I started to sketch a new design for a tee shirt. It's actually a design I'm going to make into a stamp. I will probably starting that soon as I can get my hands on some acrylic texturizer, and linoleum blocks. I'm actually happy how it came out. I have to make a stop to Kinko's and have an enlarged copy made. Easier for carving, and my eyesight. I'm looking forward to this actually.

Just a side not, I guess. As mentioned I've been having the most difficult time with blogs and html markup. It seems that blogger/blogspot is no different. Example my blog appear in different colors not even in the markup. Maybe someday I'll have someone who actually knows what their doing can take a look at it. So to anyone who reads this if you believe that it looks odd (for lack of a better word) drop me a note.

I reposted my list of craft ventures, which I'll accomplish in the not too distant future:

1.Finish my Halloween costume. I've only got a couple more things to do on it and I'm all set. That's priority number one on my list.

2. Ferreting through Salvation Armies to Rescue Missions, and consignment shops to find cute cloths, which I can, paint on or alter in some other way. My wardrobe is somewhat lacking, so it's all in my own best interest that I do that!

2b. Making some new stencils, stamps, and getting my hands on some fine point fabric markers and re-vamping some of the said cloths I want to get my hands on.

3. Mend some cloths, which are already apart of said wardrobe. I've got some of that.

4. Making my way to A.C. Moore and get my hands on some beads, et cetera (actually I had just gotten inspired).

5. I found some awesome discounted fabric I saw at Jo-Ann Fabrics and I would love to get it. I found these great floral patterns in two awesome colors.

5b. Buy the tote pattern I found (yesterday as well) and make a tote out of the said slammin' fabric I found. If they come out nice I was thinking of selling them either on ebay or by the side of the road.

5c. Getting some plain pattern-less material and making some totes, which I could therein paint on. I saw this awesome vinyl totes with vintage mod-Playboy playmates on them. I could do something like that... just not in vinyl.

6. Decorating the cover of my hardbound sketchbook. The sketchbook, which I am going to do all my important sketching in.

7. Fixing my messenger bag... My bag has been graffito tagged for the last time. Probably going to dye it with something like RIT and then stencil over it.

8. Attempt to figure out what I was doing wrong on my knitted ribbed scarf and start over. I did want to get it done by the start of the cold weather, however, not.

9. While at Jo-Ann Fabrics I found a treasure trove of free flyers for crochet and knitting projects. I found this awesome sweater. I could totally crochet that!! I would probably finish it faster then a ribbed scarf, oddly enough.

10. Get a hold of some linoleum blocks for carving, I like doing prints and that is what you do them on.

11. I have a wealth of pictures on my computer I want to turn them into buttons, so I need to find the materials cheep as possible. I also need to get a new ink cartridge and find my photo paper.

12. I was thinking about getting a black coffee table photo album. They are normally always on sale in either Borders or Waldens and I was thinking it would be an awesome place to put my photos.

13. Getting some film for my camera therein I can fill said photo album.

Thirteen is a lucky number so I thought that I should stop here.
