I thought it was about time that I played around with journalling again. I decided not to dive in head first into day planners and such. Instead I went the blank notebook route. I bought up a couple packs of 100% recycled paper, some old records and kids books.
The result is some serious cuteness. Check it out…
Jurying for the city market is coming up soon and I’m busy tying up some big and small details. Tonight I stamped up some pant hangers with my very special girl Thursday.
Cuteness!
I’ve been doing some softie crafting lately; some good and some bad. I printed up another yard or so of robots and kokeshi tonight.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the better dolls. The robot is still a little pointy for my liking, but I’ll see what I can do about that.
I found some time today to sand down and then photograph some of the resin belt buckles I’ve been working on. I thought I would take some time to share my new pieces with the big ol’ world. If you’d like to check out an album of photos you can click here.
Here’s a few of my favourite samples:
Last night I did my prelimiary prints with my new screens. For the most part things turned out nicely. I had to do a few touch ups with my handy-dandy nail polish.
I’m intending to use the kokeshi dolls and and the robots to create some super cute stuffies. We’ll see how that goes. The smaller graphics are for clothing and journal covers.
I’m wrapping up yet another weekend full of glorious crafting. I’m taking another stab at screenprinting. I’ve avoided this particular craft for quite some time now. I’m not fantastic at the preperation process, but I’ve sought out some expert advice on coating screens and such and I think I’ve done alright (who knows for sure?!).
Yesterday morning I hosted my second Resin Casting Workshop at Made 4 You. It was a smaller group this time which worked well for organizational purposes. It was also nice to have a timer right off the bat.
I spent last night cutting out pieces for some new resin belt buckles and serging new yoga pants. Exciting stuff for a Saturday evening I know!
Anywho, almost time to start a new week. Here we go…

I was digging through some bins at my local Sally Anne today and found something great! For less 15 cents I picked a CD full of vintage clip art. Such a rad find! I can’t wait to start crafting with some of these graphics.

Over the last few years I have found that my crafting time cuts into my reading time. Well, I’ve finally found something that can serve as a solution (or half a solution). Through the grapevine of weblogs I have found something truly spectacular; a fantastic little blog called CraftLit. I encourage everyone to check it out. It’s a perfect blend of craft talk and literature.
A little more craft intensive, but still a lot of fun. I love making necklaces, but I never really seem to wear them. Well, at least my Grandma enjoys them.
I’m hoping to post them on my website later on this week.
