friday night's alright for crafting

between spending about 3 hours at the dmv renewing my liscense in the morning and the pouring rain on friday night, i wasn't really feeling like doing anything involving leaving my house.  since the boyfriend had band practice and i was home alone (well just me and carlos) i decided to get working on some crafting i'd been putting off: painted drift wood & god's eye.  both inspired by the free people blog (of course)! the god's eye i'd made before, using popsicle sticks back in elementary school.



i had collected the driftwood back in novemeber, so it was about time i get to doing something with it.  i just used some acrylic paint that i had left over from 2-d art.  it was super easy and fun, doesn't require any special skills, except i only had red, blue, yellow, black and white paint which meant i had to mix all the colors myself.  the god's eye was pretty easy as well.  all you have to do tie two sticks together in a cross and wrap the yarn around each stick consecutively.  i used random scraps of yarn left over from various knitting projects. 


looks pretty good next to my diy dreamcatcher!
