This is a doll of Alexander the Great that I made as part of my Ancient History assignment. My teacher loved him and it was a great way to start off my presentation. This was my first time making a doll and doll clothes. I'm very happy with the results!

So I have these shoes of mine...



Unfortunately they're a little worse for wear.



I was thinking of painting on them, maybe replacing the laces with some pretty ribbon. Does anyone else have any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated 

I decided to spice up on old top of mine. It's the castle in the sky from Revolutionary Girl Utena (the image in question is taken from the movie).



...and here it is "right side up"

Basic concept is you make a swap for someone's favourite historical figures. Once everyone has their partners, you research the figures and then you can start crafting. It would be great if partners could suggest certain books and resources to look at. To spice it up a little we could also write an essay on whether or not a figure would be a craftser or not! For those who aren't big on writing they could just do a couple of sentences. Crafting makes learning fun

I want to make some felt birds, does any one have any patterns? Any help is appreciated, thank-you very much in advance!

A very kind person has sent me some materials to re-create Leprotto's stock outfit. I need some patterns for a Type-3 body: the suit itself and one for an apron. Here's a reference picture, thank-you very much in advance!

I have two pairs of socks that I don't wear. The red ones don't fit and the stripy ones don't suit me. Any ideas on what to do with them?

I had this pink top lying around so I decided to spice it up a little.





I'm very happy with how it came out. Plus it was really cheap to do!

Could someone please help me translate these phrases? I'm learning Japanese but I don't think I know enough to translate most of this properly.

"Down the well"
"A river inside her bones"
"She is going to take me there"
"Lead me by my hand"
"Life is not long"
"Songs playing in my head"

Any help will be appreciated

This is the first book I've made. I gave it to my friend for her birthday. She loves movies as much as I do, so this was the perfect gift. I didn't create the posters although, the talented goons at the SomethingAwful forums did: (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2437874&perpage=40&pagenumber=1)









I tried to get the book rough looking the best I could, so I crinkled up the pages. It gives the book a nice thickness. I think it turned out well for my first project.
