The new account I'm writing (among other things) for has got me looking at crafty blogs and I find it difficult to turn away from all the interesting things I see there. Up to a couple of years ago, crafting wasn't such a big deal; there were just people who did it as a hobby. Now, a lot of people are crafting in some way or another: doing calligraphy, making washi tape art, creating one-of-a-kind cards, experimenting with all kinds of materials. There is a great crafting community and you can really feel the good vibes all around. It's nice.
Seeing the blogs and photos of art supplies and projects makes me think about my own neglected materials at home, and the projects I had planned but never got around to doing. I used to do a little project every week for a year back in 2010, and documented them in a blog. My favorite project was my t-rex--he's still in my room making merry bubbles with his girlfriend. The bubbles have popped, however. I think there's only five of them left.
Anyway, perhaps one of these days I'll go do a project or two. Perhaps a collab--I've been meaning to do some illustration-based stencils with a friend. We'll see.
