Recent Crafts...

Here are some things I've made recently.
Firstly, some things that I made for the October Unconditional Swap on Craftster, for the lovely and talented KatJones.
Here is the huggymonster!He is a nice monster who really likes chocolate. He has his own bag (which velcros to his hands. note- the velcro ON his hands is the soft fuzzy side so he is huggable and does not stick to things). Here is his bag with the fall patch on it. There are four patches- one for each season- seen below.

He is now apparently going to grace Kat's merch table at her shows and dispense candy for the masses!
I also made her a journal, but I completely forgot to take any pictures. here is the picture that Kat took.
Then I stenciled this Dr. McNinja shirt for my big brother, all the way over in Japan.
I'm very proud because this was my very first stencil and there were over 50 teeeeeny tiny bridges in it. Hooray. I used the freezer paper method, which comes out just lovely.

I'm also working on a shawl for my mother- I'll post progress pictures once I have some.

That's all for now!

I'm writing this for craftster swap partners!

I'm a 21 year old college student. I'm majoring in Anthropology with a heavy focus in Archaeology and artifact illustration. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend, Cory, and our two cats, Wick and Simon.
^ that's us :)


Favorite colors: Blues, greens, black, browns, purples, burgundy- jewel tones and earth tones. I also like the combination of brown with pink, and brown with olive green, and brown with turquoise. Since I am also into punk and rockabilly culture I like black, red, lime green, bright purple, and pink.
I don't like: yellow. I hate yellow. Like, really hate it. I also am not much for orange but I'll wear it if it's with other fall colors.

General things I like: nature, especially trees. I LOVE trees. I also love anything relating to water- I'm a true Pisces. I'm very liberal, as well. I like stars, cute things, sanrio (especially cinnamoroll!), gothy stuff (I used to be very goth in high school), pinups, HUGE black boots with buckles and things, the Renaissance, skulls, pirates, ninjas, webcomics (especially Questionable Content and Wapsi Square), video games (I have a DS but I love old Nintendo stuff and Final Fantasy), cute but morbid things, Edward Gorey, Jhonen Vasquez, FABRIC, owls, and cats (actually I like nearly all animals), indie music. Oh, and chocolate. I adore chocolate.

Things I don't like: Raisins, yellow (I know I already said it, but I hate yellow!), realistic violence (think Quentin Terintino), walnuts, pop/country/rap music.

Speaking of music: I like alternative, indie, rock, punk, rockabilly, international, some metal (not the screamy stuff, the singy stuff. think Cold, not Slipknot), celtic, some classical, humor.

I love anything fantasy or science fiction. I especially love Lord of the Rings, and I have since I was... oh, about two years old. I own almost every book Tolkien wrote, and I've read most every biography of Tolkien ever written. I'm... a bit of a Tolkien geek. BUT ON THAT NOTE: I don't like fanfiction. At all. In fact, I think there's only ever been one fanfic that I liked.
I like some anime- Azumanga Daioh, One Piece, Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu, Digi Charat... mostly the really bizarre ones.
I adore Discworld novels (those're by Terry Pratchett if you don't know). My favorite characters in them are Death, Susan, Tiffany Aching, Granny Weatherwax, and Commander Vimes. My favorite book in the series is The Truth, closely followed by Thief of Time and Reaper Man.

My sizes: tops, US X-large. Pants/skirts/dresses, US 16-18. Wrist, 7 inches. Shoes, US 9 women's.
I have a nose piercing and my ears are pierced. I love long earrings and fancy necklaces.

First Post

I think it's kind of required that, when one starts a craft blog, one must have the obligatory "first post" post that really only says that one is starting said blog.

So, yay! I'm starting a craft blog!
