Day 40 - it's over!

I used this tutorial by Laupre to make some buttoned leg warmers! To wear with a skirt and stockings. They're really warm! Any excuse to go out and buy some buttons.

Day 39

An Easter card for my parents. A feeble attempt at a pop-up card.

Day 38

I wanted to have a recording of me playing in concert practice, but when I listened to the CD, they missed me out. So here are the back ends of my timpani mallets. They have been wrapped with latex and glued. This is so that I can play with the butt ends of my sticks and not damage the timpani skins. There's also a better tone than there would be if it was left unwrapped.

Day 37

This is a tissue purse with felt eyes and a tongue. I made him from my Aranzi Aronzo book.

Day 36

I weaved. With paper. Then I threw it out.

Day 35

The first picture on the pattern is how big it was supposed to be. I think I got my hook and yarn

sizes wrong...

Day 34

Since I work at a library, I can take home lots of paper wrapping for printing paper. It's quite thick. Then I used them to cover my textbooks! Who's gonna get dog-eared covers? Not me!

Day 33

Would you shut up about Satre?!

Day 32

O rly? Ya rly.
An actual photograph of Chuck and me. This is seriously what we look like.

Day 31

Broom broom!

Day 30

What, Chrissy? That's just a plain ol' Pro-mark stick bag. Right? You didn't MAKE THAT. No, I didn't. BUT I DID MODIFY IT. It is a stick bag no longer!

Look how wide it is! It's like 8cm wide now. I cut out the zip, and sewed fabric along the edges, then sewed in a new zip. Now it's a MALLET bag!

Day 29

Another bag. This one is just for uni. There's swirls and stuff sewed on it.

Day 28

Look! It's gonna be a bag KNITTED FROM BAGS!

Day 27

No, I didn't make this today. I made it like twelve years ago. But it's cute, and I found it and took a photo of it today.

Day 26

Necklace made of paper. A bit weird actually.

Day 25

I made this box to put the angel in! Made out of a weeties box and some brown paper. Button, ribbon and glue.

Day 24

I made this a while ago for a friend's birthday, but I couldn't put it up until today!

Day 23

This is what it means to study both music AND psychology at uni. You have to read all these articles for psychology and for music, you have to have a pencil with notes on it.

Day 22

Self-explanatory photograph!

Day 21

Hand-sewn ipod video case. Ninja duckie.

Day 20

I haven't updated in ages, but I have stuff to put up. I've been a-making, despite my ridiculous schedule.




Before putting it on my blog, I posted this photo on flickr. Someone found it and used it in an article (along with 133 others)! http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/m-i-karen-o-joan-jett-sell-converse-sneakers
