DIY Galaxy Pants

DIY Galaxy Pants

Space…the final frontier…of altered clothing. Check out this cool tutorial I found: DIY Galaxy Pants. Prudence & Austere even offer a step-by-step tutorial with step-out photos. Very handy for getting the paint layering right.

This might be a cool effect to try on a black t-shirt, too.

Somebody’s View Quilt

Somebody's View Quilt

This awesome quilt wall hanging was made by funthreads on craftster. I think it’s fantastic! I love space, and the colours used in this are beautiful! She describes in some detail how she made it, but not being a quilter myself, I don’t really understand, so I can’t comment on how detailed her instructions are! I adore the purple Saturn (or is it just a ringed planet?) and the rocks, and the glittery beads as stars… even the name of it, Somebody’s View, is perfect. Just imagine an alien sitting on a far planet looking at the purple Saturn. I would love to hang this on my wall!

Things that Fly

The soft precision that is accomplished by skilled felt sculptors always catches my eye, so I was mesmerized this week by the Things That Fly collection. Ms. Davis, the artist, has a range of crazy-cute felted items and it was hard to pick one to display, so I tried to err on the geekiest side. Check out her collection and see if you agree.
