Each year around this time I like to think of something Christmassy to make and share as a tutorial. This past weekend inspiration struck when I spotted a silvertone tree ornament at a J.Jill store... it seemed like it could be a quillable design.  

I'm all for giving readers what they want... last week's post about altered book snowmen proved to be popular so here's a round up of artisan-made tree ornaments that I have a feeling will be equally enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to hang one or all of these beauties on my tree!   Some can be ordered from website or Etsy links as finished ornaments; others are downloadable patterns/instructions for you to make as many as you like.   

A blog commenter asked if I could help with finding a book page snowman to display in her home. Because I love going down the rabbit hole when it comes to searching for paper projects, her request was right up my alley. While she wanted to purchase a ready-made one, I sent links to a few folded book patterns too, just in case she felt inspired to try crafting one herself. You might also, so here's my round up of snowman eye candy. 

Longtime readers will be familiar with the stylish origami jewelry made by Renata Mayumi Fukuda in Leipzig, Germany as I've featured her fine work a number of times here on the blog. She wrote to introduce the newest styles and patterned papers that have been added to her Etsy shop, Mayumi Origami , and I knew immediately that I wanted to share them with you.... they're just so chic, not to mention perfectly folded.

Look away if you must, but because it's Halloween I can't help but show you these realistic and very cool specimens that I came across at Moth & Myth , a wildly popular laser cut paper shop. 

In case you've never come across the lovely quilling that Miriam of Miriam's Quilling in Târgovişte, Romania creates, I know you'll enjoy being introduced to her art. I can only imagine the hours she puts in each day producing excellent teaching videos for her YouTube channel, Miriam's Quilling , while also creating the handmade quilled art and digital downloads that fill her Etsy shop .
