Stuff I’ve made
This page will try to gather all the various things I’ve created – drawn, sewn, designed, directed (ha), crafted and so on. As of yet incomplete, and perpetually a work in progress! I do realise it’d be nicer if there were pics rather than having to click on the links, but… meh. For now. *lol*
Sewing and so on
- Rainbow iPhone pouch – made with separate fabric strips. Lined in microfibre!
- Soft toy laptop (and in progress) – this is half-done by hand and half on the machine. And in between the two lay approximately three years! *lol* (based on my beloved Sony Vaio Tr1mp)
- The rainbow skirt was done more or less free-hand out of T-shirts (well, I had a template for the panels). Close up of the mini-rainbow on the top.
- Kitty iPhone bag – birthday present for Alisdair 2011. I admit I shamelessly copied this from one I saw on Etsy, but since I wasn’t making a profit, I decided it was ok.
- Another stripey iPhone pouch – this was pre-sewing machine and done by hand.
- Colourful peasant top – I made this in a dressmaking class I went to.
- Very colourful dog coat and smaller version made for Mon’s two Chinese Crested.
- Soft toy Manhattan – this is quite old by now. The top is an iron transfer printed from Google Earth. *hah*
- Sewing machine cover with pockets and stuff.
- Onesie with appliqué waistcoat, an experiment. For Mon’s little one.
- Cross-stitched cushion made for friends (in progress, pattern). Font is Kingthings Xstitch, tho modified a bit. The fish design was done by hand.
- Lavender birdies sewn by hand for Xmas 2011. Some more.
Drawing, painting, scribbling
- Sketchbook Project 2011 – this is a massive set on Flickr. Watercolour drawings, the topic was Finding yourself or sth like that.
- Bookshelf postcard – drawn for Ange, this has a lot of references to stuff she likes.
- Flowers, rainbow, unicorn! – watercolour postcard for someone on Postcrossing.
- Rainbow on my bathroom wall – says it all really.
- City Life Postcard design done for a Postcrossing swap. In the same series there’s Mansion, Peace and Home.
- Colourful acrylics painting. I don’t really paint much. This was a leaving present for a friend, done by request. Don’t think I have a pic of it completed.
- Whale postcard done for someone on Postcrossing. Also acrylics!
- Let’s Learn Luxembourgish – postcard design I made for someone on Postcrossing (have since had them printed on Moo, cuz they’re cool! *lol*)
- Birdies for my bathroom – drawn with sharpies. They’re meant to be painted on the wall eventually. We’ll see if that ever happens.
- Rainbow coat postcard done for Postcrossing Handmade swap.
- Life is sweet postcard design for Postcrossing Handmade swap.
- Four Nudes which I did in quick succession some time in the year 2000.
- Bridge in Mostar – kinda lame watercolour done in 2002 or so.
- Whiteboard & blackboard – simple drawings done in 2000. You can click around, there are five pages in total.
- Rainbow House in watercolours – this is where Katwise lives.
- James Rizzi inspired bedside table – feat. a city scene and space.
- Quick Pavilion painting done… at some point.
T-shirts, iron on designs
I’m bored of this now, so you’ll get the short version. There’s some here, and there’s also my Zazzle store. Plus the Making of Broken-minded (which can be found on Zazzle). There were also various T-shirt designs feat. pics of my friends throughout the years. I’ll dig them up. Some day.
Writing
Find me on 100words.com and on Kreative-Erguesse.de (German). I think that’s pretty much it, at least for stuff that’s still online. 😛
Videos
Sorry for the slightly different layout. You can also directly check out my YouTube channel which has some more stuff (but some of it is linked below. Sorry).
- The Dangling video (real, 855kb, 1:23mins)
Done in April 2003, with the slore. About the whole Michael Jackson baby dangling incident. A lot of work went into this! - Your love… (link goes to blog entry)
Um. I wrote a really stupid poem to poke fun at crappy amateur poets… then tried to one-up myself by reciting it in various embarrassing ways. - Buy Poptastic (youtube, 0:46)
One of my most inspired moments, imho. *lol* It’s an ad for a cleaning product. I had loads of audio samples to play with. It was great fun! - Various poems & other crap (link to entry)
Nostalgia-entry. This is really only funny if you know the people involved. Ah, those were the days… - MTV Cribs at our old flat (youtube, 4:39mins) alt. 4.15MB .rm
MTV Cribs-style tour of our flat… including “funnyspeak accent” as popularised by the end of the world flash film. - DIY video made by Mon (wmv, 1.2MB, 1:15mins)
I made a DIY kit with pre-recorded audio snippets and photos and stuff.. and Monica came up with this :)) – again, funniest if you know the context and people involved. - Pat and Pride (link to entry, lots of videos)
The slore and I were at it again. Brighton Pride 2006, we had great fun annoying people with our vibrating dog. Shut up. Just read the entry for more info. This is the kinda stuff that makes me love people, rather than hate them. - Clarissa’s News at Night (youtube, 2:30min)
News show trivial stuff. Yes it’s meant to be funny! And I had great fun playing around with Adobe Premiere Elements. - My first Silent Movie (youtube, 1:58min)
“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.” Slightly… weird, hehe - Cooking for Dummies (youtube, 6:08min)
I can’t cook. Yet I have a cooking show? Go figure. Complete rubbish of course.
Miscellaneous
- Rainbow muffins (and more)- these are a “work in progress”, I want to figure out how to get the colours to stay in layers rather than turn into swirls.
- Rainbow earrings – I had a short jewellery-making phase too! *lol*
- Crazy – Why? is a weird installation and fake interview from 2001 I think.
- Julia – fake news article with self-portraits. *lol* Also 2001.
- I also used to make animated gifs / short stop motion films. Wish I still had better quality versions of this stuff (maybe I do? Will have to dig).
