These are for a swap in which I had to use any two of the following: photos, stickers, and stamps. After raiding my stash, these are what I created.

"Cowgirls Don't Worry"



"Treasured Tresses"



"Summer Cool"



"Don't Be Crabby"

These are the atcs I made for a swap at a local papercraft store. The swap's theme is Fairy day, June 24.



Notice the two boy fairy cards are quite "dirty" and distressed, in homage to my own boy.

I welcome constructive comments and criticism as I am still new at making ATCs. TFL!

Hi! This is my first post with photos, so I hope it turns out okay. My first solo bellydance was to "Young Lions" by Adrian Belew, so I needed a liony/African-inspired costume. On a budget. In a short amount of time. Sooo...

This was my first attempt at a tribal-style belt. It's simply a long rectangle of brown fake fur leftover from a lion costume. I folded it in half and punched holes along the bottom and two short sides. Into the holes along the bottom I knotted different yarns from my yarn stash. A length of leather cord laced up the belt in front.

I made the harem pants from a pair of clearance plus-size black silk lounging pants. They were missing the drawstring from the waistband. I replaced that with heavy elastic and ran lighter elastic through the leg hems.

I did not make the blouse. The skirt was on loan from my best friend. The copper coin belt is from Cat's Paw. TFL!
