Earrings and Corkboard

So I made these earrings:


And corkboard:

I had bought a pack of 4 small squares of corkboard. Then cut up an old tank top I wasn't going to wear again. Used some kool aid to dye it (I know, not a good dye for a cotton material, but I wasn't going to go buy something. And it's not like it's clothes that will be going through the wash, so I thought it might be ok.)

I still have to work on the keeping it on my wall part. They fell immediately after I took the picture. But it's a bit late for me to be hammering on a shared apartment wall anymore.

Catching Up

I got busy with work and school and forgot to update the last several days. So here is the catch up of my thing a days for the last couple days:


Painted these plain wood frames I got. (only $1 each, add a layer of acrylic black paint mixed with water. Now I got four black picture frames for only $4(

I wanted to try some abstract painting- this is one of the paintings I came up with:




(the same as the one above in no-flash vs flash versions. I have no scanner unfortunately.)

Abstract paintings have unfortunately never been a strong area for me.

Day 6 Necklace

I wanted to make a Chakra necklace but I didn't have yellow or "indigo" beads (or the purple is "indigo" and I'm lacking a true purple? I hate the "indigo" vs "purple stuff), so instead it's just a rainbow-ish one:

Day 5

Today all I got finished was these earrings:

Day 3 Jewelry

For day 3 I made these:

New Baby

My aunt had a baby about 5 months back now.

These are some things I made for the baby that I forgot to post here at the time:






And here was her christmas gift (still a bit big for her):

Day 2

I started a drawing today. It's going to be a pen drawing in the end, this is just the original pencil sketch. The finished product will take much longer.

That Time of Year!

It's that time of year again. Thing-A-Day!

Today, I did a drawing. It's not good, but I'm glad I put in the effort of practicing my skills. Of course my drawings will not be as good as they used to be, I used to draw all the time. It's been months now since the last thing I drew.



And cell phone picture of the drawin, is not so great. But, no digital camera on me today, and definitely no scanner. So this will have to do.

A Very Late Christmas Post

Some of the christmas gifts I made for family this year:




(rosary I made for my grandmother)






















Unfortunately there were several gifts I made that I thought I took picutres of, and then realized after christmas that I didn't. Oops.
