Guitar Pick Bracelet – It’s Pretty Rock n’ Roll

Tamara — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:29:13 +0000

I made something other than a sock monkey! Crazy- I know.

I have been trying to learn to play guitar for about 6 months. I am still awful at it, but luckily- I am stubborn.

In an attempt to avoid actual guitar practice but still stay somewhat related, I decided to make a bracelet that would tell the world how cool I am for playing guitar. Here it is.

Here it is on someones pale freckle riddin skin.

I made one for my friend who is learning to play with me. And my guitar teacher (who performs and stuff) thought it was cool and asked for one too. I happily made him one as well.

I was happy to help.

Monkey Needs Some TLC

I love seeing vintage crafts. Especially up close.
Recently, I was sent a very cute monkey that needed to be rebuilt.
Luckily- I had the technology.

You can see even in the before pictures she is a beautiful piece of work- just a bit torn up.
