Bracelet making- A while back I was really into jewelry making but I wasn't all that good at it. My designs always fell apart or were pointy or didn't look right so I put my supplies away. Then I found it again and Heavens to Betsy I didn't realize how addictive it is! I've since grown a better sense of crafting and quality so I can actually wear what I make! I now have a shoe box filled with all the various bracelets and rings I have made!
Knitting-I'm just a beginner at knitting and I only have one ball of yarn so all my projects in this area are pretty limited. I made my friend a headband, I knit a sleeve for my flute case handle, and I made this sweet cuff! I wear it quite a bit around the house-it's so cozy! It warrants some weird looks but only because they are jealous.
Comic- Yes, I've actually started a comic after all my yammerings about being a graphic novelist/designer. I'm worried about talking about it for fear that it won't work out and everyone will wonder what happened. I'm not going to reveal my plot lines but here are my main character designs.
Mini paintings- It's my goal to finish 30 mini paintings before the end of summer. I do it with watercolors and sharpies in a little sketchbook I got in Boise, Idaho. It's a weirdly relaxing process and I've already got 5 done! It's smallish accomplishments like this that bring me joy. When I'm done I'm going to put them all up on my walls.
So that's what I'm working on right now.I'm a person who needs structure in her life or she wil become listless, lethargic, and insane I love summer because I have more time to myself free to be creative and
make. I'm always reading and looking online and looking around that I just take in massive amounts of inspiration. I would be stupid and probably explode if I didn't make anything out of all that I'm taking in. THREE CHEERS TO SHARPIES, GLITTER, AND YARN! THREE CHEERS TO CRAFT-A-PALOOZA! THREE CHEERS TO PINTEREST AND HOW TO BOOKS!
