Memo boards and squidipi

Hey everyone!
I haven't had the chance to really work on my projects, or start new ones, because I've acquired a part time job. Yay for money, Boo for no creative time.
BUT here are a few that I did a log while ago.
Enjoy.

This one is my take on a french Memo. Board. It's fairly basic. A piece of wood some backing, ribbons and fabric of your choice, decorative upholstery tacks and a staple gun. Basically just put the backing on the wood and staple it down in the back then do the same with the fabric, over the backing of course. Then cut your ribbon to the right length and arrange them in a dimondish pattern then staple to the back and put upholstery tacks in the places where the ribbons cross. If you put about 50,000 piece of ribbon on yours, like I did with mine, then don't put tacks on ALL the places that the ribbon crosses because then you won't be able to put pictures and things up. Mine mostly has pictures of me and my friends in Italy and post cards, some concert and movie tickets. That kind of thing.
NEXT!

Remember me telling you about the "squidipi"? Well this is one of the original pen & inks I did of them. It's a baby and its mom I suppose. I was doing field experience for class at a local high school and I was teaching the kids how to do pen & ink and this is what ended up happening. ^_^

So those are my fun bits for now. Hopefully I'll get used to this job soon and be able to work in some creative time. Either that or you'll start getting pictures from around the Deli :) but the up side is that classes start up again in August! so there will be much creating

See you all next time at the Robbins nest and have a great day!
