Looking for a creepy cool costume idea for Halloween? Check out these DIY low poly paper Halloween masks from Smaga Paperwood, a Polish paper shop that specializes in detailed DIY wood and paper creations for the home and head.

I’ve gotta be honest. I would almost certainly run for my life and probably pee my pants a little bit if I was out for a walk in the woods and saw someone wearing one of these masks. But, as I was running away, I’d totally be thinking, “hey, that was a really cool mask.”

Check out all of Smaga Paperwood’s low poly paper Halloween masks and wall hangings right here.

I am so diggin’ these fantastic, illustrated art prints by Jessica Hogarth.The color, the texture, the pattern! So many great little details going on in Jessica’s work.

The seaside and architectural-themed art prints would look great on the walls of so many rooms – I’m thinking nautical nurseries, modern offices, and by-the-sea-themed bathrooms, among others. And definitely hop on over to Jessica’s shop because she has oodles of additional art print designs, as well as greeting cards, coasters, and textiles that feature her wonderful work.

I Made a Skillshare Class!

September 23, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

When the peeps at Skillshare first approached me about doing an online class, my fight or flight response kicked into flight mode, big time. But life is about pushing your comfort zone, so I went for it!

My mini class, Faceted Paper Art : Create a Geometric Art Piece, just went live, and I had a lot of fun putting it together. The technique that you’ll learn in this little class can be applied in so many ways, too, so it’s crafty and versatile!

I hope that you’ll head on over to Skillshare and check it out. And who knows? You may be seeing more classes from me in the future.
