in the crafting mood

the past few days, i've been a homebody. rather than just being a couch-potato, i thought it'd be good to actually do something productive. so i've been spending most of my hours in my family room, turning it into a craft room of mayhem.

project numero uno: homemade card
-made with felt, rhinestones, doilies, and cardstock paper


the card is for my secret santa, whom i haven't given to yet, so i had to blur out the name. i don't think she reads my blog anyway =)

project numero dos: pom-pom flowers
-these were just made out of yarn, floral wire, and some brown tape
learned how to make them at http://ruffledblog.com/diy-tuesdays-pom-pom-yarn-flowers/

project numero tres: stuffed penguin
-made out of felt, string, and printed cloth
got the idea from this website: http://plushkacraft.blogspot.com/2010/11/miss-and-mr-penguin.html
regarding the cloth, i was looking everywhere around the house trying to find scraps of printed cloth, but i failed to find any. this morning, i happened to run into a clown-looking outfit for a toy. i initially thought it was hideous when i saw it, but i liked the striped pattern & thought it'd be cute for the penguin. it turned out to look okay!

project numero cuatro: unfinished 3 interpretations of a magazine model
-i used a calligraphy pen for the top right interpretation and acrylic paint for the lower left interpretationsad thing is, i started this my senior year in high school...that was four years ago. and i'm still not done with it! haha, i completely forgot about this thing until i found it hiding behind our old piano. i still need to finish inking in the top right part, but i have no idea what to do with my last interpretation. any suggestions?
