Fun Having Cross Stitch

       I started trying to do cross stitch when my mom showed me some of her finished work. I got interested with it. So I asked her if I can try doing some. It's fun to work with it. It took a long time finishing it. I was working with two cross stitches. The first one is a bit hard. The other one, I'm done with it. It is just so simple.

How Paper is Recycled

   Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.

Paper is a versatile material with many uses. Whilst the most common is for writing and printing upon, it is also widely used as a packaging material, in many cleaning products, in a number of industrial and construction processes, and even as a food ingredient – particularly in Asian cultures.

Paper, and the pulp papermaking process, was said to be developed in China during the early 2nd century AD, possibly as early as the year 105 A.D.,^[1] by the Han court eunuch Cai Lun, although the earliest archaeological fragments of paper derive from the 2nd century BC in China.^[2]
   
      It is Christmas and my parents are looking for a gift. The gift is a paper recycling kit. She saw this gift in Amazon. When we opened it, I was happy because I love to make these things.

   

Faber Castell Visited Our School

      Last week, when we were in school, I saw some people fixing some things in the court. They were from Faber Castell. Our teacher said that we need to get one old pencil and they are going to exchange it with a new pencil. We did some activities. First, we watched some videos on how they make pencil, pen, eraser and many more. They also showed us the things we can do with the connector pens.

Connector pens can be connected -- just for fun.

      They taught us drawing techniques like pointillism, contouring, and patterning. They asked us to draw pictures using the techniques and they picked some drawings and they gave some prize.

       They told us to trace our hand and we are going to put some designs. After this they told us to trace our shoes and put again some designs. They call this as ''shoe fish''. In these drawings, we used the connector pens. In the first drawing, the trace of hands, I was chosen and I was given a pencil and a pen. In the shoe fish, I was chosen again and I was given again a pencil and a pen. I was happy. It was fun. I will show you my artwork.

       The connector pens are beautiful pens. The pencil was also beautiful because it is not easily broken. The pen was also beautiful because the ink was not easily finished. I always use the Faber Castell pen and pencil. My pen, pencil, and eraser are all Faber Castell. This type of brand is good.

Paper Clay Activity

One time, my mother's finding something and suddenly she found the paper clay. Unfortunately, we can't do it because the paper clay was already dry. When my aunt is with my mother in Market Market, my mom remembered that the paper clay is already dry.

We are already trying to do the first paper clay activity. It was fun because not only me was the one who tried to do it but almost all of the family. We finished it first before we proceeded to another paper clay activity.

First Paper Clay Activity

When we finished the first paper clay activity, we already proceeded to another paper clay activity. In this paper clay activity, we didn't buy it, we just bought illustration board and wrote something in it with a marker. Then we started to put paper clay on it.

Nothing To Do So...

One night, we are from our grandfather's house. When we arrived home, my sister and I decided to make posters but my sister doesn't know yet on how to make posters. With that, I tried to teach my sister.

These are the posters we did.

This is what I made

And this is what my sister did

Cabinet Made Of Shoebox

Last week, we saw in YouTube that there is a tutorial on how to make a cabinet out of shoebox. We took two hours to finish it. Now, this is the end product, the cabinet made up of shoebox.

Trying to Make Posters

One night, my mother shared with me a website that teaches how to do posters, Facebook pages and many more. I tried making posters for a new experience. Here are two of my creations. I will be making more some other time.
