Zombie Feet Complete!!!

So as I promised here are the zombie feet. I wish I could add a tute, but these would really take some art/drawing/painting skills. I purchased a pair of $10 shoes and 5 bottles of fabric paint. Whole project was $20. This will be a cool addition to a Halloween costume though. The fabric paint colors were a dull grass green, crimson, black, white and brown. I used a tiny paint brush for most of the decorating. This project was a lot of fun and took a total of about 4 hours.

Next will be the Pinky and the Brain masks I think.

Zombie shoes and such

So I found this really cool photos of shoes that were transformed into Zombie feet. (well painted to be more exact) I started thinking immediately, I can make these. I must admit finding supplies is going to be my largest hurdle. I have paint, skills, but it's going to be hard to find the right shoes to paint on. Any who. I haven't been working on crochet projects lately. I keep saying that it's too hot, and I have to study for classes, and procrastination is my favorite past time. The truth is I'm bored with it. At least for now any way. I have been scrap booking, but even that gets boring. Looking over and over past memories and trying to preserve. That is why in honor of the up coming holiday season (yes I mean Halloween) I have decided to attempt this wonder feat of creating Zombie feet. I will post photos and maybe even a tute later. That is if it turns out lovely.

Fabric Journals

I've been crafty lately working on fabric journals. All it takes for me now days is to see something a little cool on a crafting site and I get this feeling that I must try it. This was a learning curve. I have to say as tips, measure first. I've been doing this all willy nilly and well I had to take it apart a few times to fix the shape. I am almost finished with the basics of the shell but the design is still going to take a while.

Fliers

I have been designing a few fliers for my sisters photography business lately. Its fun to play around in the programs. Here are a few samples.

Moving somethings around

I have decided that I need to move somethings around on my blog. I believe that there is a direct need to have multiple to separate out the crafts, cooking, and general chatter. I also have started one just for random thoughts http://b-evenmore.blogspot.com/, and one solely devoted to recipes and cooking at http://bs4baking.blogspot.com/. I hope you enjoy...or at the very least entertain yourself by laughing at my boredom.

Meanderings

I'm on pause as of now due to class constraints. With my many projects completed this year a break isn't necessarily a bad thing. On a side note I am kind of sad I haven't heard anything from the person the Clemson baby blanket was for. I believe I get too incredible excited about my projects sometimes. I have 2 incomplete projects running at the moment. One is for my niece and is a blanket that I have been working on for nearly 6 months off and on. the other is an ordinary everyday scarf that I hope to finish soon with a hat to go along with it, but we will see.

I had a recent request for a Minnie Mouse hat. I've looked at the schematics and realize that it shouldn't take me long at all to complete. Like say one boring Saturday or a couple of week nights. Which is always awesome when you have time constraints.

At least for right now I am grounded for projects until I finish this paper due Monday. Politics, who writes about politics.

Clemson Blanket...Finally Finished !!!!

Clemson baby blanket finally finished!! I'm not a fan at all, but I thought it would be a nice gesture to create something for a new mother. It took way too long and at the end I must admit cost too much money (yarn is expensive people). I didn't expect to finish this one but felt I had to. I think it turned out well though and was a big challenge of my skills.
