This was my entry for the AlphaStamps Halloween Giveaway. I didn't win sadly.

This is just a 99cent birdhouse from Michaels, covered in paper, distressed, inked, and embellished with some fall leaves and mini pumpkins.

So I have absolutely adored the elephants recently posted by rackycoo. I picked some up from Michaels and they sat around for a bit before inspiration struck.

Meet Bertram de Gaulle, scientist!


Bertram's good eye


Bertram's bum (and a closer look at his flying machine)


And here is one where he looks a bit sinister


Enjoy!

I was fooling around with some Tim Holtz distress inks and found I had accidentally made tags for the four elements!


Earth


Air


Fire


Water


And because Air turned out to be my favorite, here are some close-ups!




Thanks for looking!

I got a couple of these awesome Mexican Protection Packets from Sacred Kitcsh Studio and decided to use an old mint tin to create a little shrine.


This is the lid


The back and side


And the inside.

Hope y'all like it!

My mom gave me a pair of her old earrings. These big (1.5in) pink squares from the eighties. So, I jazzed them up with some stamps and gold leaf.

So I found this little wood box at Value Village and thought the design looked like a snitch.


So I took it home and made a Slytherin trunk for a quidditch player!


All the items in the trunk


The items outside of the trunk


Close up of Broom & Wand


Close up of the Quill in its ink pot, the parchment, and a divination book


Close up of the potions supplies

The bottle on the right has oolong tea and the one on the left contains a rock centipede and two black beetles I found in the yard.

Hope you like it!

Is anyone interested in doing a little spring cleaning swap? I know that I have tons of stuff I've accumulated over the winter and it is always nice to see it go to someone who will use it. So what do you say?

So I had some great t-shirts that were way past wearability so I made pillows. Here they are:



This was my boyfriends Homestar Runner shirt. I even embroidered it for him ^_^


This is side one of my pillow. I used two different shirts.


This is the other side. I even used a little accent from the other shirt to tie the look together. Hope you like 'em!

This is my first ever post!!

So I made this doll for my Womens' Studies class on creativity & activism. Her name is Lil' Lolo because she is a minature me!


and a close-up


She is made of old socks, the stuffing of an old pillow and scraps I had laying around. I even made her a messenger bag with pins! The Tank Girl pin was given to me but I made the other.


And I put a little zine in her bag.


and a better picture of her hair.


I hope you guys like her!!!

I have a bunch of old negatives from photos I took in the age before the digital camera. I have used some for various papercrafts but I was wondering if anyone had any really good ideas to deal with them once and for all?
