| Hmm...I do that all the time.~
Nothing new with me really; I had to be at work at 6:30 yesterday morning and I still haven't slept more than maybe 2 hours in the last 2 days. Wee. I'm going to die. Buuut, I'm currently making myself a purse out of an old vynal record cover. 'Tis going to be epic when I'm done. And I'll show everyone, and they'll love it so much they all want one, and I'll be instantly popular and make millions of dollars and I'll never have to worry about money again.~ Weeee!~~

| Most arses tend to resent being sat on, from what I hear. U_U LOL
Truth be told, I'm more of an "art" person than a "craft" person; I mean, I do love crafts, but I tend to be easily frusteratedb with them...it's very much a love-hate relationship. xD; I mainly like jewlry repair/design, scrapbooking, and other various things that don't require much sewing when I do crafts; I've never been very good at or interested in sewing...much to the lament of my grandmother. Although I'm thinking of taking up plushie and/or doll-making soon as I've got some extra time and a few ideas I'd really like to get out. :O We'll see how the purse/bag goes first though, methinks.

| Oh man, don't even get me started on unfinished paintings. I've got maybe three or four oil paintings I want to completely paint over. Gonna sand and gesso them. Does gesso even work over oils ? I thinned them with linseed, but... :/
Pretty much given up doing paintings from imagination with oils. They always turn out crap even with reference. Back to lovely still life and portraits <3
As if I have the time !
I remember one of the crafts I used to do involved finding discarded flight feathers, cleaning them, and making them into quills. But I can only use the cheap breakable nibs because the good ones are expensive and I actually use them :P But my feather quill was my best prop on Harry Potter day C:
Did all my class assignments with it xD

| It's really pretty easy, as long as you can find a good feather and clean it thoroughly. Afterwards, you just gotta snip off the pointy tip to expose a bit of the hollow shaft and insert a nib with some superglue. Then glue ribbon over a little bit of the nib and wind it around the shaft to make a grip.
Maybe I'll photo if I can find one lol.
