First ever Crochet hat! and fishnet glove

This is the first hat i ever made thanks to Corrine from Threadbanger.com. They have a step by step tutorial on how to do it on the site. but she wasnt so specific about the dept, i just went in about 2 and a half inches,the hat she made may be deeper

as 4 the glove thats a random creation [i needed something to go with the hat] i only made one because i was lazy. but when i thought about it, on was just enough

you may be asking "renee why didnt you make one in black?" im already on the job lol. im going to make 2 black gloves; no hat though [not enough yarn :(] but i may make a black hat later but for now im sticking with the gloves.

aw yea! and te make up is my LA colors mineral green eyshadow i fished from te bottom of my makeup box with a little copper color right above it withblack liner and mascara and the lips are a purple lipgloss that came in a kit that i didt think i would like but when i tried it on it looked nice! [really complements the green]

Mod Artists Portfolio Case

i n

This is a case i made for art class. its made of 3 different color jeans and a litte leather. Ive been trying to get around to making it all week and i finally finished last night! this is the first project that i ever had to put a zipper in! who hoo! i did a pretty good job! :D now i can go to art class and my interviews in style!
i think i need to make more buisness cards i,im sure ill get some orders for these for sure.

Lady GaGa Poker Face inspired Face Bolt

finally made one of these, its out of an alluminum pop can and some industrial strength double stick tape from the hardware store, I know , sounds scary and permenant but its not. its actualy very secure. im wearing one monday i know ill get a substantial amount of orders.

"Cowl Girl" Tube scarf

One of my first knitting projects. I finally figured out how to do cables so i incorperated them all around thre scarf. Cables are the "twizzler"looking twisty patterns.I love this thing! its so cozy and will be nifty for the winter months ahead.:D

Collage Wallet

This is a purse I made from a collection of fashion related cut outs from different magazines I accumulated over the years.I arranged them in a way so they look like they "exist " in the same space and blend well together. This took a bit of time cutting out the pices precisely; and I think that made it that much more special because not only is it a handmade piece , Its a crafted one of a kind piece.

Floor Tile Clutch Purse

This is a clutch i made from my moms left over floor tile. The moment I saw it I saw like OMG that would be a cute clutch! I always loved structured, sturdy purses made from things other than fabric; [wood, metal, ect.] later ill figure out a closure and mabe attatch some chain for the straps and line the inside and put some levers and fabric on the side so it opens at a 30 degree angle and everything in it wont go spilling out
