I am a Craft-bot.
Welcome to my future.
I am happiest when creating.
To make is everything.
My juice starts to flow and the clouds part and there is a ray of SUNSHINE in my soul.
I am a Craft-bot.
This morning I downloaded a MB or two of input over at Flickr. Namely on the Freezer Paper Stencil Group. I've seen it before but today something snapped, crackled and popped in my brain and I designed a LOGO for the Calamity Kim Store!!!
I am super excited as you can see by my enthusiastic exclamation marks!! Oh, yeah, sistahs, this is gonna rock me!! I purchased two screen printing kits from The Goodwill Hunting store this summer, partially for the vintage cool graphics on the boxes but also with the HOPE that one day I would be able to assemble a screen print thaing-a-ma-doodle and get down with some groovy, super cool, funkadelic graphics of my own.
It just hasn't happened. Too many patterns on the sewing table if ya know what I mean.(Finish something, for crying out loud my confused brain screams) So this is super cool enough and I really like it until I figure out how to screen print something I will be doing it with freezer paper.
There is a tutorial over at Crafster and really, you have all probably seen it and are yawning right now...maybe my jumping for joy will keep ya alert enough to check out some pictures and stay tuned as I finish up my projects and add a store to the blog.
I plan on offering ART APRONS, BIPOLAR BECKY MAKE-DOS, MOHAIR BEARS & RABBITS, PAPER CLAY ART DOLLS, SMALL ART QUILTS, QUILT COVERED COMPOSITION BOOK/JOURNALS and who knows what else!! I used the positive cut-out from the freezer paper to iron on to wool felt and cut out a siluette of the image for embellishing a journal cover. I'm going to add some prairie points as it is traveling to my friend Jenny, aka Kansas Rose at Prairie Farmeress.
We met after becoming partners in the teatowel swap and have continued to grow and nurture our friendship through blogging, emails and today I talked with her on the phone! I have met the most wonderful people through blogging and Flickr and I just want to say Thank You to everyone who comments and emails all the supportive and sweet, kind words. I appreciate you all. There are so many blogs out there to read I'm sure the list of URL's would reach to Pluto and back, so thank you for the time you spend here at Calamity Kim.
