leather

it's my new thing.  the way it feels, how many needles it can break, i just love working with it!  the button is made from an old cuff link i bought for 25 cents.  both of the photos made the leather appear a lot darker than what it actually is.  i tried to fix it but failed.  starting out simple, but soon i want to learn how to make designs into this stuff!  hopefully my dad doesn't look at this site, because this is his christmas gift.

oldies

found these in the bowels of my basement last weekend.  these are from my very first semester of college, or should i say, the only time during my college career when i kinda sorta cared about what i was doing.  you can still see where i skimmed over stuff to "get a project done," but there's something about these that i like.  i regret my lack of a portfolio during the course of these years, but this has given me extra motivation now.  however, my current obstacle is my obsession with crafting and not of painting/drawing.  but i suspect that these will combine in my future.

IF YOU ARE KATH LAMB, LOOK AWAY!!!!

Because this is the post card I sent you in the mail

Just some scraps I found lying around.  After much deliberation, I have decided that this little number is just one big commentary on sex, in every way.  Which makes sense  if you compare it to the books I'm currently reading:

History of Mistresses: a history of the "other woman"

1Q84

and soon to start, The Windup Girl

Not to mention I just finished Narcissus and Goldmund.  

cold days, good books.
