Paper Icosahedrons


The beautiful shapes of geometry are everywhere.  I love making these cardboard icosahedrons. Twenty circles with three sides bent up in an equalized triangle shape then glued together with a string added to hang. I like to hang them up in a group to see a colors and how the light reflects off the sides of the cardboard.

Flickr - Memories


There are many past memories on my past Flickr account. I found the log-in information and finally able to see the stream of photos again. It is the memories of what was happening at the time of the photos that is nice to remember. I made a new Flickr account when I could not find the old log-in info, because why not make things complicated. Ugh. 

The new Flickr account does mark a shift of time. It seems I am always starting something sort of new, instead of seeing an idea through. Cardinal sign issue. It is true, I have an overwhelming amount of ideas, with little energy for follow through, and nothing gets very far. Now, that I have some awareness around this issue, I'm trying to shift that energy a little. It would make things more fun to get some momentum going.

Focus can be so difficult for me. So many projects to make - all at once, of course! Tear drop bags have been one of my endeavors. I love the shape of the bag. I have sewn a few and have a few in various stages of creation in my sewing attic.

I want to start doing shows again. Realistically, probably not until next year. I like the connection to people at the shows. 

I like to connect with people through the things I make. I did not realize that about myself until I took a class at Mei Pak's Creative Hive site. And, in true Cardinal sign that I am, I have not completed the wonderfully informative class . . . but I will. It is on my never ending list.

Zig Zag Fabric for doll clothes

I looked for a long time for the right zig zag to fit doll clothes. I could not find it. So, I design a zig zag that wound fit a doll. Find the fabric at Spoonflower!

  

 

Have fun!!!

Pigtails

Doll pigtails are fun and cute. The pigtails were inspired by the YouTube videos by Sam and Mickey. Their stop motion dolly videos on YouTube are ... hilarious. Their stop motion videos have characters that are genius and unfortunately true to the frailty of human nature. Mature audience only due to the complete dysfunctional family dynamics depicted.
