Killer Kween

My partner has received her package for the "Craft My Favorite Decade" swap, so I can post some of the stuff I made now. She liked the 18th century, so my crafts were inspired by Marie Antoinette. I did some research and watched both he PBS documentary and Sofia Coppola (very dissapointing) movie. I loved the tote bag so much, I made 2!

I'm starting with my favorite item. This tote bag is so awesome! I'm not a great sewer, but I gave myself a pat on the back for design. To think, I just had these scraps of fabric and lace laying around my craft room.


This ruffle collar/neckwarmer was knitted in acrylic, then embellished with gray lace and gi'normous buttons.


Trinkets included chandelier earrings (real and fake), crocheted cuff, a ring, cell phone charm, silhouette necklace and "Let them eat cake" mirror.




My partner also liked the 50s, so I tossed in some retro nautical-ish things.
Nautical earrings:


Nautical hair clip


Mermaid and hibiscus necklace


I sent a few more things, but nothing worth blogging about. Thanks for looking!

Ninja Bunnies Kick Ass!

Mite! Mite! (look! look!) I made this little guy for a swap. Isn't he cute? Want one? Email me at kitschkween.diy@gmail.com for arrangements. I think I'll make my own little army.

Yes, it's a uterus.

I've officially been flaked on, and it sucks! I sent an awesome package all the way to Leeds for the Rockabilly Swap on craftster.org, and I got zip from my partner. Anyway, (arrgh!) I also included a little extra surprise that I wished I had kept. My partner is trying to have a baby and wants to make a fertility shrine, so I made her a womb from knitty.com. It really gave me a hard time since I used ribbon yarn that wasn't so forgiving. My fingers were cramped for days! He turned out pretty cute though. I called it my "Happy Uterus."



here are some pics of the other stuff I sent:

Sprrrrring Fever

Spring is in the air, and my head is swimming with creativity. These peices are a different style of jewelry you're used to seeing from me. Most people would call it "normal", or "society friendly." Whatever. They're awesome. I like these little lovelies, and I hate to sell them, but a girl needs purse money. Ya know?

punk my clutch

Ross had these clutch purses for only $4, so naturally I snagged 'em. Here's what I did with them:



Clutches are way to small for me, (did I mention I also spent $150 on 4 Harajuku Lovers purses while I was there?) so if anyone wants these, let me know. I'll swap or take $$ (unless you're family. all i need is your address). First come first serve.
