Midnight Crafting

My favorite one yet!

Totally Unnecessary Poof. ♥

Lately my crafting urges have been coming late at night, brilliant ideas strike me as I'm preparing for bed and I just HAVE to do it now or it will never be done. In my artistic mind, 2 am is the PERFECT time to be color coordinating beads with fabric flowers.

My dear friend Amy (who is quite crafty herself) taught a group of us how to make several different types of fabric flowers and I am now obsessed with these cute accessories! I've finally found a use for all those old clothes I've been keeping as scraps because they were just too cute to give away!

 Now I have a big enough collection (read: two full boxes' worth) I want to share some of my favorites with you guys. Some of these are for sale, (or will be once I get them on Etsy) as always, comment here if you're local and don't want to deal with the hassle of going through Etsy.

I've been promising for a few months now to get scans of some of my artwork up on here, now- I'm not saying that I am the next Picasso or Monet, but I'd like to think it's not half bad. mostly I doodle until I think of a cool image, sketch it out a few times, color it with pencils, and then paint it. It's a messy messy process that drives Jake CRAZY.

This is one of Jake's birthday presents, It's the godsend DNA symbol from Heroes. Basically it's the gene that gives the superheroes their powers. It works well in jake's dorkified office. :)

This is sorta tribute to my high school days ;) Colleen and I had a thing for octopuses, she got me really into to drawing them and loving them to death. I'm actually working on a stuffed octopus :) it's too freakin' adorable.

I did this one at the Faz, you'd be surprised how often I doodle while waiting for Jake to get off work.

This was one of my first paintings I did when I thought I may want to do it as my career. It's on cardboard (so is the octopus) and it's waaay watered-down acrylic, but it came out really cool.


So that's some of my better work so far. I have stacks of non-blog worthy stuff at our apartment. I'm still getting funds together to start at etsy.com, hopefully by the end of June I'll have stuff up on there
Now I'm off to craigslist to find cheap baby items :)
