Desk Space

I found this awesome Alexander Henry fabric at a discount store in Cypress. I bought a yard, not knowing what I wanted to do with it. Then I thought it would make cool skirt, so I went back a week later to buy more. Unfortunately it was ALL gone...Sad pants. So, then I decided to decorate my desk with it. I feel very inspired in my space again.





On another note! Here is my attempt at making an eye. Not my favorite so far. I think I like noses best.

Clay ears

Oh my, October is already here.

Here is my attempt at making ears.

LA Detour

What should you do when your stuck in traffic on the 5 North? You get off and go to Home Ec! I found awesome Japanese Import fabric and hand dyed wool!

Shnaz

I'm super stoked! I've learned how to make a nose. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the model. The nose looks like it belongs to a male, but it should have been a females. LOL

I've made a friend

This little guy was relaxing on my lamp shade!

Hand Spun Yarn

Last year, I purchased fiber from Artfibers, but I didn't really finish spinning the yarn until tonight. There are some portions of the yarn that are thicker than others, but I hope my next try will look a lot better.

Day of the Dead Purse

My aunt bought me this wonderful Day of the Dead fabric at Joann's while we were selecting a fabric for her make up bag. As for the lining, my best friend, L, gave me Muppets fabric for my birthday and I thought that it might be fun to use it as lining. I was right, it turned out awesome! I found the bag pattern here for those who are interested.




The pattern was really easy to follow, even if you are a newbie like me. The only trouble I had was with the straps. I sewed them in the inside, so when I turned the bag inside out, the straps were left sandwhiched between the lining and the exterior....oops! That's why there is a seam ripper, right? Tee hee. Well, I have been enjoying my free craft time. Soon, I will be a slave to school and I will be spending a great deal of time in the embalming and restorative art labs. Yay! (well...I find it exciting)
