Inspiration + experiment = creation

Last week, I was reading one of my favorite blogs 'The red thread' by Lisa Tilse. I love to visit it because it's an amazing source of inspiration, it bursts of creativity & it has this whimsical twist that I love! Last monday I bumped into this post that inspired me to make this...

a paper boat
a fabric boat drenched in clay slib
a kiln fired ceramic boatDo you think I will need to take up origami soon? :)

Happy sunday everyone!
I'll be at a craftfair today and hope I can show you some pictures tommorrow! :)
And I'll draw a winner for the give-away when I get back from the fair so you can still enter here...

    Hi musty: You know what: I'll come and learn how to work with clay and I'll teach you how to fold origami! It was a passion for me when I was about 12-15 yrs old. I still know some things by mind how to fold and I hvae several books with examples and instructions.
    I hope you had a good fair!

    Oh wow, amazing; glad my le petit bateau kits inspired you so. I would be very pleased if I could string a row ceramic 'paper' boats.

    Thanks for the shout out Mitsy. I love to visit your blog too, so the feeling is more than mutual!
    Your little boat creations are just lovely. There's something lovely about that simple shape.
