Gifts for friends














These were given as a gift for a birthday, wedding, and house-warming party.


Mini succulent goes well with the lamp.

Fan shaped lamp



My teacher painted it herself.

Wedding Gift -- Medium Square Lamp





A wedding gift for my best friend.


The paper doll goes well with the lamp.

Christmas Gift -- Three Flower Buds







This was made for Mike who was my ex-coworker. He sent it to his mom in Australia for a Christmas gift. The paper on the shade has pressed leaves.

Ceiling lamp

It can be used as a ceiling lamp. Good interior for Asian restaurants.

Coffee table










The patterns around the frame and inside are all hand-carved with a knife. Originally this paper was black but decolorized to yellow and gold. A cover glass will be an option.

Little drawer






This was inspired by a card cover.

Two Flower Buds -- My Favorite








This has a photo frame, and the dog that was missing from the house posted below is playing here. :-)




House and the moon




This is an old-fashioned Korean house.


Two pumpkins are resting on the roof and a bird nest is on the tree. There was a cute dog, but he's not available in this photo. :-p Two lamp shades look like the moon. Colored with Korean watercolors. The lamps have little holes, and they glow like stars in the dark.



Ball or pumpkin shaped bin






This straw looking bin is originally made for a rice-bin. Because it is all made of paper, it removes moisture and keeps out of rice weevils. But it also stores tons of clothes. :-) Very practical. A bird is lying on the lid as well. Oh, leaves are pressed on the paper used inside.

Floor Lamp








Five flowers have cute flower patterns.

Round Flower Buds -- Love the colors!



I liked the color contrast of red and green.


Gathers are added on the Green Shades.
