crafty earrings


I was messing around with my new cutting machine, just seeing what materials it could cut and what other things it could do. It has a pen holder in it, and can draw just about any design, and then cut it out.

So I got out this material called "grunge paper" which has a texture like suede, yet it's made from paper. I used ink to change the color, then used my machine to draw neat designs on it and then cut the circles out. I punched holes in them and attached them to earring findings.  Cool instant jewelry. :)  I'm particularly fond of the bees and the compass designs.

Sweater!


Ever seen those lovely sweaters on etsy, the ones pieced together from lots of different sweaters? I've always wanted one.

Saren of Vespertine Fabrications made this sweater, isn't it awesome!

I just love it, it's perfect for festival wear or just when I want to feel magical.  Thanks Saren!
