Lizzy Wurmann: My way of living

Origami Pinwheel Video

As long as origami seems to be very tricky for me, I decided to make a video on how I did the pinwheel where I hid my 2016 resolutions and used it as a focal point on a layout.

 

 

Resolutions 2016

I can't remember when was the last time I did a layout, at least two years I guess. My focus was the origami piece with my 2016 resolutions and not very much on the design itself, even though I enjoyed adding textures and colors.

I have hard times following instructions with origami but I love it so when I saw this " Christmas wreath" I was determined to do it and hide in the pinwheel  form my thoughts.

I used a Paris napkin

On the reverse side are the resolutions

This is the original origami wreath where I wrote my resolutions

Time to transform the wreath into a pinwheel

 

 

 

 

Update on my YouTube Channel

Hi all,

Today my YouTube channel was hacked so if you tried to watch one of my videos you'll find it suspended. It could take weeks to restore it so in the meantime I'm starting a new one. When it's all set I'll let you know the link to it.

Thanks to all my friends who helped,  sent me messages, especially to Lisa Novogrodski who was all day long chatting with me!!!!

Hope to see you soon with a new video!

I've been tagged again!

Hi friends,

I've been tagged again by a great Hungarian artist, Ildiko Fodor-Wilson or MixedMediaMoments on YouTube. Please check her channel, you'll love her work! I'm in fault, she tagged me about three months ago and I decided to write a post instead of filming something so I can have this done.

I have to answer these questions:

1.-Most expensive crafting tool you use on a regular basis

Well, considering I live in Chile and I have to import EVERYTHING pay taxes and customs, all the supplies I use turn out to be very expensive for me (double price).

2.-Least expensive tool you use on a regular basis

I guess it is WATER!!!!

3.-Oldest item you made that you or someone you know still have. 

Almost 15 years ago I made "sort of a scrapbook album" with photos from a family vacation and I still have it, what a shame!!

4.-Crafting tool that was a waste of money

There are MANY tools I have bought I don't use or they were not worth it at all (for me of course), I think punches are the winners!!

5.-Crafting tool that was the best bargain

Not for me....

6.-Best storage idea you have implemented

I moved from my house to an apartment about 2 years ago and I designed a whole room to be my studio, so everything I store is there as I wanted to be.

7.-Most viewed YouTube craft video

 

8.-Least viewed YouTube craft video

 

9.-Item/items you stock up on every time or almost every time you go to the craft store

I have a few items that I stock due to the time it takes for me to get stuff from the United States (or elsewhere). All sort of foam dots, glue dots, adhesives in general, stamp pads and reinkers and cardstock.

10.- Favorite non craft store place to buy supplies/ items for crafting

By far Museums!!

11.- Craft you wish you could do but can't

Minialbums

12.-What's next in your craft tool wish list?

A binder tool

12.- What made you start a YouTube channel?

I never thought of filming anything I do but since I belong to Lindy's Stamp Gang and Scraps of Darkness DT's, one of my duties are to make tutorials.

Don't forget to visit Ildiko's channel!!

Love
