Spiroglyphics - First Try!

-
Hey Reader!

This is a short post but a a super cool project! I want to bring your attention to Spiroglyphics. These books from last year have made their way into my sphere of awareness and I am having so much fun with them!


They are a super cool coloring project that are striking and require only a basic skill in coloring. You start with an outline like this one - and simply color it in! It is so easy! There is a little challenge in keeping track of what is the inside of your spiral and what is the outside, but if you follow along carefully, it comes together fast!


I really like trying to figure out what the picture is as I go. After doing the first half of the spiral, you can definitely see some eyes, but it isn't until the whole picture is filled in that the cute little cat emerges!

I definitely see myself experimenting and doing more fun stuff with these. I tried one using four colors and got a really awesome multicolored bunny! I even happened to use Easter-ey colors but that wasn't intentional.

To do this, I lightly marked the lines where I wanted to switch colors in pencil, and then followed along. I think marking the inside of the spiral might make it a little easier to follow along.

 I am definitely going to be making a lot more of these. They might become the new "smooth walls" of this blog!
 

Keep making cool stuff! Until next time,
JoshPrime

Drag Hip Pads

Hey reader! Let's get right on into it. You have seen the title of this post, you know what is coming. I was invited to participate in a drag show! Now, I am not a drag queen - I can't make that mouth click noise and I certainly can't death drop . If I ever wind up in that position, please just plant flowers on me and move on. Who needs both legs anyways? That being said, if you give me a challenging craft project and I am in it 100%. I decided to make my own dress and see what kind of sickening (am I dragging right?) look I could come up with. I decided I would try my hand at a mermaid dress. I found a few tutorials that I will get into later and so I figured thought I could handle it. When I told some folks that this was my plan, they told me they were mad I didn't have a dramatic reveal. I'll save that for a future look, lets just see if I can make one dress this time - forget about making two. I don't exactly have the most fishy (yea I have seen a few...

Hey reader! I know I promised you cotton candy making, but this post is time sensitive! This is kind of a unique post today. I am writing about my experience making the Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Ki t . What is Foodstirs? Foodstirs is the new box dessert delivery company owned by Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy fame. All of the ingredients in a Foodstirs box are ethically sources, non GMO, and organic. The recipes are also designed to be fun and easy to make with kids. JustLeah and I host the weekly Buffy podcast, J and L Watches , and when we saw that this product existed we thought it would be super awesome to give it a try. We are pretty much children ourselves, so this could be a great project! We were not paid or compensated in any way for this review, but if Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to send us more donuts, we are very cool with that. Anyway, even the packaging is adorable! It didn't come with quite everything we needed to make donuts. We needed to provide ...

New House Series - Sewing Room 1 - So Yellow!

Hey Reader, I spent the holiday break doing the wall smoothing of the third bedroom and have aspirations of turning it into a room for all the crafts and projects that I do on this blog. I feel like all the rooms need names. I was going to call it my "craft room," but someone suggested calling it my "maker space." What makes a maker space different from a craft room exactly? I guess a maker space is typically more communal than a craft room. I sort of feel like a lot of the gentlemen I know call themselves "makers" instead of "crafters." It feels like some gender norm nonsense I don't like. You might be sitting there going: "but JoshPrime, the title of this very blog post is "sewing room." Why are you worried about the difference between makerspace and craft room if you are going to call it sewing room anyway." That is a good question. Here is the thing: I eventually want to do a lengthy post on warded mortise lock...
