The state of my craft projects OR Fighting the attention span of a gnat.
So, by way of snooping through the user profile of this guy from this shiny band I recently found out about (daniel_ap and Abney Park respectively), I came across steamfashion which I've added to my communities friend page filter and started skimming back through the recent posts.
So, how much of a dork does it make me that the first thought I had, upon seeing that someone posted directions on how to make a rosary, was "I should make Spiegel's resistor rosary." I do have a collection of resistors I bought when I still worked at Radio Scrap, though they were intended to be made into a slave bracelet. I haven't gotten around to that project yet. Maybe I should try to do both at the same time. Though, the ones I bought to make the slave bracelet are small, so I might be better off seeking some larger resistors for the rosary project. I'll ponder on this.
And since I'm making an entry on my various craft projects, I suppose I should document my other currently open projects. First there's the bio-hazard wife beater project. I found a good orange wife beater while out shopping for something else, found it for relatively cheap, and decided it was going to get the bio-hazard logo bleached into it, in an attempt to make something that's vaguely similar to this:

The current hold up is cutting the stencil since I don't think I can freehand the curves of the bio-hazard symbol well enough to keep it from looking like ass. I don't have much experience with an x-acto knife, so the actual stencil cutting is requiring much patience on my part. I will get it done eventually though. I really want the shirt.
While at Michael's picking up some of the stencil supplies, I happened across an end cap featuring glow in the dark yarn. I really shouldn't let myself wander that store and browse, as I have a tendency to go "Oooh, shiny!" and buy things I really don't need. That said, I've been meaning to make myself some black and white striped arm warmers for the longest of times, and now I can make 'em with the white yarn being glow in the dark. I'm almost half way done with those, as I'm mostly finished with the first one and it shouldn't take me long to whip out the second one. I love my round knitting looms. They're awesome.
