sometimes you just gotta sew yourself a cute blanket and take a picture of your cat enjoying it 🥰😸

Quick Life Update: Working at Joann's again has been awesome! I can't even begin to express how great it is to be around a creative driven environment again!

I have a few projects simmering on the stove that I wanna get the ball rolling for in 2021. Just some small side hustle stuff to help me stay creative and motivated and not fall in a rut again.

stay tuned for more to come! 😘💕

So about 10 literal years ago I started this scarf as a gift for my ex. He dumped me when I was about 3/4 of the way through. I kept it in a box for a long time. I moved it to four different houses

Last night I finished it. This morning I am wearing it. My husband is sleeping in. My dog spent two days trying to steal the yarn. Life moves on.

Just wanna share my Aloy cosplay with you.

This suit took me about 300 hours of work: printing on fabric, 3D modeling, processing of printed parts, embossing on genuine leather, styling a wig, painting craft. I really enjoyed creating this costume. I hope you enjoy our work!

Foam to Leather (Tutorial)

Things you’ll need:

Brown craft foam

Aluminum foil

Clothes iron

Ironing board

Black paint

Brown paint (lighter than your foam)

Paint brush

Paper towel

Grab some aluminum foil and crumble it into a ball. Not too tight of a ball though! The next step is almost impossible if you do. 

Next, un-crumple the ball. Flatten it out into one layer. It’s fine if there are a few holes.

Place it on top of your foam.

Take your iron and firmly press it on the foam and aluminum. My iron was set to 3 (polyester) but the correct temperature may be different for other irons. Just remember not to use steam! Before doing this on a large piece, be sure to experiment and figure out what the best temperature and what the best pressure is. On larger pieces, you’ll have to move the aluminum around a lot. It’s not a quick process.

Now you’ve got this crinkly affect on the foam. Next is painting!

Grab you’re brush, black paint, and a dish with some water. The idea is to dilute the black paint enough so that when you apply it the paint will seep into the divets the aluminum created. 

Once the watery paint is applied, wipe it off with a paper towel. Continue to do this for your whole piece of foam.

Now here’s an optional step (of which I haven’t done myself but I’ve known others who have):

Grab the light brown paint and, without diluting it, paint it on. It’s best to use a coarse brush in this case and to try to keep it out of the divets. Wipe some of the paint off. 

Remember, imperfections are always good! Uneven paint isn’t necessarily bad so just experiment with it. 

Here’s an example of a bracer I did with this method. The first two pictures are an example of the foam I began with and the rest show the end result. I hope this helps you guys out!

My co-worker’s son picked this groot cup out for her. The tomato pin cushion happened to be a perfect fit, so now it’s her work needle cushion and it has little room under the pin cushion for holding other things.
