Arts and crafts and such

[ivyskeep]

Craft therapy update: As per my usual MO, I'm working on several projects at once. I'm getting so close to finishing the Sherlock Holmes blanket, but I took a break to start a basic black infinity scarf from my favorite pattern. I wore the previous one I made to death, and I don't like to be without my basic black accessories ;).

I tried gel plate printing for the first time a week or so ago. I have a lot to learn, but it was fun to experiment with, and I think the results will make good collage papers or backgrounds for mixed media.

I made some rustic-looking rune and other Pagan and Heathen symbol ornaments for my shop using colored pencil on wood slices. Below is the one for the Fehu (money, increase) rune. 



I have some flat reed left over that I bought for a Brigid's Cross that I made years ago. My goal is to make some small ornaments with that, but I don't know if I'll get to that until January.

I made a small, lined, crocheted bag for a relative and added a carabiner in case she wanted to clip it on a belt or something else.



Supposedly, we're going to get a light snowfall today. Bridget will be ecstatic.
