Typography Shrine

This project was made as a personal swap with another Craftster member who is also a graphic designer.  She made me something I needed to make personalized earrings and in return asked for one of my shrines.  She wanted a graphic design or typography themed shrine though.  I said hmmmmmm not super sure what I would do for that....  

I did a few searches for typography to get some ideas and then I went through my stash.  I knew I had this great & symbol and have had it for years.  That was the start and what the rest of the shrine ended up be based off of.  

I went on a hunt to the Craft store to see what else I could find and decided that some tiny symbol stamps would work for something and I found the number charms along with a tiny metal box charm.

I spray painted my shrine black and began to assemble it with a black, white, and neutral theme.  The & bead had the perfect loop on it for me to hang the 3 from.  This gives it some needed depth.  I decided to use the stamps as a base.  It's hard to see but I chose another & and the ! for the front.  After I hung the three it still seemed to bare..  I decided to alter the metal box charm I purchased with some of the alphabet. 
 

Here is the back of the shrine


I ended up also using a bit of black and white striped washi tape since the paper I used with the 7's didn't agree to being cut...

I really hope the person I sent it to liked it.  This one made me stretch my imagination a bit since it wasn't a typical theme.

Easy Tote Bag

 This is the second tote bag I have made using the 20 Minute Tote bag tutorial from The Purl Bee
This one was made for the Box of Color Swap and was just as easy to put together as the first one I made. I admit I went a bit over the top with the straps though... They are quite a bit longer than what you would normally find on a tote bag.  

The next time I make one I am thinking of making it lined and maybe with a pocket on the outside.  I gotta say I love the internet and Pinterest which helps to teach me all kinds of new things to make.  Not everything is successful but I know I have mastered the tote bag!
