Watercolor Florals, An Antique Italian Painted Cabinet, and a Golden Quilling Motif.


We're already in April and this is the first post of 2015 on Kağıtlık.. It's atrocious, but I blame Instagram for it. It makes sharing snapshots so easy that my inborn laziness thrives on it. Never mind that I've not been able to create something worth sharing or making a blog post about in ages.

But here I am, and I have a couple of things to share. The rectangular white cardstock pieces I had left over from a big gift box order are still aplenty and they occasionally compel me to bring out the watercolors and paint some florals. Here are a few of them.






I don't remember exactly what I was looking for, but a while ago I found myself looking at some lovely antique painted furniture on Pinterest. I came across this lovely cabinet and decided to give the acrylic paints a try with it.



I used copy paper (drew one corner and transferred it to each side of the paper to complete the image) simply because I needed it to be as symmetrical as possible.








 Strangely, when you look at it after rotating it 90 degrees, it makes a pretty carpet design too.


And let me finish with a quilling design that came about on a weekday. Hopefully the next one won't take as many months..

Origami Zarf Yapımı - DIY Origami Envelopes - Business Card Holder


 
Etsy müşterilerime gönderdiğim paketlerin içine bu yaz etiketlerle birlikte bastırdığım kartları öylesine koymak pek içime sinmiyordu. Avare avare gezinirken Youtube'da harika orgimi videoları olan Leyla Torres'in iki dakikalık origami zarflarına rast geldim. Öyle zahmetsiz, öyle de sevimliler ki, kartları içine koymak için harika oldular. Dün bütün gün uğraşıp bir muhallefat transkripsiyonu bitirip, sabah ezanına kadar da okumalarımı tamamlayınca, hafiften uykusuzluğa rağmen pek huzurlu bir şekilde bloga geldim. Fotoğrafları çekmek o kadar kolay oldu ki bu kez, bu zarflara olan muhabbetim daha da bir arttı. :) Umarım sizin de işinize yararlar efendim.


Ne lazım?

İstediğiniz desende kağıt elbette. Kart koyacaksanız 15x15cm ideal boyut. Başka? Hiç. Bu kadar. Yalnızca kağıt! Kolay gele.

I was going through Leyla Torres's wondeful origami videos on Youtube when I stumbled upon these lovely origami envelopes. They're unbelievably easy and quick to make, and are especially perfect for holding your Etsy business cards, as I use them for mine. The only thing you need is 15x15cm scrapbook or origami paper. You can find the original video for this envelope, demonstrated by Torres, in the link an the bottom of this post. Enjoy!


Kağıdın ucu düz kenara tam gelmeyecek, yarım santim kadar yukarıda gelecek şekilde katlayın.
The tip of the paper you're folding will stop about half a cm short of the below edge.
Diğer katı da aynı şekilde, alttaki üçgenin ucundan yarım santim yukarıda kalacak şekilde katlayın.
Again, the tip of the second triangle will be half a cm short of the tip of the first triangle you're folding it over.
Her iki kenarı da üçgenin kenarlarına denk gelecek şekilde katlayın. İki uç biraz üst üste gelecek.
Fold both right and left side to align with the edges of the triangles. Their ends will overlap a little.
Sağ ucu sol tarafın "cebine" sokun (veya tersi). İnanır mısınız bilmem ama bitti bile.
Insert one end of the overlapping flaps into the other... and viola. It's done!

Zarfın rengine uygun bir parça washi tape'in de zararı olmuyor hani..
A coordinating colored washi tape doesn't hurt to wrap it all up visually.
