Lindsey and the Angry Gato

This is a dishtowel that I cut from a large thrifted blanket. There are three designs in the works, and this is the first- the little worm that tells you to eat dirt.

I found this at work today.

I was laying out a piece of fabric to cut for a new project, and guess who shows up?

I just whipped up this marker case, basically for free! Fused plastic bags and a reclaimed jeans zipper.

I re-did the binding on my new art journal, and I’m determined to.. do stuff with it I guess.  I haven’t written in a journal for a long time, since all I seem to write are to-do lists, but hopefully I will find neat/meaningful things to capture in this journal.

This isn’t a pic of the journal btw, it’s just a mixed media piece I did that sums up how I face a blank page.

This is what I actually made today.

I’ve been inspired to try and keep an art journal again. I don’t think I ever had much of one, and it’s been a long time since I’ve kept a writing journal as well, but I took the time today and made a special journal just for me. The binding isn’t the best and I might end up modifying it, but we’ll see how it goes.

On top of the art journal are two tiny notebook pendants fashioned out of metal and paper. The reporter-style one is my favorite although the craftsmanship is admittedly amateur—solder everywhere! Oh noes!! Call the jewelry police!

It seems as though whenever I try to take pictures of my accomplishments, Bowser always manages to steal the spotlight. Even so, this photo cracks me up.

“Mmmm.. thread! Tasty!”
