I've decided to set myself a steep task. I want to write about making 365 times in one year.
Why? Because I think hand crafting things is a crucial part of who I am. It provides me with identity, it sooths me, it rallys me like nothing else. It's what brings my community together, it's something I think more people should be encouraged to do.
Also, I have no discipline when it comes to many things, writing being one of them. When we were building our house we kept a narrative account of what we were doing. Now most of my content comes in burst of 140 characters or less. By setting a goal with a distinct begining middle and end, and in a very public way, I know it will take descipline more than anything to pull this off.
Below is a fur hood I made for my friend Noga for her birthday. Faux wolf fur with red satin lining. Took about 20mins to whip up. Spray painted an old shoe box with some black laquer I found in the basement, wrote her name in red glitter, and voila! a gift.
