Awesome Things

I know my productivity has become a sort of a joke around the web community these days SO I HAVE COME TO PROVE YOU OTHERWISE.

Be warned in advance – this post is picture heavy!

So, to begin:

This is an ongoing weekly scrapbook that I needed to catch up on this summer – I got the idea halfway through the second half of the school year and didn’t have time to get very far! Since I never use my weekly written planner and use my computer’s calendar instead, I’ve turned it in to a scrapbook.

Each week is a spread made up of a collage of things I’ve collected that week – movie or concert tickets, say, or a receipt from dinner with someone, or a post-it someone left me – combined with cut-outs from that week’s issue of TIME, my favorite magazine. I’ll post more spreads from time to time, but this project won’t actually be finished until the year’s over.

The second project I’ve been working on is a knotted headband, which is actually practice for a necklace I’m planning. Think glorified Chinese staircase anklet.

Everything spawns off of one knot, and I’ve thrown in braids and a bunch of different knots and patterns. I’m doing this first to get the length right, and then I’ll start on a new one for the necklace, except with beads and charms thrown in. BECAUSE WE ALL LIKE SHINY THINGS.

Another big project is a website I’m building for my friend Shawn’s film portfolio – here’s a sneak peek at his cartoony face! This is coming along pretty decently, it’s just quite involved and is my main priority, hence why everything is still wonderfully greyscale around here. lulz.

This is a fish. For some layout thing. WONDER WHAT FOR.

And, for good measure, some real-live swimmy fish.

Finis.
