New stuff!

So I should know better than to think I would do anything every day besides eat, sleep and work. I quit drawing every day, but I did complete several projects in the past couple weeks. I hand-beaded a wedding veil for my friend Kasey, I made an amigurumi squid for my fiance, and I made a skirt for myself. Photos, you say? Why, yes.
I used tiny seed beads and went all the way around the border of the tulle, which has glitter sprinkled liberally on it.
I hope Kasey likes it!

Here's my skirt:
I made it out of a pillowcase and some purple fabric for a lining that I had leftover from a quilt I made my cousin for Christmas. I broke a needle and learned how to replace it on a sewing machine. It was a lesson I could have done without, as I had a moment thinking I was going to have to have a professional repair person look at it, and God knows where one finds that in Southern Illinois. I really like this skirt, but I have a sneaking suspicion I may be the only one.


This is Dan's squid. He almost didn't let me attach the tentacles to it, because without them, this little guy bore a strong resemblance to a slime, a character from Dragon Quest.


The cat seems to enjoy it, anyway.
