13 Days 'til BEA: Making Necklaces

I made two duct tape necklaces today!

The first one was a little easier since I was still working with the orange linen color from the two previous necklaces. It came together quickly as I strung rectangle duct tape pieces to some brown embroidery floss. I cut fringes into each piece. When I put it on, I was able to see that it lacked shape:

 

My problem was solved by trimming down the larger sections at the center of the necklace.

14 Days 'til BEA: Road Trip To Mattapan And Gaffigan In My Head

Today I drove to Boston and back. The reason for my 3 1/2 hour journey (both ways) was a duct tape crafting workshop at the Mattapan branch (of the Boston Public Library). Click on the pic to see more photos from today's event.
