The other day my friend and I went to Michaels because I needed to re-up on some supplies. I was running dangerously low of a lot of things. Not to mention a trip to the craft store is always sure to inspire me. Surely this trip was no different. Although I have decided to look else where for beads, other than Michael because I believe the selection there has become incredibly poor. It's not that they don't have a wide selection, I just feel that everything is incredibly mediocre for the ideas I have floating around in my brain. After about an hour and a half of scouring and $113.00 spent I had a pretty sweet lot picked out.
I was feeling the craft flower for about 48 hours straight and while at the store I was itching to get home and play with my new things. Shrinky Dinks being among them. Although I haven't figured out the nature of shrink plastic yet completely I feel confident that I can make some really interesting pieces in the future. Which means I'll be investing in a printer. Now I know I had a printer, once upon a time, but I'm not sure what I did with it. I must have sold it during one of my moves. I will have to replace it as soon as I can because I'm really excited to start on those projects as well!
These pictures are just a few of the many items I have created this week. All of which you can purchase in my
etsy store. I honestly cannot believe how productive and motivated I have been! Let me know what you think! Keeping my hands busy with these accomplishments has made me feel great! I feel like I'm on craft crack because I just want to stay at home and make more and more and not do anything else. Do you ever feel like that?
