looking through for some inspiration :)

Crafternoon

Crafternoon is this event invented by a lovely friend Genie Uribe. We gather together and get our craft on. The first Crafternoon was making yarn Wreaths. I'm pretty sure everyone who attended has always wanted to make one but never got around to actually making one. So this was a great opportunity to get together/hangout and actually sit down and make one of these suckers. It was so much fun and I can't wait until the next time!
Here are some pics: (forgive the poor photo quality...again. it would seem that I am never prepared.)

i made some books

The thing I love about school is making things you probably wouldn't have figured out on your own. Learning. Obvious I know, but I am forced to finally make these things for a grade. My first Sketch Book Journal [class] assignment was to make a sketch book. I made two. One for me and one for m'girl Chanti. She is a huge supporter of my art, creative process and schooling. So it was only natural to make one for her. I decided it would be perfect for her birthday! tada! It came out beautiful. My class was in love with hers. holla.
I really enjoyed making these books, and I know I want to make some in the future for fawn/my shop [whatever it is shaping up to become]. Here are some pics from start to finish. Not as many like a step by step because....I was in class and then I look like a crazy taking pics the whole time.

forgive the quality of photo. I did not have my camera on me that day!

red case

I've been searching Etsy for a neat hard drive case...no luck. All the cool ones where for iPads and iPhones. I decided to make my own. I'm pretty pleased with the result..I'm going to try and make a small pocket on the front for the cable...we'll see if it works out. here are some pics.

Felt and Wire

I was mentioning to a friend a few days/weeks (not sure which) ago about these prints with lovely script, and for the life of me I could not remember who they were by. Wah-wah! I stumbled upon one of them online and followed many links and BAM- Felt and Wire. They're actually sold there but created by Tag Team Tompkins. So glad to have found it. I'm always playing with cursive, so this is definitely inspiring.  Check it out!

foxy

Hope your Monday has been smooth. I've been a little stressed, but what else is new. The stress derives from anxiety about my class assignments. lame. I had to use a new medium (gouache) and for some strange reason that was freaking me out. embarrassing. 

 I pray that God give me the confidence in my abilities on a regular basis. My small group [husband and family]  pray for me too, and they are very encouraging. Amen. Always good to have a support system!

I just completed my assignment for tomorrow morning's class and I feel antsy and cannot sleep. I am bit wired. lol I'm glad to have completed it though. I know I'll get enough sleep, which makes a huge difference in tomorrow's presentation! Wish me luck friends. 

Here's a neat illustration I stumbled upon.

Enjoy. Stay foxy.
