Froebel paper stars! I was trying to make a larger sphere like the kind shown here, but due to very poor planning/spatial thinking I made a spiky box shape instead haha. I didn’t have enough stars of the same color so two of them are off. I used hot glue for all for all of the star balls, but it was horribly messy! I need to find an alternate to gluing the star balls together.

I made these using this tutorial. I tried making a bigger version with more stars, but I botched the pattern and made a spiky box instead haha.

Okay, so I’m on Pinterest now :C I’m not that good at juggling so many social networking/blogging websites. BUT a friend recommended it to me to make collecting inspiration photos and ideas for my wedding a lot easier. As it was I was stuffing images into a Word file haha. Anyway, I’m here if you’re interested.

I’ve been really busy and distracted lately, so nothing new really, except for the crapton of Froebel stars I’ve been making *v* Hopefully I’ll have time to make new art things soon.

Strung onto sterling silver wire and dipped in lacquer. This was an idea I had a long time ago that never took off. I’ll see if I can give it another go.
