Friday morning, Carson and I hopped the fence to the abandoned lot, next-door to her house. After clearing a 5’ x 5’ area, we planted a brandywine pink tomato, a yellow pear tomato, some basil, lettuce, and mint. Oh, and some of her [other] neighbors’ sunflower seeds. Let’s hope the soil isn’t poisoned! Yay.

Happy Summer Solstice! A Solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun’s apparent position in the sky to reach its northermost or southernmost extreme. -[Wikipedia]

Craft Paper.

What am I supposed to do with it?! Sure, I scanned the eleven different designs I got… but what now?

Envelopes? Stationary? Book Covers? Wallpaper?

I cut out some leopard print craft paper to look like claw slashes and tried transfering it to a t-shirt using gel meduim (which Carson taught me, see here), but forgot it doesn’t show up so well on black fabric! It’s kind of subtle, but looks pretty rad. And better yet, it proves you can use awesome Jo Ann Fabric craft paper for transfers!
