must have been my blue period

[welovegaloshes.livejournal.com]

i made a camera bag for my digital camera. blue vinyl, magazine picture covered with clear vinyl, lined with velour, and slightly padded. i haven't made the closure yet, but it will probably be velcro.


A sketchbook made out of an old hardcover book, I Capture The Castle T-shirt, and a painting.


i got a pile of old hardcover books for 10cents a piece at the library. i gutted it (non-technical term i'm sure), then sewed signatures of blank white paper together using the coptic stitch (or reasonable facsimile there-of), and voila--a new hardcover journal. i can't wait to do the Trail of the Abominable Snowman book.


i felt bad for taking the original pages out, but i've saved them because i'm a packrat. perhaps zine pages in the future. by the way, i got the instructions here.



I Capture the Castle shirt i made for sceptre's band. I dyed on shirt, altered it to fit, cut the sleeves off, sewed sleeves from another shirt on, and printed the CD cover on to iron on transfer paper.


close up. note MESH sleeves. Mesh is not dead, as previously suspected.


35 X 31 inches, acrylic and conte.

that's it.
