craftgrrl | my latest craft projects and some other stuff ^.^

I got a big bag of assorted xmas goodies today from a freecycle member.PROJECTS! ignore the sports illustrated calendar.my brother got that for his girlfriend's stepdad (it was either that or beer,and we're both under 21 so you get the picture)

my very first ductape purse! I took apart a death journal and put this part on the front.I can't ductape very well yet,so some of death's faces got covered but no biggie.the handles are you guessed it,from a gift bag.

I ran out of ducttape,so I used this heavy white industrial tape for the bottom.I taped over a little cardboard piece and taped that on the bottom so I'd have a really durable purse.

the back with death,and a quote.once again,I can't ductape very well,but its my first try.

a day of the dead altar I made for my brother's girlfriend.I started making these over the summer and I've really found a knack for em.I get used tea boxes and make them into mini altars.I can use pretty much anything and make any kind of altar,but I love making dia del los muertos ones.

a close up of the actual inside.

I'm going to be taking more photos later when I buy a better digi cam (so the photos aren't as grainy.I love this one,but I need one with a flash!)for a portfolio I wanna create with my silver falls I made,some clothes,etc.
