CRAFTSTER: Best of 2013

by

Craftster Best of 2013

I just got word that I’m featured in Craftster’s Best of 2013 – this is the third time since 2010 that I’ve been included in the round-up! This time it’s for my painted chandelier, which makes me extra glad that I finally got around to painting that thing!

In each category, the 10 most popular projects are singled out, and from there 5 are selected for the final list. I made the list in 2010 with a post and video on how to make dandelion wine, and in 2012 my rainbow wedding boots were honored.

You can see the full collection on Craftster (I’m in the “Home Sweet Home” section). You can see my chandelier on Crafster, or see the original post from last January on this blog.

EARWINGS

by

I love these gorgeous faux-gauge wooden earrings from Sanskrit Dream, but since the natural wood color was close to my hair, they tended to blend it. So I painted them.

The idea is “psychedelic rainbow peacock” so they fit in real nice with my wardrobe. I like that although they look like wings, they are vegan–no feathers, or bones (which is often used for this style earring). I wear them backwards by the way, inserting the post from behind.

I painted them with acrylics, with no primer or sealant. They really stand out now, and I absolutely love them!

SOFA CITY MAKEOVER

by

Jason picked out a very comfortable sofa for our apartment, and he did it as a bachelor. It’s good for lounging, and when we remove the pillows it’s as wide as a twin bed (for guests!). It’s even got sleek lines, and no extraneous “design details.” But it’s tan. I was overjoyed when he spilled soy sauce on it one night, because I officially had license to recover it.
