It is now Halloween crunch time, meaning that this week I will be making costumes non-stop. I really love Halloween, and I'm planning a huge feast-like dinner. I also consider November 1st as the start of Christmas, so I'm excited about that too.
I finished this backpack last night:
While I'd like to get a few bags knocked out this week, I think that will be put off in favor of Halloween and such. I want to figure out a way to hang pumpkins in my yard with clear thread (or wire?). That is all.
Randi got this shirt from the most fabulous and fantastic Carla, of Supastarr. She loves it, wears it all the time. You should go buy one right now.
It's going to be snowing soon, and I'm nervous that I haven't gotten enough done when the weather was nice. I see jobs in every room of my house, and shit that needs done outside, too. It's causing me anxiety.
I made a Naugahyde dog bed today for Tilly, my elderly and moldy English Bulldog. It had to be Naugahyde because she has a tendency to pee on her dog bed.
This is Tilly.
Randi made this messenger. It's constructed from black-bronze vinyl with flame appliqués.The bag below it is a custom order I'm working on.
This is the first in Randi's new "Purses of Pain and Misery Series". It's pink and red vinyl. Randi's got a whole bunch like this planned.
I'm starting some Halloween planning. I love Halloween.
Inspired by Sailor Jerry's bizarre and prolific use of camel toe in his tattoo flash, Randi hand painted and constructed this fine specimen. It's also a nod to our home town, Newark, Ohio. The ladies there feather their hair with combs stuck in the back pockets of camel toe jeans, and they apologize to no one. This one's for you.
I made these. They were done last night, but I wanted to wash them to make them shrink before I stuffed them. I put the buttons in today. I also painted my garage doors, and built a new place to take photographs. I used some MDF and bead board I had hanging around, and I painted it a very light blue. I love the concept, and it works really well, but we'll see how the color works out. I would have liked to have brighter light, but it was later when I took these. I'm greasy and have paint in my hair.
These are a couple of bags we made the last two days. I made the top, Randi made the bottom.
I gave my husband this CD for Father's Day. I gave it to him early because I was so excited. He had the album when it came out, but it was lost.
Jello Biafra sounds like Sponge Bob.
There's a big sale at JoAnn's starting tomorrow. You better go.
Randi made this. It's a cat belly. It's also a purse. The teats, or nipples, are made from pink Ultrasuede. It's a little obscene and very funny. She had the idea to make something like this with three nipples and call it "White Trash Third Nipple". It seems like we have a lot of white-trash friends who have third nipples. I don't know what that's about.
I made this purse as a custom order for NeedfulThings . I love the way it turned out. I have another purse cut out and started, as well as a couple throw pillows. I might keep them all, I don't know.
I've also been working on a chair for my husband. It's a 1940's era platform rocker. This will be the second time I've reupholstered it, and this time it needs some repair work done to the frame. Photographs to be posted soon.
