How I Store My Paper Pearls


Katsastin vähän paperihelmivalikoimaani uuden avainketjun kokoamista varten ja otin samalla kuvia lokerikosta, jossa niitä säilytän. Tästä näkee ainakin helposti, mitä värejä on jäljellä. En tiedä, mikä tämän lokerikon alkuperäinen tarkoitus on ollut. Ehkä meikkien säilytys? Sopii kuitenkin hyvin helmille ja muille pienille koru- ja askartelutarvikkeille. Samantyyppisiä lokerikkoja myydään esim. Sinellissä ja Ikeassa.




I was checking my paper pearl collection for making a new key chain, and I took photos of this compartment storage where I keep my paper pearls. I'm not sure what its original purpose was. Maybe it's a make-up organizer? Anyhow, it works well for storing pearls and other little jewellery or crafty supplies. I can keep different colors of pearls in their own compartments to quickly see the colors I have. And it looks pretty.

How to Transfer Sketch onto Painting Surface

Image
As I've mentioned before, I don't usually draw my sketches for paintings straight onto watercolor paper or canvas. I draw the sketch on a separate paper, where it's easier to erase and clean up the outlines and then transfer the finished sketch onto my painting surface. In this  blog post I'll list five different methods to transfer your drawing onto the painting surface. They're all either cheap or completely free. Some require a computer or other technology and some don't. So hopefully, if you're struggling with how to transfer your sketches, one of these methods (or a combination of some of them) will suite your budget and the supplies you already have available.
