My Creative Space

THE WHITE CLOUD came over to give me an hour sanity break, so naturally I went straight to the op-shop to find some things to play with!  (Clockwise from top left)
  1. Retro belt, perfect to wear with my royal blue 'Screamstress' jumpsuit.
  2. Skulls nightie, begging to be made into a flip skirt, for roller derby.
  3. Post-menopausal striped top in lovely soft cotton, perfect for derby shorts. (Already completed last night! See previous post)
  4. Lime green nylon kids tights that looks so much like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" that I hardly have a choice BUT to make them into caterpillars.
  5. Fabulous huge black glossy buttons for plush squids' eyes.
  6. Red with green flowers singlet top. 
For lots of other creative ideas, go on over to kootooyoo!
