Normally I'd obsess until I was satisfied, but I had a time constraint--a birthday. I'd planned to wrap my friends portable turntable with sunflowers (only $0.99 at Wal-Mart for what you see there) but had forgotten how large the box was.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1073/1098784842_a80b147e2b_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1073/1098784842_a80b147e2b_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />So I felt it was a little sparse, tried to add some ribbon I had lying around (only had orange, pink, or gold--and gold made it look a bit too 'holiday'). Orange seemed to clash a little but as Tim Gunn would advise, I was just trying to 'make it work.' I also had hemp rope, and thought maybe I could do a whole "natural" spin, but the rope was rather thin and was overwhelmed by the massiveness of the box. I was also unhappy with the placement of the sunflowers (maybe I shouldn't have glue-gunned them on...).<br /><br />I'm not super-proud, but I think it turned out decent.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114006176333869755-1810482191959281931?l=susupopblog.blogspot.com'/></div>Susernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114006176333869755.post-76183675943548010892007-06-05T08:56:00.000-07:002007-07-10T18:07:24.799-07:00<div>Well, it's been a while since I posted and I must say that my life's been changing a lot--and this blog'll follow suit. Less material wants (let's face it, with grad school approaching, I'll be learning to live with a lot less in my life) and more materials--to craft with, that is! It's been a long-time passion of mine to "make stuff" so that's what I'll be documenting here. I intend for "stuff" to encompass home decor, gifts, doodles, plush toys, scarves, food...you get the idea! </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114006176333869755-7618367594354801089?l=susupopblog.blogspot.com'/></div>Susernoreply@blogger.com0
