The Starfish Thrower

Posted on December 10, 2017 by icekat

I love watching Molly’s videos on YouTube, a lot of which has to do with her soothing voice. I’d heard this story before but when I listened to her tell it, I just felt inspired to do a journal page … Continue reading →

A Few Little Projects

Posted on December 5, 2017 by icekat

I’ve been making pretty paper clips for my travelers notebooks, which can act as bookmarks since they have ribbon clusters sticking off them. I really like them, so I clipped a bunch around an envelope to show them off. I’m … Continue reading →

I added a couple new pieces to the Etsy shop for the Black Friday sale, going on until the end of the month. These went up on Monday, but I only now got to posting them here. I knew I … Continue reading →

This is just a quickie post to show some goodies I grabbed on my last trip to Dollarama. These bracelets were all $3 and under, and have some nice beads and dangles that will fit on travelers notebook elastic enclosures. … Continue reading →

Posted on October 11, 2017 by icekat

Here is my second batch of cards: #3 Tombsday, #6 Folklore Friday–Banshee, #7 Cobweb Crawler, #8 Deep Sea Denizens–Anglerfish. Looking for references for the spider wasn’t my favourite thing… I really don’t like them at all. I do admit that … Continue reading →

Solar Eclipse

Posted on August 21, 2017 by icekat

The solar eclipse in Toronto was underwhelming. My photos of the sun don’t really show the 80% coverage we had here. The light was still fairly bright, but odd. I put my large milky quartz out to absorb some of … Continue reading →

Photography and Orange

Posted on August 12, 2017 by icekat

Thought I’d get ahead on my deco signing! A very simple Polaroid design for a photography deco, and a lion for an orange monochromatic book. These aren’t my favourite pieces, but they’re done and ready to go. I’m second-guessing the … Continue reading →

August Decos

Posted on August 7, 2017 by icekat

So… I just sold the Ganesha travelers notebook last week, and another Samhain Zine yesterday. Which leads me to think that I really ought to get at making more of both! So I got out my paints and naturally I … Continue reading →
