V-Day is coming!

If you haven't checked out my free Heart Applique pattern then you should head over to that post and take a look. It's a free pattern, but protected under a Creative Commons license so you may not sell the hearts.

I sort of lied in my last post. I had said that I would be putting up a bead sprite tutorial, but life got in the way and I was busy! Also, I may have just plain forgotten. Oh well I will post that soon.

I'm kind of busy working on some special Valentines day themed items, mostly crocheted stuff. I'll make a post once I have some more things made and pictures taken! Stay tuned. :D

A New Project in the Works

I adore Shoji lanterns! These table lamps are usually made out of paper and wood and are modeled after the doors in traditional Japanese architecture. Usually they are in the shape of a tall cube, but there are some beautiful variations I've found on Etsy. (image on the right is from handmadethai on Esty)

So why am I talking about paper lanterns?(image below is from earthsteps on Etsy)


I have an idea for some really cool video game themed modern table lamps made in the style of shoji lanterns. I'd like to branch out into making some useful items for the home or office. I have the plans all drawn out, and I ordered more beads. I am so excited to get working on this, but I have to wait for them to ship me my beads first!

In my next post I will be talking about how to make a bead sprite. It's no secret, and anyone can do it! This tutorial will have photos too, so you won't get lost. ;D
