i have finally finished two paintings for my friend's Happy Moving In present. each of these paintings is 4' x 4', so they are rather large. as soon as they are hung up in their new home, i'm going to have to take some more photos of them. but i was super stoked at finishing them and i wanted to post some photos!

salvador dali, this is for their living room and apparently with the windows open it's large enought to see it driving down the street! :



birth of venus, this is in their bedroom:



this project has sparked many smaller projects.. one of eddie veder, kurt cobain, marilyn monroe, a bagpiper, and my dog! lots of projects in various states of completion.

let me know what you think!

When I was a kid, I collected paper dolls and I have recently rediscovered their whereabouts. So now I have a box of them and I don't know what to do with them. I'm a very crafty person and I don't want to simply decopage with them. But then, it's the only thing I can come up with.

So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Hey everyone!
I'm sort of new on this whole craftster experience. But, I just wanted to say hello to the local artists. My roomate and some of our friends get together one night out of the week for "Camp Craft" and sit around and drink wine. Usually I paint while the others either knit or bring something random that they want to work on. Usually around the end of it, we decided (drunkenly) to play Mystery Date (aka Dream Phone). It may sound silly, but it's alot of fun. So, if any local crafters feel like getting together and mulling over ideas and what not, drop me a line.

as a sidenote, my roomie and i are also members of the newly formed, in production Red Stick Roller Derby. so if you've got any derby ideas, let me know. or, hell, if you're interested in it, let me know that too.

I just wanted to say hello to the crafting community! i've actually been a member for awhile, but never thought to say hello. i'm a painter, sewer, knitter, sculpter, and all around general mess maker. i usually have about six projects going on at one time, all of them mostly unrelated. 

i also really really really want to get into the swaps on here, i get tired of having all my own stuff laying around the house. i'd like to get some new stuff from some new people!

but, i just wanted to give some sweet louisiana cajun lovin' out to the masses!
