In the small coastal village in which my husband and I live, in one small street, every autumn, a young ginkgo tree flares up in an amazing display of colours. It is visible from far away and its bright yellow and soft orange nuances make me promise myself to make at least one similar branch from paper. I’m… Continue reading
I am one of the biggest supporters of the small urban home jungle movement. I don’t understand why people want big houses. They need so much to maintain and to worry about and the bills for electricity or heating are “eating” money from “travel and pleasure” budgets. Especially in times of crisis. Also, in some very… Continue reading
It is not a secret that paper plants are really having a big moment over the whole world. Years ago, observing how a public space landscape designer was mixing real and artificial plants in one of the biggest shops in my city, I was shocked! Really?!

Because they work everywhere – they are the perfect gift and decoration. And only by changing the colours – you can change their meaning too. Gentle spring colours will be great… Continue reading
Proteas are one of my favourite flowers. As you know, I grew up in Europe and even if we have all these amazing and beautiful flowers, we don’t have the “exotic” ones. For me, all the lands outside of Europe have such amazing plants, almost alien, which are impossible to not attract a flower lover’s… Continue reading
There is something about Peonies that attracts almost every woman. Maybe this is the specific messiness of the flower or maybe the huge variety of shapes and colour shades. Or could it be a reminder of a better time, a desire to return to the past in a beloved Granny’s garden in the past and… Continue reading
I still have a lot of wonderful cardboard packaging pieces from our IKEA kitchen island… And as you know, I am a paper addict, so I can hear them calling me to involve them in different projects. And what else to do in this day, when strong winds are blowing from the North and thick… Continue reading
Paper gives us very tactile and cerebral experiences at the same time. Thinking about paper throughout the span of history, we can imagine all the crafts and information, all the great discoveries written and saved on paper. And it is amazing how so many materials and uses are always changing, but paper and paper crafts… Continue reading
My husband and I are not general TV viewers, but there are some rare moments, when we feel like watching something – mostly when we’re stuck in a hotel room. And once we found the, “Through the worm hole” series with Morgan Freeman on Discovery Science and became fans. Recently, because of the Covid-19 situation… Continue reading
People say that the real crafter has no rubbish at home… So, after our new IKEA cupboards were installed in our kitchen, a huge pile of gorgeous cardboard was piled up in the corridor, I decided to behave like a real paper crafter. For almost a whole evening I was sitting on the floor with… Continue reading
