i drew this a few months ago in studio art 2 at my high school. it won an honorable mention in a local art show; my drawing was entered by my teacher. note that i am very terrible at drawing. lol.

my friend asked me to make her a purse out of spoons and duct tape for her birthday last year, so i complied. i loved making this. i had never made a purse before, but i think it turned out nifty.

i made this when i first got my third generation ipod (all 10 GB of it).

i made this necklace a few weeks ago. i make a LOT of necklaces and spend a good deal of time looking everywhere for large plastic beads. most of the beads in this necklace were bought at claire's in bracelet form, and then cut up. and sorry for the awkward photo, but i wanted to show how big the beads are.

omg, i apologize for that photo! but those were the only two i have showing the entire dress i made for my senior prom. i modded a dress my mom had from the late 70s. that was fun. i'm a terrible sewer. it turned out okay though.

i spray-painted the hubcaps on my car hot pink, because it's such an ugly car otherwise. they match my hair : )

i've spent 7 years working on "decorating" my room. this photo was taken last year, and now that i've moved off to college, the walls are BLANK because my sister's moving in. it makes me so sad when i go in there now, it was like a huge work of art to me.

i have a button press, and i made these for the senior class at my high school for homecoming. they aren't very crafty-looking, but when you have to make so many in less than 3 hours, you can't really make 'em that exciting.

this is my current duct tape wallet. note that this was taken two years ago, and i'm still using it. it's pretty beat up now, but it's still awesome.

thanks for reading!

You are, quite possibly, the coolest person I've ever seen!

Also, that Tetris drawing rocks hard! I would so buy something like that to hang in my living room!

It sucks losing a wall like that, its so personal and inspiring. The spoon purse = love! So cute. My favorite of all, though, is the tetris drawing. Retro yet modern...i love it.

1. The same thing happened to me with the wall decorating, bedroom, college, blank walls, saddness thing!!

2. I also have a duct tape wallet! (It too has seen better days.)

3. Did you just spray paint the hubcaps or was there sanding and priming involved??

4. I am afraid that I must theif this duct tape ipod holding device idea if it's okay with you.

5. Spoon purse = Love.

that is all.

1. i know, it sucks. blah.

2. they're the best!

3. i sanded and then did like four coats of pink over the silver hubcaps. they kind of faded a bit after about six months, and then i had to redo them.

4. hah, i gave it away when i got a new ipod, since it's built for my old brick ipod. lol.

5. thanks!

Cute stuff all, but I have to say my favorite is hubcaps that match you're rocking hot pink hair. :)

First of all, awesome stuff.

Second of all, this kinda creeped me out.
So I just recently joined Last.fm and was looking at my neighbours (you know, the people that you have like perfect musical compatability with) and saw someone with an icon with pink hair and thought that was kinda funny because I have pink hair too. And now I'm looking at this post and realizing that you are that same person! So I swear I'm not stalking you or anything (if you don't believe me, go here http://www.last.fm/user/Stompy_Boots/ you are definitely in my neighbours). Or maybe I am by accident. But anyway, I just thought that was an interesting coincedence. It's probably not even as interesting as I think it is. But oh well. I just couldn't keep it to myself.

So anyway, I apologize but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna swipe your idea of spray painting your hubcaps pink because pink and green are my favorite colors and everything I own is pink and green, and now that can include my car which is green.

So that was a really long and rambling comment. So sorry about that.
