A Hawk, Pony and a Clueless Girl

    A Hawk, Pony and a Clueless Girl… sounds like the title for an obscure book or movie.

    This week I surprised myself by the amount of crafting I wound up doing. In addition to working on the Clueless doll project, two other craft projects spontaneously dropped into my lap.

    Today it is 'footy colours' day at my eldest's school. She wanted to wear a Hawthorn uniform, but… have you seen the price of those shirts?! Oh my! So instead I made her a Hawthorn Hawks badge, which she is now wearing with pride. I made this badge with my new needle felting tools.

    My youngest liked the Hawthorn badge and asked me to make her a badge. Since she has yet to declare her loyalties to any team [though she is beginning to show an interest for soccer], I decided to make something cute for her. I needle felted a My Little Pony image onto one of her shirts. I have just finished this little project, and now my eyes are tired and I have one sore, speared finger.

     Earlier this week I finished designing and sewing the jacket onto Cher, the Clueless doll. Now that I know the jacket pattern works I will duplicate it for Miss Dionne, the other Clueless doll. After that the only thing left is to make accessories for these dolls.

Derby Fury

Red Bubble shirt design by Melissa Gaggiano.

    I love roller derby, though I would never have the guts to get out onto the rink, to get down down and dirty with the ladies. I'd be too afraid of losing a tooth or breaking a leg. So I get my derby kicks from watching Whip It and drawing derby.
    I now have available at Red Bubble my own roller derby inspired shirt design. Check it out here.

Love You, Bunny Boo

Totally Epic Dude

    I just had a lift to my day. When you least expect it. When you start to doubt your abilities something like this happens. One of my illustrations has sold over at Red Bubble.

    One of my favorite telly programs is the SoCal teen noir Veronica Mars. Awesome show, that. So this was my inspiration point for this shirt design.

    I had a pleasant surprise this evening. I discovered that my Typewriter illustration has been sold as a sticker at Red Bubble.
    I love this lil' illustration. I drew this when I got caught up in a newly found fascination for vintage typewriters. This illustration is also available on shirts.

Arrgh! Jim Lad!

I have made a decision. I have not planned when exactly I'll do this project, except to say that it will be before 2009 finishes... I want to make myself the pictured John Galliano pirate inspired jacket.

Ever since seeing Rose (Billlie Piper) wear a union jack shirt in season one of Dr Who, I have wanted to have this piece in my wardrobe. Hmm... Nothing says 'target' like a good old fashioned union jack.

Something for Gwen

Here is the end result of the shirt that I mentioned in my blog entry yesterday. It turned out quite nicely, and the fabric is so soft and clean.

The shirt and skirt look so cute together.

Feeling Crafty

I am feeling that crafty vibe at the moment. I think I will sew up a baby shirt and include a name to be transferred to the front of the shirt. I'll make this up for my future bub...
