Colourful circle work!

Inspired by a recent commission and several requests for more! ... I completed these Christmas decoration wreaths this afternoon.

Inspiration for the colour-theme of each wreath was derived from the colours featured in the patterned origami papers.  

Each wreath is handmade by me using a variety of different, colourful papers and features an origami dove Christmas tree decoration, a wooden bead and 1mm nylon thread.  I also made a stunning pastel-toned wreath using upcycled, thick, matte magazine paper.

All of these wreaths will be available for purchase from my Etsy shop tomorrow ... just in time for Christmas decorating! Head to ... www.karalynshaw.etsy.com

I love the geometry of the side profile of the 'stack' as much as the wreaths themselves!
