4.11.11 ... auto antenna plug necklace

one day last week i found a small box with four of these inside. i don't know why i like them so much but i just do. the shape is so interesting. i love the package and the fact that they are auto antennas. so i immediately thought about making them into necklaces and, because i am struggling with the loss of our dear sweet cricket, i was unable to create anything that required a lot of thought, time, effort ... you understand, i know. so here is a simple upcycled auto antenna necklace. i may get fancier, more creative and embellish it. but, then again, i may not. i just love this thing.

how adorable is ernie? he's an oldie but goodie. i will list the necklace in my www.joonwalk.etsy.com shop one day soon.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

3.1.11 ... ladybugs 12 at the ladybug picnic

i couldn't resist making these recipe or idea note cards with the famous ladybug picnic bunch. i will add some designs around the edges tomorrow.

can you sing the song? if you'd like to have a sing-a-long here's a link for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr8vUTm64h0

it just doesn't get any better. and scout wants me to add that bud luckey, who currently works at pixar and has a long history with animation in television, film and commercials, wrote and animated ladybugs' picnic, among other treasured sesame street shorts. you should check out his wiki page for some inspiring reading.

as for me, it's late and time to start pondering what my next project will be. maybe i'll look through my old sesame street book. it's a winner.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

2.28.11 ... can you tell me how to get, how to get to sesame street?

i have this groovy old discarded book that tells the story of sesame street's beginnings and behind the scenes vignettes. it's very cool. i haven't used it for crafting. but today i decided it can be enjoyed best by coming out of the bin and yielding to my transforming powers. now these wonderful images can bring happy memories to many fellow sesame street character fans. starting with my own family...

creating practical art is always one of my favorite project goals. i made these oscar the grouch and mr. hooper magnets. do you love and miss mr. hooper like we do?

this is where i started - with this sesame street sign corner bookmark...

i love these graphics and the way the lamp globe placement winds up on the reverse.

and, last but never least, the count. this is the first super sized corner bookmark i have ever made. i couldn't resist.

isn't he 100% fabulous? so now the wheels are turning as i plan and brainstorm more new recycled art ideas.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
