back to school?

My mom enlisted me to help my sister, Shelby, with her english project - which i don't mind because i got to work with clay. Shel is making a board game based on the book, Frankenstein. She needed players pieces for the game so i made 4 of the main characters out of clay...

after...
one is Henry, the girl is Elizabeth, one is Victor's father, and the crazy-haired one on the end is Victor Frankenstein - she wanted him to have Doc Brown hair :-)

an *actual* before and after...

A couple of days ago, Ricci mentioned that she was tired of one of her wall-hangings. She asked me if she should get rid of it and i said to let me 'play with it' first. :-) So today, i asked her about colors, showed her some material, then i headed up to my room for a few hours. Here's what happened...

there i go again, being resourceful...

I had an old lamp shade that i was getting rid of. But it had a few marks on it (like my chair - see blog entry below) so decided to give it some pizzazz...

this was my canvas, this time around...

first i sketched it out - i can't take credit for the design. i found the picture on the net...


then, the paint...


ahhhh, the finished project...

this is what happens when you're resourceful...

I have this chair. It's a great chair. It's from Ikea originally, but i found it on the side of the road. It's cream so there were a few small marks on it. I had loaned it to some friends because my (current) room is too small for it. But my friends have moved so they returned it. I've decided to keep it in my room even though it's a little too big. But, because of the cream color, there's a few more marks on it - it's not my friends fault, it would have happened if i had kept it. Ikea has a cover for it but i don't need to spend the money. I could buy some fairly cheap material to try to cover it myself, but with all my "crafty-ness", sewing is NOT one of my talents. So, i'm trying something that does use my giftings. Sharpies! (one of my favorite mediums!) I'm just starting with the little pillow that goes on the chair to see how i like it. I decided to use various henna (mehndi) designs. This is my canvas...



this is about halfway though...



this is the end product, for now :-)
