First Projects

Three days into 2011 I've already completed one project and begun another! Not that they are anything major...I had to work 10-6 on both the 1st and the 2nd, and I had to babysit from 7-11:30 last night, so free time has been limited. But, hey, creation is creation! :)

The first project was really simple. I have a bunch of jersey lying around from a dress I made in the fall, and I wanted to make something with it. So I made a bow!

To make it a little prettier I sewed some seam binding into it. It's not the most technically challenging or well-crafted thing, but it only took 20 minutes to make and is cute enough. ^^

The second project is still a work in progress, so no judgment, please! I've had this frame in my room for years, encasing an picture my uncle gave me when I was about 4 years old.

I didn'd photograph the adorable picture, but you can see how boring the wood frame is. After seeing Zeruda's decorated frame from a while back, I decided that now was the time to decorate mine!

Like I said, work in progress. I was too lazy to hunt through my mom's old art chest to find paints and brushes to use, so I'm just using nail polish. I like how you can still see the grain lines through the polish.

I have to work again today from 5-1, but I'll make sure to post the finished product once it's all done! xo
