Oi

I am terrible at posting in a timely matter. Basically, I was a bit commitment happy this semester and took on waaaay too much stuff. I can handle all of it, but it definitely means less free time for me to craft.

Anyways, me and a trusty accomplice posted our first yarn bombs on Wednesday night. It was very exciting and no one questioned us (though the people of Karma Cream did give us some very strange looks). Here's the completed bobble bomb:

Today I'm checking to make sure they didn't get taken down and taking a less shitty picture. Hopefully this weekend I can finish bomb #3, which is some epically cute gator feet!

Office crafts: Paper snowflakes!

 Okay, so not REALLY a project, but this is essentially what I did all day last Wednesday and Thursday. I don't know if you can tell, but I was kind of bored.

I used this pattern and a lot of tape.

Eventually I stopped printing out the pattern and started reproducing it on envelopes. The one sided patterns gave a nice, subtle bit of detail to the final product.  

I really like reusing envelopes as patterned paper.  I work at an office so we get a lot of mail, and the insides of them vary a lot both in color and in pattern. I've used them in collages before and I've got some other project ideas floating around that I hope to use them for.

 

Of course, this tends to mean I look a bit crazy as I leave my office place clutching a bunch of empty envelopes, but at this point I'm beyond shame.

Completed project: Classifieds Bookmark

So in real life I work in the Classified Advertising department for a newspaper. I had to get a present for my boss, and... basically, I'm a big dork.
