Celtic grimoire

A grimoire is a magic book, but this one can be anything you like: a diary, a cook book, an organizer or anything else.

Originally an ordinary A5 blank book, it was covered in paper and cardboard, which would otherwise end up in the recycle bin, imitating leather and metal. The weave is actually woven and I think I've made every possible mistake before getting it right and the way I wanted it! :)

Owl lamp

I love using old things to make new ones. I had those two old potato-masher discs in the attic and as soon as I saw them the idea of making this owl came to mind. The disks are, therefore, the eyes and the body is made from a can of pineapple covered with cardboard from a pizza box and painted to look like old rusted metal.

Old bejeweled box from Atlantis

Don't be fooled, this is neither old nor metallic! The metal parts (except for the lock and hinges) are all just painted cardboard!

Believe it or not, this took me almost two full working days to finish and that's not even counting the drying times. But I had lots of fun doing it and hope to do some more in this style.

Wall art

Toilet paper rolls, acrylics and glue! I loved the idea and the outcome, so I have lots of ideas for more projects, I just have to collect many more rolls!

Walnut flowers

What to do when you have too many walnuts? I suggest walnut cake and these flowers, which always go well in a bouquet.

Fabric leftovers tote

A tote bag made from leftovers from the sewing industry.

Plastic bag bag

Made from ordinary plastic bags cut to thin strips and crocheted. The real colour is slightly less bright.

Plastic bag purse

Supermarket bags get a new use! Cut to thin pieces and then crocheted to make this purse for my mom.
