This year I decided to tackle Hogwarts. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures till day 3 so my rooftops got a bit wilty...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How'd I do?</span><br />

<br />
So I've been crafting a ton lately...mostly because there are a lot of birthdays in May but also because the warmer weather inspires me. Here's a few fun things im working on....<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Sarah and Stacey's Wedding guest book! First attempt at coptic binding. Eep this is going to take a lot of practice but I really don't think I ever want to glue a book together again. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zd0sczgzwoc/T87FB-FeECI/AAAAAAAAAIA/ZlpPDyCgUds/s1600/IMG_20120213_233624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zd0sczgzwoc/T87FB-FeECI/AAAAAAAAAIA/ZlpPDyCgUds/s320/IMG_20120213_233624.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Because who doesn't need a good pair of glittered pumps.<br />
<br />
Old Nine West pumps, three shades of extra fine Martha glitter and a TON of Mod Podge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMY9NEuchHU/T87FDCpUfYI/AAAAAAAAAII/PtBjighHEaA/s1600/IMG_20120521_205513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMY9NEuchHU/T87FDCpUfYI/AAAAAAAAAII/PtBjighHEaA/s320/IMG_20120521_205513.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
So I make my own Laundry soap. What of it. It's awesome. I decided to etch a jar to put it in to make it even more awesome.<br />
<br />
Visit <a href="http://beingcreativetokeepmysanity.blogspot.com/2010/11/homemade-laundry-soap.html" target="_blank">Being Creative to Keep My Sanity</a> for laundry detergent recipe details. My only addition is that for my next batch I would use a fine grater for the bar soap, as I wash my laundry cold and it doesn't always dissolve completely.<br />

Coptic bound notebooks for my cousin Suzanne's graduation. I wish I had a set of these when went off the college. I suppose I could still make some for myself now that I've really figured out the stitch pattern<div>

<div>
Two felted bars of soap, two nuno felted scarves, the start of some bad ass mittens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Felting is one of those rare mediums that lies below the radar, sort of one of its most intriguing qualities. </div>
<div>
I tend to prefer wet felting with raw wool rather than fulled knitting simply because fulled knitting seems like cheating to me...yes it is still felting but the idea that you are knitting say, a bag, with wool yarn and then throw it in the washing machine just does not have the same gratification for me as taking raw wool and working the hell out of it so that it becomes a solid workable fiber. </div>
<div>
Nuno felting I quite enjoy. You take a breathable fiber, such as silk or simple cheese cloth, and felt on top of it so that the fibers travel from one side to the other when it is fulled. This makes for a light weight felt that is perfect for scarves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Im sure I'll post all sorts of instructions and various things I learn on my felting journey</div>
<div>
Today's lesson:</div>
<div>
Alpaca is really really soft. Its not as itchy as Merino wool, but it also does not felt as tightly...but we shall see how tight I can get it when I full the mittens. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144570613273416539.post-52848271995137665832009-11-16T14:02:00.007-05:002009-11-16T14:41:40.802-05:00Random Tracks:<div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Absolutely loving this. will download album asap.</span><div><a href="http://www.theburningear.com/media/2009/11/Do-Make-Say-Think-Do.mp3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Do Make Say Think: Do</span></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">New from Omar Rodriguez-Lopez: Xenophanes,</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The Mars Volta visonary never ceases to amaze me.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Track 6: Dessarraigo is definately my favortie.
