Your Burning Up My Heart - Pop-Up Valentines

I've been playing around with watercolors a lot lately and I've been getting better at every project. For Valentines Day I decided to try my hand at pop-ups!
I cut out my burning heart illustration and mounted it on an "unequal angle fold". I also created a moire pattern spinner in the background. I mounted some patterned paper on the cover, hiding the folds and tabs.

More pictures (and video!) below.
I've also posted some process pictures up on flickr!

The Boob

I've been having a very crafty winter! I knitted up this breast pillow for my friend who just had a baby. Its my first really close friend to start having kids, so I wanted to make her something both functional and hilarious.
Behold! The Boob: This is a slightly modified pattern from http://bleuarts.blogspot.com
I've had such a huge response from this. Everyone seems to love it! Really, who doesn't love boobs? I've already knitted a hat version and I want to knit a bunch of small ones to fill up my couch. I dream of relaxing in a sea of knitted plush tits...

Watercolors and Cats

I've been working on my watercolor skills. This is a portrait of Reggie. Its an exorcise in watercolor and ink wash.
Anyone interested in a cat portrait?
