I made this...

MAWM - March 2009 - Paper


MAWM - March 2009 - Paper

Thought I'd join in with Pip's 'Free things Friday' and have a go at winning her book! This is the diorama I made a some time ago when I participated in the Make-along with Mike Paper month. It was so much fun to make and considering I featured the book in the diorama, I thought it would be fitting for me to post it as my entry! It's also what inspired me to take the plunge and begin blogging. More detailed photos can be found here.

Make sure you check out Pip's blog and see all the other clever people that make things!

Day One


So I have finally taken the plunge into the big world of blogging. It will be interesting to see how often I find the time to post to it. Hopefully I will be able to do it fairly often because I intend to focus my blog on things I make be it craft, sewing or cooking. Still I don't always find the time to do even those things but I am crossing my fingers that it will be often enough to make this worthwhile.

Now what got me started on all of this was a need to be able to post what I make. I recently participated in the Meet Me At Mikes 'Make-along with Mike' activity of paper for the month of March. Pip has asked people to link what they make on their blog to her website and, well, I didn't have one. So I have decided it's time and I will start off with my diorama of a 'cosy corner' which I posted on the 'Make-along with Mike' pool on Flickr.

I don't know exactly what it was that made me think of making a diorama. Because I am so busy I don't often have the time to get lost in creative thought anymore. What drew me to the 'Make-along with Mike' pool was the fact that there was a set task in place. This means that the medium is taken care of all I had to do was add the imagination. It kind of reminds me of art in highschool. You show up to class and the teacher says 'this week we are going to be doing lino prints' and off you go...and that's exactly what I did!
