I don’t really know where I got the idea of doing polymer clay art as a hobby, but I’m starting to like it. I’m a web designer by profession, so it’s a huge help to relax and “diversify” whenever I get the dreaded creative block brought on by stress and overworking.
I’ve made this small thing for my aunt last Christmas. I don’t know what it means, but it only has two purposes: as a decor, or as a paperweight. I’m still a novice at this. Hopefully the next one will be a hell lot more functional! 
I’ve been meaning to blog about this during the holiday break, but I just kept on forgetting to take photos of the finished paper sculpture 
Anyway, last Christmas, my sister and I decided we wanted a snowman.
Unfortunately, snow is not something we have here in the Philippines. It never snows here! Our solution? Make a snowman out of paper mache.
I didn’t want to go through the tiring process of mashing up newspaper pulp to make our sculpture.

My sister and I don’t always put up the Christmas tree. For sure, last year, we didn’t. It’s just too much of a hassle putting the tree and everything else back in the storage. But this year, we finally have a household help so it’s time for the tree to shine once more!
We’ve already put up the tree when we realized important stuff missing: the Christmas tree decors! As it turned out, the decors were thrown out when they were damaged during the flood when Typhoon Ondoy hit a few years back. The last time we put up the tree was before Ondoy, so it’s no surprise we’d totally forget we had no baubles 
It wasn’t often I get free time to work on the tree (so many things to do at work before Christmas break), so I really didn’t want to stop just because we were missing “a few” stuff. Luckily, I had some left over materials from our previous art projects, as well as old Christmas decors ready to hit the trash. Check out what my sister and I came up with… ( Read more )
