Here's my latest plastic bag, filled up with supplies for Buffy night: popcorn, more popcorn, and a copy of the local newspaper, which ran a story about zines that I was quoted in! I like how the stripey look of the different colors of plastic came out. I used 8-ply plastic on the bottom for extra reinforcement, so it can carry a nice full bag of groceries.
Feeling more confident about sewing, I decided to make a skirt out of some of the way-too-many SXSW t-shirts we have lying around the house. This is made out of 2 t-shirts: one forms the front and back of the skirt, and In the side view you can see the triangular panel made from the second shirt. It was really fun to make, even though I screwed up a couple of times and had to rip out what I'd just sewn. It was worth it though -- it's now my favorite skirt, and I learned a lot by making it.
My friend Megan helped me articulate my latest crafting craze: I make bags out of bags, and clothes out of clothes!
I only wish I had thought to take before and after pictures. I silkscreened this shirt and then altered it so that I could have sexy cuteness instead of frumpy boxiness! Thank you, Generation T, thank you craft night at Jen's house, and thank you Sarah for snapping these pics!
The lovely Sarah suggested I use this blog to put up some of my creative work, so here goes.
Here are some photos of a bookbinding commission piece I recently completed, and a silkscreen I just made for a baby shower gift. The baby onesie was my first two color silkscreen, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
