I’ve just finished this yoyo set that I’ve been working on for a while. It’s a bit different from the old regular ones. This new style contains 64 yoyos, as opposed to only 16 and it uses no matte. It’s in the shop here.
So, once again, it’s been so long since my last post that I have an inbox full of links to share, I think a lot of them came from Craft or whip-up.
-Here is an inspiring tutorial on papercut work. Back in the day when I first worked in graphic design my specialty was in paste-up and wow many people with my way around a pen knife. What can I say, I really love cutting. Sadly, I’ve realized nowadays when I need to cut something I revert to scissors…yes, I know, gasp. Scissors are a sin in paste-up. Anyway, I think I need to try my hand at some paperwork soon.
-This link reminded me of Rosa’s project, Found Art Tuesday. The Toy Society encourages people to leave handmade toys out for people to find.
-Here is an energetic mixtape I’ve made for you. Listen, and just try to not shake your booty.
-A funny link to AFI’s top 100 films summed up in 5 words.
-Hey creative ladies! This just in, keep plants in your studios and be more creative and productive! I read this on AOL yesterday: In a study from Texas A&M University, women who worked for an hour in a room decorated with two potted plants and a bouquet of flowers generated 13% more ideas than women in a room with abstract sculptures. Studies show that plants are a mood booster, and good moods are associated with higher levels of dopamine, the hormone that controls the flow of information throughout the brain. Your next bright idea: Head to a nursery or garden store and pick up a few houseplants of your own.
