These are some simple butterfly pins I made out of some scrap fabric, glue, a used fed-ex envelope and a sharpie pen. Reduce, reuse and that other one. =)This is the last Thing-a-Day post 'til next year.. but I will attempt to make a post every day still! So keep tuned!

TaD27: Monospaced Font
Another font attempt. This one was made in Illustrator and Font Creator. I made 236 glyphs (characters) Yes.. it took foreverrrr. =)
Thanks for looking!

TaD26: Handwriting Font
Been experimenting with making my own fonts for the last few days. This one is just made with a sharpie, then scanned and edited in Font Creator. I had this one half way done and Font Creator crashed. I probably lost 2-3 hours of work. Making fonts is extremely time consuming.. it's no wonder rights to professional fonts are expensive. >_<
Thanks for looking! =)

TaD24: Mana & Health Potions
If you're a nerd like me, you know these are in a lot of RPG video games. I found these little bottles and had to have them. They're filled with water and food coloring. I closed them off with some super glue... but forgot that super glue sort of fogs glass. Oh well, it looks like wax.
Thanks for looking! =)

TaD22: Dress Sewn
I threw this together as fast as I could tonight. I did not make the sleeves as long as I wanted to though. Sort of didn't follow my pattern on that. I modded them from 11" to 9" and didn't make the radius as large due to the fact that I just free handed the sleeve onto some wrapping paper for the pattern.
My next plan is to paint a design on the fabric. I'm feeling intimidated but I think I can pull it off. Thanks for looking! =)Monday, February 21, 2011
TaD20: Dress Pattern
Catching up. I'm still a day behind. I've got an idea for a dress but I couldn't quite find the fabric I want. I'm going to attempt to paint a pattern on the dress, but first it must be made! I'm being picky about the shape too... I hope this all works out. Made my own pattern since the McCall's pattern I wanted to use was out of stock. Thanks for looking! =)

TaD18: 3D Living Room
Created a 3D version of the living room. I don't own the majority of this furniture but I'd like to know how it'd fit for when I can afford it! =)
Thanks for looking!

TaD17: Speed Painting
I was going to work on this longer, but then Corel Painter decided, "You know what would be awesome? If I just CRASHED like RIGHT NOW." I didn't think it was very fun, but I suppose I'd worked on it long enough. The proportions are a bit off in the beginning because I made the rookie mistake of not sketching it first.... I corrected it towards the end the best I could. Not my best work. Also, the free video recorder I just downloaded for it had it's settings to 70% quality. Aye aye aye... You live, you learn. =)

TaD15: Puppy Harness
Finished the puppy harness for Sophie. I went to the thrift store and found an old leather purse for 3 bucks. Worked great! I have plenty of leather left over too. Maybe I'll make some bracelets or something.
Thanks for looking! =)Sunday, February 13, 2011
TaD13: Macaroon Fail
Ehhh... I tried to make macaroons for my boyfriend today for V-day. They didn't turn out. Out of 14 possible cookies, 5 were edible but cracked. I'll have to read up on some tips. Anyway, I guess it's fitting I post this on the 13th. I'll do better tomorrow!
TaD11&12: Living Room & Puppy Harness
I didn't post anything yesterday. I've been working on a couple of ideas, but nothing substantial yesterday. I got a prototype harness made for my puppy since we've read yorkies have sensitive throats. No pic of that yet. She's sleeping and I don't want to wake her up by putting it on her. I also have been thinking about how to decorate the living room for awhile. I threw some stuff together in photoshop. It'll require me painting three 20x24 canvases though. I'll wait 'til I can get some on sale I suppose. *impatient* =)

TaD10: Tiny Watercolors
I wanted to find my shrinky dinks and use them in these frames I bought. But alas, I could not. I think I came up with a better idea though! Itty bitty watercolors! They were super fun to make!

TaD09: Puppy Collage
Alright... My boyfriend and I just got a puppy less than a week ago. Her name is Sophie and c'mon... like I could resist making a few t-a-d posts about her. =)
The collage was created in Picasa and then edited in Photoshop to add the glow/vignette/aged looks. Thanks for looking!Tuesday, February 8, 2011
TaD08: Love Bomb
My creativity. I'm not feeling it today. Tried to do something with Valentine's day and came up with this nuclear explosion of hearts and what-nots. Thanks for looking! =)

TaD07: Sophia's Collar
We got an 8 week old Yorkie yesterday. We named her "Sophia". She is a sweetheart. After discovering the collar we bought her ahead of time is WAY too big, I whipped one together. We won't have it on her at night but she is pretty fast when she's excited and I don't want her running into the street when we take her outside.
Thanks for looking! =)

TaD05: Bag Holder
Today's thing is not that creative. It's something I've wanted to make for awhile though. These are cheap to buy, but I never found a red one. It's just a simple fabric contraption to hold plastic bags. I measured it out 20" tall by 18" wide (the circumference of the bag). I just sort of winged it. It's not hard at all to make if you know a bit about sewing. But there is a tutorial here if anyone is interested.
