post #8 knitted bow

post #8 for my Make Something Cool Everyday is a knitted hair bow

I didn't use a pattern for this but it wasn't too hard to create. I just used my leftover yarn from a hat that I made a few weeks ago. I do love this green color!

post #7 luscious beanie

my #7 post for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY project---a luscious beanie!





I found this pattern on ravelry by Julie Weisenberger. The pattern was incredibly easy to follow and I enjoy the finished product. I whipped this hat out in 1 day which is perfect because the weather here is COLD!

post #6 paper cut

I made a paper knife using cardstock and tape. I used yarn to show gory blood.

I probably could have taken this to a further, gross and icky level but I thought that would take away from the presence of the paper knife and thus the theme--paper cut.

I hope this made you smile in a weird way =)

post #4 froggies

For my #4 post for my MAKE SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY project I made an origami frog.

I had this idea of a "from 2D to 3D" photoset for sometime now. I think I will expand upon it throughout the year so stay visual! be excited for I am!

I honestly don't remember where I learned to make the origami frog. I started making them in 3rd grade and I used to make whole family of frogs and carry them around in origami baskets that I also made. I was a sad sad child haha

I think tomorrow I may explore the world of origami...exciting!

Grandpa

I never really knew my grandpa that well. I do know that he was a well respected Kiowa man that fought to keep our indian traditions alive. He was one of the few that went to congress to defend our use of Peyote for our native american church. He made many many friends and ran many peyote meetings.

What I do remember is that he never referred to me as Taraneh, but as Boyoma. My indian name that he picked. Among his many talents was his ability to paint. I wish that I could have known him now because I think he would have been impressed with my beading. I hear that's one area he was unable to really grasp =)

here is a painting that is hanging at my grandma's house

new year.new plans

Okay as I have mentioned in the past, I am going pro on flickr. Very few things can actually inspire me, but after viewing LaserBread's "make something cool everyday" photo set, I feel the need to tackle this same project. I hope to be successful with my posts and although I do not have anywhere near the same talent level as this guy, I hope that I will continually improve throughout the year.

Here is a link to my flickr photo set make something new everyday

So, here is post #1




pattern found on knitty
