Knife's Blanket & Pillow

I did a project for Knife for the first time back in April. I know that's a long time ago. I don't know how people have the time to blog so quickly. I blame my camera issues for the slow updates. Back to Knife's projects. She asked me to make a blanket and pillow for her sorority sister. I only have pictures of the blanket. Knife didn't post any pictures of the pillow and I haven't had time to ask her for pictures.

It was a pain doing all the letters. But I'm glad Knife liked it.

I don't mind doing projects for Knife but I'm not sure I want to do anything with so many letters again. At least not all in one project.

Momo t-shirt

Here's a project from last summer during my screen printing class.

It's Momo from Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is taken from one of their short episodes.


The project was to do a multicolored print.


As you can see in the close up I wasn't very good at it. After several tries I realized that the paint wasn't drying enough before I applied the next layers. I was already having trouble lining up my layers and now it wouldn't dry correctly. In the end, I made some t-shirts with only the black outline.


I'm not sure what to do with the colored ones, since I think they're too ugly to wear.

Appa Pin: The Layers

This semester I decided to take a Jewelry Making class for fun. Our first project is to make an Aluminium Pin. We had to choose an ethnic type mask and create layers for it. I was able to choose a Chinese lion statue instead. Somehow a conversation about Avatar: The Last Airbender came up and we realized my pin looked like Appa.

Here are my layers of aluminium that I had to cut out with a tiny saw. You can't see the colors, because I still have the pattern paper glued on. I can't remove until I'm ready to rivet the entire piece together or I might strach my aluminium.

This pin goes perfectly with my Momo t-shirt that I made in my screen printing class. Which I will need to dig out and take a picture. I'm starting to realize that I haven't posted a lot of my projects. I guess I'll have to start digging things out of the garage.

Another Apron

This apron ended up as a Birthday present to a close friend.


You might recognize the fabric from another apron I had sewn in May. This fabric was originally old curtains from my aunt. It's heavy and thick, great as an apron. Fun, easy, and quick. I might make this again.
