And the Christmas gifts just keep coming. You may remember this post, where I talked about the fine japanese art of amigrumi.

I had a friend that said she enjoyed the dolls on smosch.com, so I decided to make her one. Here are the pictures:

I’ve got a bunch of “free” time coming up, and I’m weighing sticking to the utilitarian craft I know against some more conceptual installation craft ideas.

Although I haven’t committed to any presidential candidate yet, I do enjoy the western states’ tradition of making yard signs. During the 2004 election, I was in northern California and Nevada, and the hand-made/hand-painted signs were just amazing. When I finally commit, I think it would be fun to do something with my garage door and magnets. It is probably a good thing most city and suburb dwellers do not realize garage doors are metal. If something conceptual pops up, that will be the first place it is expressed. Off to find some high-quality cheap magnets!
