Wearable Art
Heeeere Kitty Kitty…
I told you I wouldn't get sick of making these bags! I've posted more photos (including a view of the inside with the cellphone pocket) in the listing for the bag at my Etsy store. I've also made a tote bag out of Morton Salt 40lb bags, which turned out terrific and...
Quilted Milkweed Seeds
Actually, I've got a long way to go on this particular ArtDress, but I couldn't resist sharing an "in-progress" photo of it! What I'm doing is taking A LOT (a garbage bag full) of seeds and fluff from milkweed plants, and I'm sewing it between clear plastic to make a...
Now With New Shapes and Colors!
"Now With New Shapes and Colors!" (Seriously...that's what the dogfood bag says.) I honestly think I'm addicted to making these. If you have pets (dog, cat, horse, birdfeeder, etc) that you buy feed for, and will let me have the bags from the food, Please let me know...
Recycled Birdfeed Bags
Here's one of the new shapes I'm working on for my "birdfeed bag" bags...it's still rounded on the bottom, but a bit shorter. This one's literally a "hand-bag", but I'll be trying out more styles with longer handles, too. Because personally, I like to cart around my...
Skull and Cross-Stitches
I found this skull already gridded-out (via a fellow Flickr member ---It was just screaming to be turned into a cross-stitched gift for my husband. I knew it would be perfect on the slippers that I've been promising him for awhile now... (click on all photos to...
Underwear Artdress
While typing the title for this post, I accidentally typed "udderwear"...which is a completely different topic altogether. Perhaps one day I will make high-fashion garments for all the sophisticated and fashion-conscious cows out there---but not today. This is another...
Shiny Happy Bags
These two were a lot of fun! If they could hold hands and dance in a circle, they would definitely do so. I found a black plastic garbage bag in the unsurmountable "jungle of art supplies" in my garage, and knew that it would be perfect for a more crisp, formal look...
Cutie Booties
I wanted to share these while I was thinking about it. And besides---to me, anything well-made (especially hand-made) and original qualifies as art, even if it's purpose is covering a few little piggies. When I saw this pair of booties, I just knew I *had* to get them...
Appropriately Spooky (and Plastic)
Just wanted to quickly share this photo (click on it to enlarge). Can you imagine what kind of wicked effects we could add to this in Photoshop?! (Well, I can...because I peeked and saw that Jason's already been tweaking a few of these photos in some pretty awesome...
Upholstery Bliss
Well, this is my idea of bliss, anyway. And as they say, "It's an Oldie but a Goodie!" (Just who are "they", anyway?) Also, it's a Two-Fer-One deal! The dress is made from the fabric of an old recliner, including some of the covered buttons. The dressform is made of...
