Independent craft blog since 2007
Save your scraps of pretty patterned paper (or create some of your own decorative papers) to make these little dolls. I used scrapbooking paper, origami paper, and some that I created by stamping or simple brushwork. I made these with groups of pre-schoolers who are studying about Japanese culture. They seem to work best with patterns that almost clash.
If you like your school work with a touch of creepy darkness you’re probably into Dark Academia. Books, home decor, clothes and so much more have turned to the dark side with a bit of Goth mixed with old British school uniforms, creepy classrooms and items you’d find in vintage museums in this trendy style that’s perfect for Halloween. Dover Publications is offering up Dark Academia: A Coloring Book with detailed pages of decor and design that will keep you up at night (coloring them all in).
