My Craftworks from the past.

Beadings:
These are some of the crafts I do with beadings. I found this type of craft very interesting and difficult to learn at first. I see many types of beading out there and I can only do the simple ones.














Sewing:
Needlework is a very skillful type of crafting as well. I have been taught how to sew by my grandmother when I was very small (although not very good or as good as her). Afterwards when I was in elementary school, I had to take a "Family Study" course that requires us to do needlework and cooking. Aside, I also did woodworking/wood too but I threw my masterpiece away, so I don't have any to show now. Here are some of the stuff I did with needling.

















Origami/Paper Folding:
This has to be my all time favourite. I find that this type of crafting very fasinating and complicated as well. Who knows that a single piece of paper with a few folds here and there can turn into such a beautiful thing. Here are some of the things I made in the past few years.






 










These are like puzzle origami where you make many pieces and put them together one by one. The amount of time spend to do one of these is incredible. It can range from over 6-10 hours or even a few days depending on the size of it. Of course I would not sit there to finish it in one day. I usually would take a few days to a week to do one of these projects, also it would depend on the amount of time I have...cuz I do have other things to do.











These roses the best I have made so far. I really like them very much because they look very realistic compare to the ones I made before. I have to say, I'm very impressed. So far, I know how to fold 5 different types of roses. (two other types are seen 2 photos above this one).
