Neil Krug is probably one of my all time favourite creators, check out these images and video for his latest work for White Flight's "Children of the Light". Psychadellic mythological magic baby!
Thought I'd share with you guys a little DIY I did recently. Fancing myself as a bit of a nerdy weekend Tonia Todman (or Martha Stewart for the rest of the craftworld), I don't mind the odd crafternoon creating weird and wonderful pieces.
With a bit of a love of Egypt and mythology I wanted a swingy pyramid purse thingy to take out when I felt like dancing but didn't want to hang onto. After googling Pyramid bags, I didn't realise that so many other fellow crafters felt the need for such a bag and there are stacks of mega dodgy pyramid bag DIY tutorials out there. After weeding through the range of ridiculous multicoloured,sequin extravaganza, over embellished pyramid bag tutorials I found this simple version on how to make a pyramid or teepee bag.
Because I didn't want to have to hold onto the clutch I added a metre long gold chain and attached it to a snake armlet, I also added a crab claw clasp a quarter of the way down the chain so that it can also be attached at a second point near the wrist (I attached it to my Low Luv cuff) depending on how you want to wear it. I also found a gold snake charm on an old necklace and that became a zipper charm for easy zipping and I lined the entire thing with 'black velvet', eek that reminds me of that song ahhhh now it's going to be stuck in my head!
Major bummer that I couldn't find gold material that wasn't covered in nana flowers but I think you get the gist. The whole thing took 20 minutes to make and that was because I'm a gumby hand sewer so if you can use a machine you could whip one up before you hit the town baby with your new swingy gold pyramid bag thingy! xx
