YouTube Craft Page and Video Links

So I'm trying my skill at making craft videos.  I move on to different types of mediums all the time...I feel that this is just another step in that movement. I posted the first video, Resin Name Plate on  New years Eve and the newest video Octopus Arm Mustache was uploaded this evening.  I'm having so much fun making videos right now...who knows if this may be my new thing for 2014.

Clockwork Orange Cufflink DIY

With Halloween fast approaching, I figured I had better get my costume in order.  So, as the title suggests, my outfit has something to do with the movie Clockwork Orange.  Actually, my costume is the iconic white costume.  I still need to find a pair of white suspenders (and I'm not going to wear that jock strappy thing) and I need a bowler hat.  Anyways, the little somewhat critical piece of the outfit--the eyeball cufflinks, is finished!  I'm trying my skill with making tutorials on video, so please click the link below to see my first VIDEO DIY!

 

Scotch Tape Most Gifted Wrapper

I've got gift wrapping skills, so I thought I would enter the Scotch Tape Most Gifted Wrapper contest.  I had so much fun composing my entry!  I believe that finalists will not be notified until late October. You know, this was my first time editing a video. My video is only a minute and 25 seconds, but it took me over two hours to cut and past stuff together.  I really need to get to know the ends and outs of Movie Maker.  Without further ado, here is my entry video!

Pill Case Makeover!

 

Since I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I've had to take various amounts of pills.  My number of daily pills usually increases with symptom severity.  Unfortunately, since the new year; I have been prescribed so many pills that I have needed to employ the use of a pill case. 
When choosing a pill case, well to be honest...the selection was limited.  All pill cases at the drug store were plain, dull and had a very somber feel.  Sometimes my illness gets me down, so the last thing I need is a reminder of unfortunate circumstances. 
It was only fitting that I give my pill case a make over.  Using my Scribbles paints, I threw down some color.  I didn't have a plan for the paint, just knew I wanted a little color to keep my mind off of things. I had a few resin cabochons laying around and decided to glue a few on. Nothing fancy, just doing something in the spur of the moment.

Failure to FAB

I saw this woman wearing an amazing bleached denim over shirt.  The denim had been bleached in a tie dye effect, thus leaving her shirt with tons of pattern.
I purchased a turqoise, button up shirt at a yard sale and thought I would try to do my own bleach tie dye diy. I crinkled the shirt up and held the random folds with rubber bands. I put a cup of bleach in a small tub of bleach and threw the balled up shirt in. I left the shirt in the bleach water over night. In the morning I eagerly removed the rubber bands only to realize....that nothing happened. The shirt looked the same as before it took its bleach bath. Whaaa? Looking at the shirts tag I read that 30%of the material is polyester...30% of polyester makes for 100% failure when it comes to bleaching out color. I call the project quits.
A week later I come upon a detached silk collar in my project pile. I decide that collar would look nice on a solid colored shirt. I hand stitched the collar on to the existing collar and voila...failure to fab!

No change to shirt color so new collar was added

Collar was sewn on to existing collar for stability.

Tonight's episode of The Game

More background work....and on this one, I really have to stress BACKGROUND. 
The show is The Game and it aired on BET...the episode is called, "Swan Song for Rick and Tasha".

It's going to be awhile until my next appearance on film, so until the next time!

More film work!

I've been fairly busy these last two months with film work.  In June, I scored a pretty good gig working on Tyler Perry's sitcom, For Better or Worse.  I am the reoccurring nail tech in the show's salon.  I ended up working on around 8 episodes. 
Recently, I worked on an Adam Sandler movie called, Blended.  In the two days I was at the set, I worked 24 hours!  Unfortunately, most of that time was in the extra's holding-waiting to get ON set.
It was last month that one of the projects I worked on in December, finally showed. 

The show is Devious Maids on the Lifetime channel.  Again, my good friend Shawn was able to get these crystal clear photos from the show.  I'm the woman in pink. 
The next project I may be seen in is this Tuesday on BET, The Game. We'll see if that showing will provide any good still shots of my extra work.
