New Additions on Colonial Williamsburg!

Friday, February 24, 2012

The Colonial Williamsburg Museum has added a lot more things to their online collection!


I'm always really excited to see new extant garments! Sadly there is exactly one pair of stays, but there are several gowns and lots of accessories!

Recent Doctor Who Crafts

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

It's been a while! I thought I'd share some of the crafts I've been doing relating to Doctor Who, my favorite TV show ever. First up we have a TARDIS pillow. I made this as a graduation present for my friend, who got me into Doctor Who.



It's fleece mainly, with felt windows. All the words, even the sign, are embroidered! It took a while but was soo worth it.

Next up is a TARDIS pendant!

My fingers give some scale. It's made of sculpey with a jump ring baked in. It was very delicate work!

More recently, a weeping angel shirt;
don't blink
I drew a weeping angel silhouette, scanned it, added text, printed it out, then cut everything painstakingly out of con-tac paper and splatterpainted it with a toothbrush. I love it!

Finally, a dalek washcloth.
exfoliate
The pattern has been going around on r/doctorwho so I thought I'd give it a whirl. It was just the right difficulty for me and I'm so making more! Here's the pattern if anyone wants it.

Howl Jacket Done!

Yes, it's done! I shipped it off on Thursday and Cindy received it on Saturday. She says she loves it!

I don't have too many progress photos but here is one where it's almost done:

And finally, the finished product!

Here are some pictures of my fabulous brother modeling for me:

What a cool kid. So it's in Atlanta now and I am waiting for a check.

In other news, I have been furiously working on my 18th century stays. I'm so sorry that there are no pictures of them yet! By the time I get around to it, they'll probably be done. Oh well.

I wanted to share this game:
It's from Colonial Williamsburg. You have to figure out which clothes go on which social classes. It's quite informative and fun, although I did catch a mistake: someone with no maid would have had to put on her shoes before her stays! :D
