Stuff I Make

So, I've been mostly absent from this site for the past 3 years because I've been going to law school. Now it's finally time to graduate (!) and I made all my own invitations and labels

Strung together some green funky looking pearls and black jasper for my mom. Made her a little satin bag to keep it safe too!

Messing around with some enamel on copper lately. I just liked how this one turned out so I made it into a bracelet.  

I love collecting enamel pins, and I'm not much of a painter type person, but I slapped some backgrounds on some canvas, and voilà! Pin displays I actually feel good about hanging up, and lots of extra space for more pins!

Made a skirt today out of an old curtain and some scrap lace. It's like the colors were designed for each other! The blue is slightly iridescent.

Work in progress update: finally got the background layers of an enamel cuff how I like. Next week comes the fun part! Unless it all melts. Or breaks. Or runs off.

A bunch of crocheted leg warmers. 

One of my first design projects, hand-sewn totebag designs. Brings back memories from before I even had a sewing machine (and now I have...um...4? 5? It’s a bit of a problem, really.)

If you’re not familiar, I HIGHLY recommend reading-- it’s all online for free! http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/newreaders.php

I love old scientific equipment, so I designed this cross stitch of an antique microscope and some test tubes. And put it on a clutch!

I’ve made a lot of ascots through the years.

Cross stitch I designed, and a couple of sample throw pillows, to show my love of Todd & the Book of Pure Evil! If you’re not familiar, it’s a somewhat obscure, absolutely hilarious Canadian horror comedy TV show that you absolutely need to watch right now if you like even one of those adjectives. Go. Now. Watch. 

Costume driving caps made for a commission in 2012.

One of my favorite scarves I made for myself. 

A couple of scarves I made for a friend. Fox and autumn leaves! Though I haven’t seen her wear either for a while... *cough cough* *you know who you are*

Combination crocheted and canvas handbag I made for my grandma a few years ago. Took forever to hand sew all those flowers and leaves on!

A few more from the archives. Various fish pouches/handbags I crocheted back in the day.
