A quiet afternoon at home and this is what kept me busy....I have confessed my fetish for handmade paper here and I also shared with you all the gift wrapping for my sister's wedding. Well, it was time to make use of all the left over scraps that I carried back with me from India.
The scraps of block printed hand made paper...
A very inexpensive wooden mirror from Ikea
mod podge and a brush...
I cut the paper into smaller pieces and then randomly arranged them to get an idea of the pattern.
And then I got to work.... the messy part with the mod podge. See the detailed technique here.
