More craftiness.

I bought some Dickensian fingerless gloves from “jmillen” on Etsy. She cut the sleeves off of a wool sweater, felted them, and sold them to me for $6.

When I got them today, they needed thumb holes cut, as advertised. They were also pretty ill-fitting, being felted and lacking the sexy curves my wrists naturally have.

So, I made thumb holes, created an angle on the wrist, and tailored the arm seam. I’ve had them on for hours now, and they are indeed quite relaxing!

Here is the finished product, with before-and-after pics after the jump

Today I acquired an old, torn shearling coat from a nice Craig Lister (a man who had already given me other free stuff, as it turns out).

Looking for a moccasin pattern to try out, I ran across this page describing a method for making buckle-on sandals out of tire rubber and nylon webbing:

Someday I’ll try to make a pair of these for myself.

I also got a small (child’s) bike wheel and tire from the same gentleman, for some mod, industrial design project, yet unthought-up. There’s a mod store on Pearl Street which incorporates bike wheels into large, movable room dividers which look very cool.
