how to make a peacock fascinator from scrap felt (i'm guessing they're using the word fascinator to equal the words HAIR CLIP, but again, it's a guess)

but hey, IT'S VEGAN (well it WOULD be vegan if the felt  you used wasn't real wool).............pic from the posting linked above

speaking of vegan baking............this past weekend i tried moo cluck chocolate chip cookie dough review  Written by Mattie   

(i baked the cookies). it was wonderfully EASY. no mixing, no clean up (i used parchment on my cookie sheet). i don't know if the product is new or not, but it's the first time i've seen it. i've enjoyed their chocolate creme filled cupcakes for a while now (MOST excellent)

carved out of an EFFING OREO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

via cory at boing boing

..............XXV sez, "Sculptor Judith Klausner has been carving classically- and Victorian-inspired cameos out of Oreo cookies. Her most recent series -- From Scratch -- explores traditional handicrafts using mass-produced, packaged foods as her medium. In addition to the Oreo cameos, she has embroidered a fried egg onto toast, cross-stitched Chex cereal, and more!"

And she made this: a mechanical musical jewelry-box with a (mate-beheading) preying mantis in place of the traditional confectionery ballerina. FWOAR.

from their website:

The camera that turns light into living pictures

This year, Lytro will debut the first light field camera for everyone. OK – you’re not everyone. You are a beautiful, unique snowflake. And you deserve an amazing camera that lets you capture life’s singular moments, like baby’s first steps not second, with maximum magic and minimum hassle. No more fighting with dials and settings and modes. No more flat, boring, static photographs. With a Lytro, you unleash the light.......

this my dears is EXACTLY what i'm talkin' bout!

No fuss focus.

Click away. Shoot first, focus after. That's right, after. You can't miss.

here are shay and amy

(and one pic of matteo as well) in the necklaces i made for them

they're simple knitted beaded necklaces. the HARD and LONG part (well long not so much hard) is stringing ALL of the beads prior to knitting them up.

i did them on s-lon cord

(note: i just started a NEW one, same deal only i'm using 38g wire instead. it's a bit more of a chore and the effect is a bit different as well)

New necklace I started

This time I'm using 28g wire. Knitted and beaded of course

altered fabric part iv

this was a prototype for a 'duct tape wallet' i am going to make for edwards. i gave him this one, but told him he'd be getting a better one. this one all stuck together. i have to come up with a way to make sure the fabric i made doesn't stick together (that's tricky because of the multiple coatings of acrylic gel medium - see part i of how i made it). the purple is the duct tape and the rest is my altered fabric. they were pictures of edwards and friends and items that will mean something to him.

soooooooooooo i think i found a way to prevent this from happening (the sticking together). after i give it a try, i'll post my findings

i very loosely based the style on this :

is it just me or.............

what the heck happened to whip up????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

altered fabric part iii

here's some other altered fabric i made.

i'm using the feminist fabric for a GIANT purse for ME. i've been knitting a monk's satchel forever (i just pick it up now and again). when i'm done with it and felted it, i'll attach the feminist fab

the orange fabric was VERY hard to work with. it was way too light and diaphanous. i'd not choose that again unless i backed it with ANOTHER kind of fabric first.

the bluish fabric is going to be a duct tape wallet (pictures to follow) for my friend edwards. he's leaving the the half door and going back to his old bar. i shall miss him (he'll still come visit AND drink!). he was quite the prankster and he sure could make me laugh. (note; a couple of the pictures for this fabric have some whitish goo in them. that's the gel medium that's not quite dry. it WILL dry clear i promise you)
