Early 2008

These are really old, but I really like the shrinky banner pins, and vintage wooden button rings, and loomed flowers I made with yarn from this estate sale. I wish I could craft more. I don't have the time, but more tragic thing is that I stepped on my flower loom, so I can't make flowers anymore.

Modge Collage

For my art class, I had to make a collage using all the design elements, blah blah, about yourself blah blah. I stayed up all night cutting cigarette boxes and decoupaging the hell out of everything. All the things on the collage were found in my room, just laying around, and I think that means I have too much crap. I guess it was worth it because it was really well received and I think it looks pretty badass. My art teacher man said "that looks like art" and tried to make me call myself an artist. I don't really want to seem like an ass and call myself an artist or a photographer, because that just sounds lame. I think I'm still only 20 to declare anything like that. I am just gonna be me and work it and see what happen. Modge Podge ruined my nails, but I did enjoy peeling the dried layer of stickies off my fingers while watching Buffy.

Yellow house and birthday party.

I worked for Justin's grandma for his uncle's birthday party. I taped a bunch of decorations everywhere and it looked hilarious. This marks the end of my blogging binge. My new nickname for myself is Blogging Molly.

Oh, I am taking a RT to Chicago in 3 weeks. Sweet.

My favorite things of November

My dear boy is in a new band.



This truck has airbrushed artwork of the same truck getting chased by a cop car and a helicopter by a shell station. Bomb.



I bought wool and a drop spindle at Felt Club, which was a beautiful event by the way. I made yarn for the first time ever and it turned out crazy thick and funny looking but it is yarn afterall.



Chris Torres and I went to Intelligencia after trying to go to MOCA for the 3rd time. I finally got to go last weekend, and the Louise Bourgeois show was so fantastic. She had fabric sculptures and fabric collages. It was just amazing. Well, CT and I had fun one day, and that's when the picture was taken.



Raku in class! I rakued a bowl that my dad stole from me. I've got much better at the wheel and throwing or whatever, and made a set of mugs for my family. It's for Christmas!



The knitted blanket Justin bought for me has become one of my favorite blankies ever. It stretches and completly wraps my entire body, and it feels so awesome. I guess Justin likes it too.



I made it a goal to visit a museum every weekend of November. Out of 5 weekends, I went 3 to a museum three weekends. I went to MOCA where we ended up in Little Tokyo having delicious ramen, LACMA twice, once on a Monday, and the Norton Simon. This burger was purchased at LACMA, and it was delicious. Boigas and art. My favorite!

RIPE

I was in this group show this month. The theme was RIPE, so what's more appropriate than my favorite polaroids!

Dia de los Muertos

Justin's grandma had a beautiful dinner party for Justin's mom's birthday and the day of the day. We ate limey soup out of a bowl that looked like a gourd, and frosted and glittered sugar skulls. I love it when my dear boy and I craft together, but it's extra funny and cute when little kids are involved.

Fingerpuppets and yummies

Around Halloween, Caitlin, CT and I went over to Olvera Street where I bought too many finger puppets. Afterward, we watched Buffy and ate desserts at Pann's. When ordering my brownie a la mode and black coffee, I mentioned how I felt like an adult because I drink my coffee black now. Then we all looked down on the table, saw my finger puppets, and decided that I'm not a grown up. The white wall is sparkly!

Every I bring around a finger puppet, Justin's roommate always asks me to make one of him, for him. I wonder what would be the best way to make one. Knit one? Felt one?
