Eventually I will get around to putting up some photos of some stuff I have made/finished recently ... like a few more of those journal quilts, the things I entered in the Canberra Quilters Exhibition and the TASDA exhibition, etc ... I have taken photos of some of those things, but they are still on the memory card ... sometime in the next week or 5 I intend to take photos of the rest of the stuff (and/or take better photos of some things I don't have good photos of) and then stick them on the computer so I can put some of them on here and write about them ... I was originally planning to have that done by about now ... but I have not got there yet ... oops ...
In the meantime ... I did find one photo of the plastic bag crochet outfit I wore in the fashion parade at last year's TASDA exhibition ...
... it is made from cut up garbage bags and supermarket bags and some other clear plastic bags that came from work (I think they came with safety glasses and/or some other science equipment packaged in them) ... the bag, hat and shoes are crocheted from the cut up plastic bags (with dangly bits of the clear plastic left hanging out for decoration) and the skirt is strips of plastic bags with a waistband crocheted out of cut up supermarket bags and the skirt is lined with a black garbage bag so people don't have to see my hairy legs and/or my undies!
That is one of the things I probably should take a better photo of ... I think I took this photo just before I dashed off to deliver it for the exhibition and I just kind of threw the stuff on the bed, took a photo, then gathered the stuff back up and dashed out of the door with it ... which is one better than this year - this year I didn't even take a photo ... but plenty of other people took photos of me wearing it in the fashion parade before it went out on display anywhere that it could go missing ... and it didn't go missing - most people are still honest enough not to steal the exhibits ... (unfortunately it is only most, not all - someone stole a small quilt from the quilt show here last year!)
er ... the evening seems to have vanished again ... and I have to go to work in the morning ... grrrr ...
goodnight ...
