A Better Sweater

This is a craft project I recently actually completed. I used a merlot wool sweater that I've had forever and definitely should have retired several years ago. The longest part of the process was cutting the sweater into 3" long "leaves." I used foam core for the wreath base (it looks round, but it's actually flat!) and then hot glued the feathers on so that they overlapped each other evenly. And I did it all while watching Robert Altman's 1994 satirical look at fashion, Prêt-à-Porter. A must-see for every fashion enthusiast or anyone who's really into the 90s.

I made this: Project Tortuga

I got crafty recently in order to make the perfect wedding gift for two wonderful people, Aaron and Nora. Words on banners aren't special, but ones that say 'Isle of Tortuga' in silver glitter are.

Update: Nora told me this was the most thoughtful gift they received. That makes me feel awesome.
