washi+papercutting

this morning, i have attended my first papercutting workshop, ably conducted by super crafter Mansy of Hey Kessy.

i went in with mixed feelings of excitement and anxiety.  the only paper cutting i have done were the ones using scissors! once, i have tried doing something intricate with a craft cutter but… let’s move on

but as soon as i have entered the room and saw how nice and crafty the set-up is, my anxiety went away and excitement took over!

thank you Mansy for hosting the workshop. you made us feel so relaxed during the entire time.  you’ve been very helpful to everyone in the class.

the washi booth was eye candy

here are some of the completed projects from the class

here’s the winning work from my seatmate Buhawe. yey!

of course, we didn’t leave without a class picture

oh, by the way, this is what i came up with

and oh, i just could not resist ’em washis! so i ended up going home with these new lovelies!

much fun today!  ’till the next workshop Mansy!

P.S.  papercutting is addictive!  as soon as i got home, i opened my workshop kit and started on another project. here it is.
