More Vintage Photo Fabric Creations
Continue ReadingAfter posting about my last failed attempt at altering a fabric vintage photo, of course, I stewed about how to fix it, how to start again, what to do differently – that’s what I do sometimes when I’m staring at my computer at work. Some people day dream about exotic vacations, or what they’re reading, […]

A Fabric Experiment
Continue ReadingAs you know, I’m a sucker for a sale. So, when Ivy Newport ran a super duper birthday sale (40% off!) on most of the classes on her website, I took advantage and purchased a class, Fabric in Time with mixed media artist Stephanie Rubiano. This was a class I camethisclose to purchasing at full […]

Not About the Eclipse
Continue ReadingI know, today is all about the eclipse, and here I am, inside blogging for the first time in two months. That’s what happens when you don’t get your NASA approved solar eclipse glasses – forced to finally blog. I’m just going to have to watch some shade from my window. Ah, now there’s some […]

Flowers, and Leaves and Wreaths, Oh My!
Continue ReadingWhen you get sucked into the handlettering community, you naturally get pulled towards what’s cool and popular in graphic design. Watercolor, wreaths, banners – it’s all big, and it’s all on Skillshare. As I mentioned before, at 99 cents for three months, you can’t go wrong, and I’ve particularly enjoyed the following group of classes […]

Back to School-ish
Continue ReadingAh, it’s that time of year again – when my Facebook feed is flooded with back to school photos, in a parade of endless backpacks and tight ponytails. Aside from the shock I felt when my one crafty Karate Kid niece appeared as a GASP cheerleader in my lead story, it’s all the same old […]

Craftsy on Steroids – Binge or Bust
Continue ReadingIn the beginning of October, Craftsy ran a $10/all you can watch for the month of October promotion. I didn’t get an email about it, and I didn’t see an ad for it, but someone posted about it in the Crafty Gemini Facebook group, and I ran, tripping to jump on that Craftsy train. I’m thinking that […]

Frida Fail
Continue ReadingOk, so I know that the real Frida Kahlo did have a bit of a shadow, perhaps a bit of mustache, however, on my little Frida, it looks more like an ingrown hair problem. As I predicted, the muslin I used was too thin for this project, and you can see the backside stitching pretty clearly […]

Right Now
Continue ReadingRight now, it’s really cold. Like -5 cold. Like it’s snowing again, on top of the 12 inches we already got, and it’s worthless because it’s not going to lead to a snow day, cold. It’s only leading to more cold. Ok, you get it, it’s cold. So, of course, cold=wool=knitting, and my Follow Your […]

29 Faces – Face 21
Continue ReadingWell, it’s the 29th day of March, and I’m only at Face 21. Doesn’t look like I’m going to make it – oh well. Face 21 took me what seemed like hours – there are so many layers of paint on this face, and I have no idea where they went, she still looks pretty […]
