Day.....who knows?

So obviously I suck at doing projects every day. So whatever....here are my random craft days.

I made radish earrings today for my friend to wear to the opening night of Harry Potter 7 Part 2.

FINALLY

Oh my. I finally finished this play suit! Sewing on the buttons was a pain in the behind. And Then I was trying to make button holes, but gave up because the instructions in my sewing machine manual don't make sense so they're unfinished snippets. Oh well! Here it is in all it's glory. I am going to buy some large black and white polka dot fabric to make a sash for it in the future.

Day 86, Playsuit WIP part 3!

Ahh so I know I said I thought I'd finished today, but I am not. The top I had made to attach to the bottoms was too short, so I had to make a center piece to fit it all together. After that I did all the hems, the neckline thing, and cleaned everything up. All that is left to add is buttons and straps. So I will definitely be done if I work on this tomorrow! Sooo exciting

Day 85, Playsuit WIP part two

So yesterday I showed you the shorts, today I show you the beginnings of a top. I have to get innovative with fabric because I ran out of the type I needed hah. Soo anyway I just tied a bandana around the tummy (I'm thinking I need to get some of this fabric for the actual belt!!!) and it looks fabulous. I should finish it tomorrow. I have no clue how I am going to attach this all together considering the fabric needs to be longer around the torso so one can sit down...hmmm

Day 84. Romping Stompin WIP

Soooo I have begun my journey into making playsuits/rompers. If you do a google search you can easily find what they are. Basically it's a top connected to some shorts. I started on the shorts today and i must say I'm quite proud of myself and already falling in love with what I'm making! And look, it's even got flower print! Yay old 90s material :) So this is the bottom half and tomorrow I will start the top.

Day 83...WIP vest

So I started on this vest, merrily going along. And then I realized...wow, these measurements are way off. This pattern was an altered version of a pattern I had made last year for a vest that turned out well enough. This one is like 3 sizes too small. Oh well. I'll fix it one day. Maybe I'll embroider a flower on it.

Day 82, Post card

Water color paper post cards. Best invention ever? Or biggest waste of paper ever? It really depends on your water color skills. Mine are here and there. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. This isn't finished yet. I just blew up with frustration at how odd it looked to me. It is a flower however....for the first time in who knows how long...

Day 81, Nelly was an Elephant!

Ohhhh kay. I actually made this a while ago. I have been lagging on updates of my projects that I had done on my hiatus from blogging. Seeing as I didn't do anything today, I will give you this little pink elephant I sculpted. It's kind of flower colored at least :P

Day 80 Petit Fours

Or my attempt at them anyway.
Ugh...sooo I was craving these so badly after watching all the beautiful pastel colored cakes on the Marie Antoinette movie. So the frosting I made for these was wayyyy way too sweet so I ended up not covering the cakes all the way. Or maybe it was the preserves that I used. Anyway, something was too sugary. The cake itself is divine!!!!!!!! Hmmmmmmm...Better luck next time, eh? They're pretty ugly, but whatever. They do taste pretty good.

Day 79 Haeckel inspired

Sooo Ernst Haeckel is well known for his alteration of organisms in his artwork. A quick search will show you his style. In my art class we had to do a piece inspired by him. Here is mine. It combines two different types of lilies, a spider, a pill bug, and a bee.

78....is....fleury?

Sooo I have to show this off. Last year this band was brought to my attention by a friend who basically worships them. I had to know what the hype was about. Unbeknown to them, I absolutely fell in love after listening to some songs. They now have a lovely place in my ipod. Their own little den. Anyway I saw this shirt on clearance a few weeks ago and figured I might as well. I love to reconstruct band shirts. So this started out as a men's medium t-shirt and turned into an adorable puff sleeved off the shoulder shirt :P

Day 77 Pansy update

So let me start you off with an update on my pansies! I didn't snap a picture of them in their hayday, but at the beginning of spring I took this picture. Since then they became even more plush and loveable, but right now they're getting a little overheated with the summer sun and look pretty drab. But I planted these last year. They barely bloomed. They're thriving this year. Love it. And it is DIY considering I planted it!

Resuming flowering goodness....

...80 years later...

Well....okay, not 80 years! But more than a couple months has passed since the last time I updated this blog. It's not that I haven't been crafting, they just haven't been flower themed for the most part or involve flowers in any way.

I will update you on all the craftiful things I did involving flowers. They will of course be in completely random order, but it's the thought that counts, right?

I am going to try to continue the daily blog thing and try to catch up a bit (though I won't get my 365 by January 1), however things are going to change around here. I'm sure anyone who starts looking at this blog again won't mind. I am completely burnt out on flowers. There are only so many flowery doodads you can make in a week. So I will try to do at least one flowery project a week. If I even get to craft every week. At the moment I'm pretty free most days of the week so I will try...oh gosh I will try.

So basically...I am no longer sticking to my theme.

Day 76, wire

I made this abstracty wire flower....I like it, though not really sure that anyone else can see what it is :P

Day 75

Sorry I suck at keeping up. Coffee filter flower two in blue

Day 74, leathaaa

I haven't worn my leather jacket more than two times this year and so I decided to paint a little thing on it. If I don't end up wanting it there, I can just cover it with acrylic anyway...But I'm seriously just considering making the whole thing extremely tacky again and covering it with ridiculous things.
but eh...I may wear it so I don't know. Plain is better for leather imo.
so here it is...
The paint is pearl finish so it was hard to take a picture of :P

Day 73, sequins ;)

Made a foldy fabric rose with sequins

Day 72

I was getting lazy

Day 71, felt basket

I weaved a little felt basket. So cute.

And a picture of it with some other crafts.

Day 70, string o pearls

I have tons of strings of pearly beads and I made this doodly looking flower :)

Day 69 pipe cleaners

I made a pipe cleaner flower!

Day 67 and 68

Ooh so I got some free time sooner than I thought...
Days 67 and 68. I decided to post them together because they look so cute...kinda 80s ish.

What's the news?

Oi I have been really busy with school stuffs and just not been up to doing crafts lately. So I apologize but I'll be back sometime next week and try to make up the time missed.

Day 66...heeehaww

I'm sorry no craft today because of studying, but I wanted to share exciting news that is very much flower related :)
The snow just melted from the planters on my balcony and my pansies are still alive! Meaning they'll be blooming in spring and I don't have to wait for the sprouty period or replant the seeds. I have never had flowers besides roses and tulips survive through winter before so I'm excited.
I will also be planting more flowers in April once there is no chance of frosting anymore.
Yay...I'll update you. Here's a picture of the pansies (no flowers yet of course!)

Day 65, More glitter!

Okay okay I made another glittery flower, this time a lily, using my magical glitter glue. I can't wait until I have this type of artwork down. I will cover everything in glitter :)

Day 64....bumbumbum

Okay this is really lame. It's a shell with a glitter flower. But I was going to make a flowershaped stuffed thing for a pincushion or something along those lines, but I couldn't get the shape right and then I just got tired of trying because I had homework to work on! So here's this ;)

Day 63, lace rose

So I made a rose out of lacey ribbon. It's so pretty!

Day 62, when in doubt, origami!

Sorry...trying to catch up on projects. I had a busy week with homework and study

Day 61, yarrrrpppp

Okay, so this makeup turned out odd. I don't think it emulates the flower quite as much as my last attempt. And I think you have to have different features than me to pull this off, because I looked like an alien. But it's sort of fun and makes me think of meth fairies?
Also the awesome thing about having hazel eyes is the color changes with eyeshadow. This color made them look like a really chocolatey brown.

Flower I modeled it after: http://piccies.flybywire.org.uk/General/20040105/20040511/BlueFlower.jpg

Day 60 glittttah

i played with glitter glue today!

Day 59, sketchy sketchy

Soooo I was drawing this in my sketch book. Isn't it pretty? I might color it later on ;)

Suggestions?

HI soooo...I am kind of running out of new ideas for this. I would love to know if anyone wants to see a specific project done or some suggestions. I can do basically any craft so really as long as it's not something insane I have supplies
So suggest some things in comments yeahhhhhhh!

Day 58, Pipe cleaners

I made a decoration out of pipe cleaners hehe. It's cute and shiny!

Day 57, Yummies

I made delicious cupcakes and put chocolate frosting in flowers on some ...mmmm :)

Day 56 decorative painting

i painted a lily onto this wooden case...ooh lala less plain ;)

Day 55

Worked more on my silhouette project for art class. Not quite sure if I'm done yet :P

Day 54

I am working on some projects for school right now and had to study for an exam that will be tomorrow morning! And so I didn't do a project today, but here is a lovely picture I took last year in spring of this huge bee on these pretty flowers <3

Day 53 Cut outs!

So this is one of my projects for art class....I think I love how it turned out. Everyone elses were so busy and I dunno if mine is too plain. hum well anyway...

Excuse the paper scraps...my carpet isn't usually THAT dirty ;)

btw that's not a deformed hairy pig or boar...it's a mardi gras mask....

Day 52

I was in a Blake mood! :) One of the only poets I ever read and everytime I read them, I see a picture in my head. Of course, what I draw doesn't match that picture in my head because I just wanted to make a flower.
So here's a little drawing with "Land of Dreams" by William Blake.

Day 51...lmao a diagnosis?

I feel cynical...and like playing with ms paint :)

Day 50, I ran out of thread...

It's true. I ran out of black thread in the middle of this. I was adding on to an embroidery I did a while ago. Boo. And all I have left is some ugly colors. I'm in need of thread shopping!

Anyway here is what I was working on. Umm...and this little belt back I tacked on the rose bud embroidery I did before....I'm not sure if I like it. I have no idea where to put it haha.

Day 49, Fabric rose

So I found a tutorial for these online and can't find it again. I can't remember where I found them! Ah well anyway
These were difficult to photograph. The black one with the branch like designs on it came out awesome, the checkered one didn't :(

Day 48

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up. So much homework! So much laziness. ...

Sorrryyyy I drew this for you!
I think I'm supposed to be at day 49 now...I will have that later :P

Day 47

I attempted to make a giant ribbon rose with this floppy towel headband thing. Uhh...it looks like a wad of fabric haha.

Day? Who knows??? 45 and 46

Oh dear I have been doing a horrible job keeping up, but my classes take up all my time!

So I for some reason decided to change the subject for my 100 drawings. (because that one was taking too long. So here is the first 50ish of my ancient symbol drawings.
And uhhhhh...it's do tomorrow so I have to go work on it some more :) Oh and there is a lotus on there so hahhh
Procrastination!
