helwenYesterday for art was mostly writing and posting about stuff I've been doing, and I still need to post a few pics for the Bat Girl wig, I guess... not happening right now!
I did do some work on a Steampunk choker/collar I've been working at, off and on, for a few months. I had some scraps that I thought might work, so I put the foundation together a while back. Then I found some metal embellishment pieces, and got that trim that I thought was going to be lavendar but when delivered was black (wrong photo with item for sale) but hey, black is useful to have and I realized it would go with the choker so.... anyway, last night I worked on doing some beading, which is part of how I secured the two metal pieces to the fabric -- they're pierced filigree pieces, so I just sew through some of the holes and stick a bead on top. Eh, if I remember I'll take a pic or two at some point.
Today I haven't done much creativity-wise, but I've been thinking about how to rearrange some stuff in the house. I need more space in the upstairs pantry (basement pantry is currently a dream and consists of a milk crate with winter squash and a few bags of emergency dried goods) -- but the stuff that needs to move is crafting supplies that I need easy access to, so I don't want to just stuff things in boxes and shove them into the basement...which is full of stuff, some of which is waiting for us to get that trailer...which can't happen right now because we have a ton of snow, and then there will be mud...so I'm working out in my brain what the possible moves are down there, before I actually set my hands to it.
If I can get my act together, which I think I can, I'll make a few cloth bags today; shouldn't be too hard to do, and it will get some fabric out of the radiant room. Sewing, while it takes a while, is one of the ways I'm working on making space. There are things the house needs and we need, and once the stuff is made the fabric will be in the right place. Uff.
And now, lunch!
