show and tell

 alright everybody- it is time for show and tell with me :)
Please try to contain your excitement. More or less I am just trying to get some things up here in hopes that it will make me want to make more things and put more up here.... kind of a crazy circle that keeps me making things. okay anyway... here is today's installation. I think later this week I'll post actually what I have been working on this past weekend. anyway.. this is from this past year... a good chunk from President's day weekend.
let's start the furthest back. This is a "peace tile" I made at a workshop with my friend Kacey during Art-o-matic. I'm toying with the idea of trying to get an exhibit together... but art-o-matic seemed like hit or miss last year.... so I'm just not sure if I want to do it. I bet i could whip something up in about a month... but i would really have to be on my game... anyway.. here is my tile :)



Right... next Live Nativity with NCC. I ended up pulling some costumes together last minute.. and you actually can't see them very well... but I drafted the pattern and sewed the wisemen's robes here. I would have liked to do a lot more, but i got started a little late just because I had no clue this would be the neccasary measure it turned out to be. It was fun though.. my first pattern draft and I made them completely out of rescued fabric... curtains, table cloths and other random things that someone left on the church doorstep... which turned out to be a blessing rather than the curse we thought it was when we found them.




and for my next trick.... pillows!
the tree one is from a rescued men's shirt... and the other is from a scarf that after I stitched it I realized there was a huge tear... so i did my best to do my first machine appliqué but it turned out a little crooked... still funny... but i think I could have gotten it just right had I not already stitched it together. I had done a really small stitch and it is a silky scarf so I didn't want to pull it out... oh well... it has character and is a decent first attempt. I could pull it out if I ever get that crazy.






okay... then there is Phillip. Ian named him and he has a certain Wallace and Grommit-ness to him I feel.





Next... the Dinomonster that will probably end up in Greenville one way or another. I owe everybody a package.





Ian made Mr. Moustache... also known as Bruno. I pretty much like him a lot. He's so cute!





And now.... what we are workng on and what stole our whole fricking long weekend..... the bike cabinent... I'll post more on this when it really is done... but for now you can see the craziness that led up to the making of the mammoth.

vice grips..... this is my best Frankenstein/zombie with vice grips on neck impression



yikes. Here's Amanda keeping it tidy after we roped her into helping... actualy she showed up on her own...


Ian under the basic fram of our Collosous.


Me... doing what I do best... cutting straight lines with our new circular saw.



and finally...... (drum roll) ... what we have so far. We have yet to stick the folding door on because we got the wrong type of hinges... but we will fix that.. and now I need to paint it and such.... not sure how to do that... but if you have ideas please share... I want it to look SMALLER. it is really big but it holds our bikes, our shopping cart, our guest chairs, extra clothes on thier way to Goodwill... and all sorts of other room is still left.... but it needs to be finised and look loved. :)



alright... that is what is up. I am hoping to share some more drawings with you soon. been playing with my Indian ink and quill again so it should be fun. :)
much love
B
