Funky Cat Studio

(NEED TO CLEAN UP THIS POST!)

I’ve been busy.  And tired.  And irck.  Stupid cold weather.  I’ve never been in cold here in Oregon like it has been lately.

But besides that, I’ve kicked my art mojo into gear, and switched my crafting to something else for a bit.

<strong>Behold! The latest craze! Artist Trading Cards!</strong>

(will fix pics later)

But yeah, that’s enough of that.  If you really have to see more (you do, right?) just Google ATCs, or visit <a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=259.0″>Crafter’s ATC</a> section, or the <a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.atcards.com/”>ATCards</a> forum.  Or, better yet, check out what I’ve been making at <a target=”_blank” href=”http://resirem.com/funky/?p=120″>Funky Cat Studio</a>.
The ATC Shiz: Basically, they’re tradeable art, in a mini form.  As a general rule, they’re free.  And I think they just  might be addicting.  Like crack, for artists!

<strong>Panties!</strong>

(will fix image later)

I’ve started in on sewing panties.  I bought stretch, cheap fabric, and basically cut around an existing pair I liked.  I “finished” them off by just doing a straight stitch around the perimater (yay geometry!).  This resulted in loss stretch, to help hold things in place, and it worked out like I planned, but depending on how I sit (I’m a pretzle) they kinda cut into places.  I’ve had undies that did that before, so no biggie.

I started a 2nd pair today, but they turned out disastarific indeed.  There may still be hope, but I think I’ll start fresh tomorrow.  I think I know what I did wrong :)

<strong>FFXII!</strong>

Iiiiee! So addicting.  Its lacking the personable characters that I so do love and the nifty story line… but how the FUCK can they follow up on FFX, really? That was the best game in the universe, all around, and makes everything else those people make look like a rap video.

The new battle system completely rocks, though!

And, thats it from me for now.  I hope somebody out there decides they’d like to jump into these ATCs with me.  I’m getting sick and tired of being alone in my hobbies :-/
