Composition Book Makeover @DALB

Hey guys! It's that time of the year again, I'm heading off to college again and once more I'm super excited about the classes I'm in. I've got creative writing, printmaking 1, drawing 1, and a small business management class. All of those have real life applications, or at least to my life. Ah, being a blogger is great!

Every thing I do for my creative writing class is going to be contained within this composition book so I thought I'd make it a little more cute. I tried to retain the key features of a comp. book's design; patterned cover, nameplate, tape binding.

Colorful Spool Mobile @DALB

This week in RaChil news: I've got a summer head cold guys. I feel like poo but I persevered and whipped this project up that's been bouncing around in my head for a while. Originally it was going to be a set of windchimes but I couldn't ever get my hands on any chime pieces.

 I think I prefer it silent though, or with just a gentle wood sound if the spools do happen to bounce together.

Rainbow Scallop Slip-Ons @DALB

I found this cute fabric at Joann's and had no ideas about how to make it into a garment, so I used it to jazz up a pair of Coverse slip-ons that I bought exclusively for DIYing purposes. I think the result was great!

I can't wait to wear my awesome new handmade kicks to school!
