The Adventures of Lily! (Eva)

Hello all!
I'm Lily (as you know)
and I enjoy doing a variety of things while playing JD.
I'm a grad and since the job market exploded, I spend my time doing boredom inspired crafts out of things lying around..I call that being French!

Prepare to enter a place of mayhem and foolishness I call art!

Sorry about the links, my pics were too wide for the site!

I finished this, this week.
The Witchking Armor for LOTR

Boot covers:
I would have taken a pic with em on, But when I cleaned my room I hung em up, and dont wanna rehang em (LAZY)

All the things above are made of watercolor paperboard and hot glue.
The gauntlets fit well and work like real armor. (just dont pour water on me! lol)
All I need now is a robe and I'm all set!

Stay tuned for more boredom inspired art!
Please feel free to leave comments!
Tell me what ya think!
I love people's opinions about stuff I made!

wow, thats some awesome stuff you made,lily!!
thats really good, so dont say its boring! =_=

Thanks Mei!
I didnt call it boring..Just boredom inspired!
I crave for new projects..and when I get an Idea I run with it!

My next project is a chest plate..
I'm still pondering how to make it more..."female fitting" lol

Lily! yer skilled indeed awesome!

Thanks Seb! ^_^

Since you all have your pets on here.
I'll join in.
We have 3 cats..
Okie, Scooby and Cc

Here is Okie..
I spoil him rotten and he has a million pet names..
He's my baby!

He was sleeping on my (now his) baby blanket, so asleep I couldn't wake him easy! So I saw that as an opportunity to put some fake food on him..
Mm cardboard cookies and fabric eggs!

soo cuteee!
can i steal him?

Steal my baby?!!
How can you be so cruel!!

rotfl!

OMG you have the same hobby as me lol, well not a hoby for me, more like a stress reliever, doing something quite repetitive

wow,these stuff r great n ur pets' cute,
i wont ask ur permission to steal him

sawwyy lily!! but hes too cute to NOT steal him xP

Run Okie run!

Phew..The chestplate is being a pain!
It may just be a decoration..it's not fitting right.
it's sized properly..but poorly designed..(mistake on my part)
I wont give up yet..
it looks good..just has some problems!

you already working on it?
i want to see when its finished
so, dont give up!

Mornin' all!
*Yaaawn*

Kay kay!
Today's project features a doll I made in honor of one of my fav rock musicians!

I present ALICE COOPER (chibi style)

https://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac276/LillyBeck/Crafts/?action=view&current=Coopercoatback1.jpg

The fun thing about this one was that the "leather" was made entirely of black electrical tape.
It was a fun challenge and worth the time!
I actually sent a pic of it to Cooper himself..But I never heard back

Stay tuned for more Adventures of Lily!
Dahh doo doo dee!

oh my ! its great

wow! awesome!

Thanks Seb!
Thank you Mei!

^_^

Btw!
If i made anything that inspires you.
Let me know, I'll write out directions!

hmm.. first thing i thought about was..how about a Nori doll? (my pet xD)
did you ever made something like a butterfly?

A butterfly sounds like an interesting challenge!
If ya got a pic or 2 of what you mean I'll stick it in my "To do" crafts

Today's project to post is a small kimono.
It fits on normal sized dolls you get at craft stores.
But on this pic, it's on my headless doll dummy!

Front: https://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac276/LillyBeck/Crafts/?action=view&current=kimonolight.jpg

Back: https://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac276/LillyBeck/Crafts/?action=view&current=KimonoBack.jpg

It was made with scrap material and hand sewn.
The sleeves are lined and made in the traditional manner.
The body was too big to line...didnt have enough fabric!

For my grandmother's birthday, she wants one of the stuffed bunnies I make in a red-orange kimono..That'll be a challenge!

The bunny I made for my friend:
https://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac276/LillyBeck/Crafts/?action=view&current=GEDC2634.jpg
In tropical summer clothes!

Anyway! time for me to get in game!
See you there!

Stay tuned...Blah blah blah.. too early!
Dah doo doo dee!

I keep em as part of my portfolio..Or give em away..

but as a doll

You mean put wings on like that on a doll?
Or just plain butterfly?

Today's project is not a serious one.
I feel lazy sometimes and dont want to start something huge!
Meet Jolly Roger..The sock puppet sailor:

https://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac276/LillyBeck/Crafts/?action=view&current=Namelesspuppetpipe.jpg

His pipe is made out of 2 wooden tube beads and a thread spool.

lol, jolly is cute!
