Welcome To Earth David

That would be me of course, making one of the hats I’ll be selling when I get my business going. The fall season is here and as most of you out there who keep up with my blog know that the four things I love the most in life are getting outdoors, my crafts, movies, and listening to my music. Going to the lake in the fall season is my most absolute favorite thing in the world. I love the cool air, the leaves changing colors, the beautiful sky over the water and just sitting there with some yarn and a crochet hook or my knitting needles making a hat. That is just what I did yesterday. I am going back out there today, despite how high the gas is right now. Screw it right. Life is too short to stay cooped up in the house all the time right. Later!!

Today I want to touch on a subject that I haven’t written about since I switched over to wordpress. Those of you who have been following my blog lately may not have a clue that I am a very crafty kinda guy. I love doing things creative with my hands. I knit, crochet, and I also make jewelry. Right now I have three knitting projects going on, which I may post about later. For now however I wanted to show off these rather not so neat shrink plastic dog tags I made last night. I made these with the clear type of shrink plastic and sharpie permanent markers. Shrink art is one of my favorite pastime activities although I really haven’t explored it’s possibilities extensively but I plan to play around with this a little more because I love how these little dog tags came out. I think however that I’m going to try the normal plastic with colored pencils because I think the pencil art on these would look much better since the pencils won’t run like the markers did on this clear plastic. These were just practice pieces so the ink runs are no big deal.
