finished writing and recording a draft of this song today.

Little Ditty Bag

I began working on a little ditty stash bag. I'm using one if my favorite skeins that I have been saving for seven years...
I haven't knit anything in over a year, and I haven't competed a project in over two years, so I'm determined to do this little project.
Casting on...
Here's to hoping that I see this through!

"It's art. It's colonialism, and you'll never get it!"

I painted a Kluneberg knock-off for a friend of mine. I don't have any progress shots because I worked on it nonstop for about an hour and a half and forgot to take breaks.

Spaghett!

I made this hair clip today.
The clay needs to bake tomorrow, but otherwise, it's done. The clip only took about three hours to make:
I used a blue bandana and some batting for the bow. Some embroidery floss and hot glue holds the whole thing together. 
(I painted my room today, so my nails were still covered in white paint.)
Front of the bow.
Back. I used a metal hair clip and wrapped a strip of blue fabric around the two fabric triangles and secured it all with a bit of hot glue. 
This thing hurts my hands and is not easy to press. I think that pressing the noodles took an hour alone. 
Aww, plain angel hair is boring. 
Everything is better with balls. Meat balls. 
After that, I added sauce, some grated cheese, and then a basil leaf for garnish!
I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I'm a little bit nervous about baking it because I've burned some of my clay pieces in the past, but I'll just be sure to keep a close eye on it.

if I only had it on a bracelet...

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
I had to add the blue fingerprints as a final touch.

almost done, just in time for cinco de cuatro!

Debating on the lettering. I am leaning towards just using "WWTD?" rather than spelling out "What Would Tobias Do?"

WWTD? Progress Pictures!

All he needed was a mustache and pupils to transform from Dr. Manhattan to Tobias. Soon, glasses and lettering,
