I framed this and gave it to my mother for Christmas.

Once the piece has been dipped in water, it is set aside to cool for a few hours. You can see some of the colors that have formed, but they are masked by the residue of the reduction. The piece will be taken inside, the soot will be removed, and it will be washed before it is displayed.

Its 1/1/2009 and I'm embarking on a journey of 365 days of crafts. I expect to feature crafts that I make to sell, projects that I do just for myself, and other surprises along the way. I also expect to mess up some and be well into 2010 by the time I hit 365. Here's to a new year!
Today I sorted out my 'Little Yummies' magnets and edited the pictures a bit getting them ready to list online tomorrow.

I've been hand piecing a quilt out of capulana squares. It has served two important purposes. One, it's a great conversation starter. I sit outside and people are very curious about what I'm doing. I won major street cred with the empregadas because I can sew. Two, I have not gnawed my arms off out of boredom. Did I mention no electricity leaves LOTS of time to fill?
