HI ALL!! I’ve finally finished it!! It’s finally done! I’m very proud to finally share the pattern to make your own pop up inn!
You can get one that’s already coloured in or a black and white one if you want to colour it in yourself! There’s also a (slightly messy) guide to show you how to make it.
If anyone makes one of their own please show me, I’d love to see it! 🩷
Also please let me know if the link doesn’t work
FANTASTIC crafts, it’s unbelievable, astonishing => http://ldhenson.deviantart.com/
Title: A Study in Paper
Artist: ldhenson @ deviantart
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
======
Rec: I love how the artist has made these pieces 3-dimensional by turning up the collars and ‘fluffing’ the hair, echoing the authentic quirks of the each figure. Even without the facial details, these are completely recognizable and convey the essence of each character beautifully.
WOW 🤩

How do you stop your fingers from getting sticky with glue? Maybe I’m just using the wrong glue but it’s a big problem for me with my papercraft
hiya! Honestly i too cannot escape getting glue on my fingers, I just make sure to wash them when I notice they're getting to be a problem.
I use Lineco pH-Neutral PV glue, which is pretty fast-drying. So while yes, I do need to wash my fingers from time to time, really they just get kind of tacky and start accumulating dust and graphite, becoming a fingerprint hazard.
When pieces are really small I put a dab of glue on the end of a safety pin, then touch it to the paper piece to pick it up and maneuver it into place. More of a way to work with teeny bits of paper, but it does mean less glue on the fingers as a nice bonus!
Much luck papercrafting! 'u'
Playing around
Preview of my newest papertoy: Crowley from Good Omens (tv-series version), finally joins his mate.
I'm yet to build his, so photos of finished figure to follow, other characters + book versions too, so stay tuned.

So here is a recreation of the very first GO2 poster as my contribution to @gomenseveryday event! It was very fun to work with and I'm really glad I had a chance to participate :)
Also, as a side note, yesterday officially marked 4 years since I first watched GO and joined the fandom, wahoo!
A gift for a friend from all the way back when Gaia Online was a relevant thing

Brought papercrafted innefable husbands again :) Hope you'll like them
There’s a trick they do with one pea and three shells, or with playing cards, which is very hard to follow, and something like it, for greater stakes than a handful of loose change, is about to take place…
My second Good Omens papercraft! The inspiration for this was wanting to use playing cards for the babies’ blankets. A friend gave me three – a blue one, a red one, and the delightfully demonic orange one in the stained glass panels. Sisters Mary Loquacious and Theresa Garrulous are here too, ready to botch a baby-swap, and perhaps one day I will make a papercraft with Crowley being happy?? I worked about 26 hours cumulatively on this, whew! It’s 5x7 inches.
I’ve put work in progress shots and some gabbling about the process under the cut:
Heyyy how about some Christmas papercraft with innefable husbands??
It was made as a gift and now it's finally got by recipient so I can publish it.
And of course some backstages because i like backstages:

what if the gardener picked violets for the nanny?
The first papercut piece I’ve managed to finish this year, this was my (rather late) entry for the ineffable wives discord gift exchange. My giftee was @princessdianaartemis, and one of their prompts was ‘ineffable godparents’. I had a LOT of fun making this, and I really hope you like this!! <3
omg PLEASE can I see a close-up of the plant mister?????? this piece is INCREDIBLE
Thank you!! And haha sure, here's a picture from the wip thread! (I saw your reblog, and yess, I’m glad someone noticed the refracted straw!)
the cheapest, tiniest plant mister on the market today
Some Good Omens South Downs sentimentality. <3
I’ve been working on this papercraft off and on since February! I did a looong work-in-progress thread over on my twitter, you can start here: zeeteeart/status/1232079833083105281/photo/1
It was fun making bitty potted plants and books and other things Aziraphale and Crowley would like and slowly filling this little roombox! Digging into my paper collection to find interesting textures and patterns and prints was great, too. The rug, lamp, curtains, blanket, and Aziraphale’s waistcoat all use William Morris designs from a postcard set I got last year, I think they suit him well! The prints on the wall are from some auction catalogs I scrounged up during college, from l-r there are Ducks, Still Life With Apple And Feather (!!!), A Couple At Night, a Pieta, and a Planetarium. The wood grain papers are some of my favorites, they were packing material for lampshades at an old job of mine. I will use any interesting scrap I can find!
Getting a digital copy of this papercraft proved extremely difficult; turns out my new scanner just isn’t up to my standards for papercraft scans, so I had to convince my iPod to take nice photos and then coax them better in photoshop. The diffuse sunlight of about 6:45pm turned out to be exactly what I needed, whew!
5x7 inches, completely lost track of how many hours it took.
Hey, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for their kind words!! Here, I put together a little diagram showing where I got a bunch of the papers, ‘cuz I love gabbling about it:
The papyrus is really real (I love that some people are seeing it as tartan-patterned, what a great bonus!), I bought it in college for my thesis project. The plants are various earthy mulberry papers and papers with leaves embedded, etc. The philodendron on the right is a thick cottony paper that was wrinkled and then painted, so I was able to cut leaves with extra dimension! The books use paper from all across my collection, like scrapbook pages, sample business cards, wrapping paper, more chiyogami and William Morris cards, etc etc. I was so pleased when I found that black woodgrain paper for Crowley’s jeans, and then half the time spent trying to photograph this piece was spent zooming in to make sure the texture was visible!

Whaddaya know, it’s been 10 years since I started papercrafting. I’ve learned so much over the years!
Shout out to the teacher in my second semester review back in freshman year who looked at my Coloraid studies from 2D design and said “you have good craft!“ It gave me that spark of confidence to pursue papercrafting for fun!
