I last played in the monthly challenges hosted by the Art Elements team. Challenge host for this month, Caroline, chose the theme Foliage, and I was sure I wouldn't find much time for creativity this month either.

Table Makeover
My break from jewelry making continues, and I thought I could spruce up my work table while I'm not using it to work on jewelry. The front of this table's drawers were white earlier, and though I didn't really dislike that, some color would definitely make the table cheerier to look at. My sister has… Continue reading Table Makeover
