Hi
folks! My weekend isn't quite here yet as I'm working both today and
tomorrow but as the Harry Potter Craft-a-long finishes today I
thought I would bend my posting schedule and share the photos of my
final two projects ^_^
For the
Reducio challenge I had to make something small, so I made this
little hat for my Blythe doll Tarquin.
I made
it without a pattern, and I think it turned out pretty well!
I kinda
want to make a full sized version for myself now ~_^
I used
some vintage yarn from my Nana Tess so I'm not sure what it actually
is, but I'd put my money on acrylic. I really love the colour though!
The
other project is for Detention with Snape; the challenge being to
finish off a WIP. I started altering this wooden drawer set ages ago
but had only got as far as the first coat of wood stain. But now it's
finished – yay!
I used
black acrylic paint to age the wood; I did some coats just as a light
wash, others as undiluted paint, and several more in between of
varying strengths.
The
labels are vintage book pages from one of the book safes I made; I
just cut them to size and slipped them into the label holders.
I think
I'm going to use this for craft room storage – it's the perfect
size for haberdashery.
And
that's it! The Craft-a-long is finished! I'm going to do the next
semester (which starts in a couple of days) as well; I had a lot of
fun and I'm really impressed with how many crafts I ended up creating
^_^
Do you
think you'll join me for the autumn semester? (Even though it's
spring over here?)

Love Tarquin's hat, very cunning! And I am most impressed that you did it without a pattern.
Ps. I might just have to transfer in for the new semester!
Yay! Yes, please do! It would be super fun to do our coursework together ^_^ The thread isn't up yet, but here's where it will be when it goes up: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=188.0
are the drawers full size? I can't tell!
Cute hat!
Thanks Tanya! The drawers are actually pretty small, about five cm wide and deep enough to fit in a couple of spools of thread. I wish I had a full sized one though! ^_^
