Bread Tab Photo Frame

I worked in a kitchen for a few years and collected the tabs from the bread bags because I thought they would make a fun craft. I ended up putting them on a frame I painted for Maddie Stambaugh, and I'm pretty happy with the final product - it's a very cutesy way of re-purposing the tabs.

Moss Art

Ever since I saw this Moss Art a couple years ago, I was intrigued. Since I'm impatient I've come up with my own way to create it, which makes it not as crisp and graphic (boo), but you also don't have to wait weeks for something to finally grow.

And yes, I like bird silhouettes.

My first Moss Art from summer 2010 (it was still wet when I took the bottom photo). It enticed some pretty cool bugs.



One of my two Moss Arts from France...too bad I forgot to photograph the second one. It looks like the bird is pooping in this - again that's only because I took the photo when it was all still wet.










This is my most recent Moss Art, which Steph Wiezbenski helped me with - and let me tell you, stealing moss from people's yards/sidewalks is a lot less weird when a friend is with you...


Tea Time

My parents drink a lot of tea, so I made this for them last Christmas. I like the colors.

This is where I live now.

I was kind of cranky about my new place. It's a one-room efficiency, which is fine - I don't need a ton of space, but it just didn't feel like my home yet. So after browsing the web for some fun project I found this String Tree. I made my own using about 260 clear push pins and brown and furry green yarn, and it really makes my home feel so much better.
