Inspired by some go green program, few months ago I wanted to make something useful from used materials, and the easiest material to use is waste paper...I've tried using old newspapers for making vases, etc ... but I could not succeed..I found it hard to make. Then, I decided to make something using quilling techniques, but I found it was difficult too...I wasn't satisfied with the color (I think the color didn't have enough contrast)...so, I finally use those quillings to decorate a pen holder that made from old milk box and used ice cream sticks...and I still didn't satisfied with the result.  |

The next experiment was woven paper technique. I made a little basket with old magazine papers..and it turned out that the basket was good enough..for me :D and now, I use that basket to put coins.
Next, inspired by the work of a quiller I saw on the Going Green Crafters & Artists blog, I finally tried to make one work that using unused paper brochures .. and eventually, I did it!!! I mad a basket of flowers, still far from perfect it is (I guess I have no skill in flowers arranging :D), especially the color settings ... so it looks less contrast between one flower to another ... but that's okay, at least I feel satisfied with what I've made today. Hopefully someday I can make better projects with this raw material.

nah, berikutnya, terinspirasi dari karya seorang quiller yang sempat saya lihat di blog Going Green Crafters & Artist, akhirnya saya mencoba membuat satu karya yang manfaatkan kertas brosur yang tidak terpakai..akhirnya jadi sebuah keranjang bunga, masih jauh dari sempurna memang (rasanya saya memang tidak berbakat merangkai bunga :D ), terutama pengaturan warnanya...sehingga terlihat kurang kontras antara satu bunga dengan yang lain...tapi tidak apa-apa, paling tidak saya merasa puas dengan apa yang sudah saya buat hari ini. mudah-mudahan nanti saya bisa menghasilkan karya lain yang lebih baik lagi dengan bahan baku ini.
