Lindsey and the Angry Gato

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.

I opened up my jewelry box where I have been keeping my smaller felt and jewelry projects, and Bowser was curious. He ended up tipping the box over, spilling out all its contents and playing with pieces of felt.

Earrings made using wool fleece, wooden beads and jewelry findings. They make me think of crazy colored dreadlocks, and for a moment I am in touch with my inner “hippie.”
