Myriad.of.Mischief: crafts

So, I finally got to celebrate Valentine's Day with The Boy this past weekend!

I appreciated having the extra week to work on his gift considering I am such an epic procrastinator.

I didn't get to making the card until Thursday, but I had the whole thing planned for a few weeks now.

I made the envelope from a magazine page and some wrapping paper, reinforced with packaging tape.

I really liked the juxtaposition of the gooey cherry pie with the theme of the actual card inside!

Mmm...ZOMBIES!

The Boy really likes Zombies, so I knew I had to incorporate that into his Valentine card.

Mind you, I don't draw as often as I should...

nor do I paint as often as I should...

but I had fun nonetheless.

Perhaps a little too much fun!

I opted to keep the inside of the card short and sweet...and slightly gory!

The best part? He also made me a card. (Macaroni, feathers, and pop-sickle sticks, anyone?)

I'd show you, but I think he'd get all flustered about it...silly boys.

I like having a Valentine! It's fun.

Until next time, ♥.

The weather was deceptive this past weekend.

It tricked me into thinking that the lovely Spring-like temperatures would continue into this week.

Nope, not at all. Not even slightly. I was freezing today. Silly ol' me!

A few alterations will have to be made before my 4:30pm class this evening.

High-waisted jeans, Savers//Oxfords, Goodwill//Floral Swimsuit, Savers//
Cardigan, Savers//Beanie, Burlington Coat Factory

My jeans are covered in sawdust and I probably reek of burnt wood.

And what do I have to show for it? A spatula. Yes, a spatula. I made it!

Actually, it's still a work in process...but I figured I'd show it off instead of changing out my jeans.

I decided not to get creative with the spatula's form, seeking to focus more on its embellishments.

I kind of wish I had decided to get creative with the form. I forget that I'm no good at drawing.

Anyways, I was inspired by a diamond Ikat design, which I then burned into the wood.

Next class, I'll probably paint it and try not to ruin the burnt aspect.

Oh hey, this spatula also doubles as a prop!

A prop for making funny faces.

Looking up towards the Spatula gods, hoping for a successful finished product!

Until next time, ♥.
