I bought a book called Shadowfolds: Surprisingly Easy-to-Make Geometric Designs in Fabric by Jeffrey Rutzky and Chris K. Palmer years ago. The book details a technique that combines geometric origami with fabric pleating to create intricate designs that look different depending upon how they’re lit. As a proof of concept for an eventual larger project, […]

#CreateNovember recap
It’s been a while since I posted to this blog. Obviously, posting every day for #CreateNovemeber didn’t work out, but I’m okay with that. I liked it enough that I’d like to do something similar next year but with slightly different parameters. The part I found most difficult to keep up with was the requirement […]
Applique scarab
Today, I took the scarab applique I cut out a few days ago and sewed it onto a scrap of denim. I was going to sew it on a narrow bit of muslin, but I decided that I wanted it on a large enough piece of fabric that I could use it as part of […]
More Twine
Today was another process day. I started a crochet hat for my mom. I also spent more time learning the ins and outs of Twine. My goal is to post a simple Twine story before November is up. The trick is figuring out what my Twine story would be about.

I wanted to concentrate on process today rather than worry about finishing anything. Today’s theme ended up being tools. I started looking into software options for […]
Day 10 Jelly
Today netted a crochet jellyfish. I’ve been making a series of them, and I hadn’t made one in a while.
Under-the-wire felt monster
Here’s a last minute little monster made out of craft felt. It has an LED eye, but I’ve misplaced the battery holder I use to test these things.
Starting week 2
I continued to work on the scarab linoleum block and did a test print on fabric.
One week down
I ended up working on the linoleum scarab that I started on Day 5. I had only planned to do the head, but I ended up doing a lot more of a first pass. My plan for this when it’s done is to print on fabric, so I’m going for graphic and bold. And that’s […]
Uneventful
Day 6 didn’t net anything worth showing. I continued to work on the psuedosphere on the train. I also picked up some books on dollmaking from the library.
