Candycorn

Candycorn

Lately I've been going through a felt dessert crafting phase. I've moved on from felt cakes and my latest project is a 4 inch piece of candycorn. The candy corn is made from felt (of course) which I sewed together by hand and stuffed with cotton.


Subversive cross stitch

Subversive cross stitch

This was a cross stitch pattern that I ordered from subversivecrossstitch.com. It only took a few hours to complete and was super simple. It reads "irony is not dead" and check out the pink bunnies at the bottom. [No my walls are not pink, I took this picture on a table.]

Very time consuming. Made with a kit purchased through Martha Stewart's now defunct catalog.

Tis the season for Poinsettias made from pipe cleaner. Inspired by Martha's Chenille Poinsettias. [No this is not the only vase I own.]


Kanji paper mold

Kanji paper mold

This was a project for a 3D art class. It says "Vanity" in Kanji. First I had to make a mold out of clay. Then a reverse mold was made out of plaster. Next I made a paper mixture which I lined the plaster mold with. Once dried, I removed the paper and voila.

Decoupaged tile coasters that are backed with felt. The theme of these is cruise ship travel (during an era when traveling was novel and glamorous).
