I made these little snowmen recently for a magazine submission. I couldn't decide if I wanted to submit something for this challenge, and went back and forth about it. I had so much going on at the time they were due, but I had the idea (which is half the battle, don't you think?) and decided I wouldn't be happy with myself if I didn't at least try. But the deadline for the acceptance notification has come and gone with no word (shucks!), so I thought it would be OK to share them now. I'm still glad I made the effort.
They were created with fusion paper (made with paper napkins, paper towels, hand painted paper, glitter), then sewn and embellished with vintage costume jewelry and strips of old sweater and old silk sari. The faces were painted on with gesso and magic marker.
I'm at the beach (yay!) but even these little guys won't melt here.

Hello! I'm Trina and this is the blog for The Paper Flea Market (which is becoming Jubilee Flea next month!) My online store and studio specializes in paper + fun old stuff. In addition to being a shopkeeper, I'm an artist and paper enthusiast. I adore paper and old things and see potential in everything. My artwork includes greeting cards, art journals, mixed media pieces and clever handmade home decor, and has been published in "Country Living", "Somerset Life", "Art Journaling" and "Greencraft" magazines. My cards were included in the book "1000 Handmade Greetings" and can currently be found at specialty boutiques across the country. I also sell my work at pop-up boutiques and flea markets. Please contact me for show dates and locations and for wholesale card orders at thepaperfleamarket@yahoo.com
