Hinckley Hotties

My dorm floor made matching t-shirts, because we are just that cool. I made a stencil for the front, and then we all decorated the backs ourselves. I think we look pretty hot.

Photography 116

It has been a long time since I blogged. That's because I go to college, and I'm supposed to be studying or doing homework or something. Also, I don't have the resources to be really creative at college. Well, I do have a bunch of sharpies, some posters, and sticky tack. What more do I need?
Anyway, right now I'm in Photography 116, or intro to photography. I've taken some good pictures, and some bad ones, and some in between. Here are my favorites:

That's What Makes You Beautiful

I just got back from the One Direction concert in Charlotte! It was AWESOME! The boys were fantastic. They are amazing singers and they are so funny. They were singing to a stuffed animal cat that someone threw on the stage, and they tried to talk in southern accents!

I went with my three friends and we all made t shirts for the concert. One said "Come in my One Direction". The others had song lyrics on them. One had the Superman symbol and said, "I can't be no superman, but for you I'll be superhuman" and the other one said "Niall, we are the same." Mine said "I stole a car so we can drive to the stars." I tie dyed it to look like the British flag, and I also put glow in the dark stars on it.

I like big BOOKS and I cannot lie

I realized I haven't posted in a while. Sorry if you actually read my blog. A project I recently worked on was a graduation present for my best friend. I got a plain white tote bag and used puffy paint to write "I like big books and I cannot lie". HAHAHA. Get it? I think she liked it. I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her, so no picture on the blog.

Photography

I recently finished taking a photography class a wake tech. I learned so much about photography, and I think my pictures have really improved. This one is my favorite one that I have taken. I used the night landscape setting on my point and shoot camera, which keeps the shutter open.

Upcycled "Bean" Bag

In case you haven't read my previous posts, I am making a bean bag out of old t-shirts. And it is finished!
I used six old t-shirts, two old pairs of jeans, and two jumbo sized bags of stuffing. So technically, this is more of an oversized pillow then a bean bag, since it doesn't have any beans in it. Overall, this projected costed me about $16....just because of the stuffing. If I had used foam beans for this project, it would have costed me something like $50.

 Don't be surprised if I don't post anything for a while because I might be too busy sitting on my "bean" bag reading my favorite books to think of anything creative to do. 

T-Shirts...and Jeans

I've almost finished my t-shirt bean bag! I made the sides with two pairs of old jeans, then sewed the sides, the top, and the bottom together. All I need are some beans and my bean bag will be finished.
I also started on my t-shirt quilt. There is no pattern to it, I just cut out the graphics on the t-shirts, arranged them, and used the leftover parts of the t-shirts to fill in the gaps.
