Scavenging down Brick Lane last month unattended, I paid my way into a fair called the Art Car Boot Fair. It was quite interesting and it made me think of a few things. One, people pay for the weirdest things and the other, the artwork in this photograph, which inspired me to create something based...
It was only a matter of time before Maribel Made, made its way into the diy web printing services out there, and Zazzle came to be easy and fast for publishing the new Mars Monkey illustrations I created based on the Mars Sock Monkeys soft toy product line (see my post, Sock monkeys + knitted...
These are so fun to make! The size of the pom-pom will depend on the size of the donut-shaped pieces. The inner hole should be half the size of the original circle. I had some problems cutting the yarn between the paper pieces on Step 4, so I started cutting perpendicular to the donuts (horizontally...
I’m very excited to say that I will be collaborating with Sara and others crafty folks on the DIY City Magazine London issue, to be published in July 2009. The magazine is available online and will feature a ton of resources for independent artists, including the artists themselves–Maribel Made...
I've recently been able to get my hands on a CPK for myself and it arrived at my doorstep (so to speak, since I have a po box...lol) yesterday. I have to say I was really excited when I opened it up and looked at the little guy! Very nicely cast... I'll have to post pics of the thing when I get a...
So after suffering through the stenciling on the onesies last week or so, I realized that I had made a crucial error when trying to utilize this form of image reproduction. I used parchment paper instead of freezer paper to make the stencils. What's the big deal, you ask? Freezer paper is thicker...
Inspired by the maestro herself Vee. -------- How not to burn your spring rolls in the microwave. Take them out of the metallic insulating bag, thus effectively removing all chances of a fire. Suggested by Edwina, who learnt from experience.
Ok posted just recently, an image of wave 2 of the CPK (Cell Phones Kill) series of DIY resin figures. They look pretty good to me, but the coolest part is they mention something about another surprise coming... hmmmm... also it looks like if you submit your designs, they'll start posting em on the...
Every now and again I see an outrageously well-done custom show up at Custom Toy Lab (CTL) and have to post about it here, so that none of you will miss out on the good artistry. :D The latest is a Labbit by Squidboy (aka Shawn Michael Evans). You can view more images on the CTL page (link). Also be...
The Duchess Kitty crochet pattern is finally finished. You know how sometimes a project drags on and you just can't seem to complete it? That's what happened with Duchess. Anyway, she's finally finished, and the crochet pattern is available in my Etsy shop for $3.00. If it is sold out, just send me...
It's Saturday night at 10:00... I've had some coffee, and I'm caulking! Over the past couple of days, I've managed to re-install a toilet with a new wax ring, replace the seat, caulk around the toilet, and caulk all around a recently re-glazed bathtub. Of course, I couldn't have done it without the...
Oil is a crucial component for your engine. While it operates, the oil lubricates important moving parts, such as the cylinders. Without this necessary lubricant, your engine will generate too much friction and will cause serious damage to your vehicles engine. To ensure you engine is properly...
Now that I'm home all the time I've been catching up on the things I like to do the best - making stuff. I have been playing around with my new camera, organizing, and knitting up a storm, especially now that my feet get so swollen I can't bend my toes (knitting is easy to do whilst your feet are up...
Ok guys get your digital pens ready and your imaginations roaring.. The CPK templates are available apparently! Been watching this site and its been advertised that if you email them you'll get a hi res (not sure what format) template for your designing pleasure. Woot! Look for an idea or two here...
Full Wave 2 group and a nice "surprise" up next (what the hell could that possibly be?). Rumor has it the colorways are bitter enemies and will fight to the death (and will be a very limited run). VIA
The Suncatcher Eyes business is still growing! This month I have added lots of new colors, including neons and even glow-in-the-dark eyes! These new colors are gorgeous! I will be rolling out new listings in my Etsy shop over the next week, and hopefully life will be kind enough to give me a few...

I'm going to surprise you by saying that I am actually a very enterprising individual. I know, I know...you couldn't tell that from shop during the last year! I have simply chosen to curb my enthusiasm for business as I raise my young daughter. One of the nice things about being 'small potatoes' is...
