This past summer has just been a love affair with the lovable and rather squishy octopus. My friend Habeas Corpsemaker and her hubby Speeder Parker moved into a lovely house in Mass. So to celebrate they threw a house warming party. Since I live about six hours away from them I knew that any food I make wouldn't last the trip up. So as a gift I made and framed a piece of art.
Not the best photo, but it's the only one I have do the piece.
Originally I was going to make a beaded embroidery of an octopus, but it was going to take way too much time. I only had a few weeks until the party and I could only work on it at night and during the weekends. The solution: make something on paper that's less labor intensive. Sorry Habie but time was running out. On a happy note, I did start a beaded octopus, and I have taken many in progress shots.... And now that I can make posts and add photos to them I can post photos!!
This is the most recent photo I have.
Unfortunately the blogger app. Doesn't allow for much editing in the photos.... Like adding a caption or changing the size. Can't complain too much, with my computer out of commission for the foreseeable future, I'm just glad I have some form of access to my email and job searching sites.So fun times will be had this weekend! There's a yard sale/ swap meet out here in NJ that I'm totally stoked to go to. It's being run by Gypsy, who is a performer and steampunk enthusiast. I expect there to be many people with an odd variety of things so this should be freaking awesome. Maybe there will be a post tomorrow with photos? Who knows.... :)
So for now this is about it, I need to get out and do exciting things this weekend.
See ya'll later!
