This is the first plushie I ever made (which happened a weeks ago). I'm horrible at embroidery, but he turned out well. This may something that would be easier to hand sew than machine sew. I'm impatient and hate hand sewing, so I used my machine.

It would be cute to make an outfit for it as well. I don't know how hard that would be though.

This week I'll post another homework assignment for everyone to do! The last one was to photograph your favorite toy in an artistic manner.

This weeks will be to make something only using your favorite color. That's the only rule to it, you'll have to rely on your creativity to do the rest! Take a picture of it and you can submit it to our tumblr!

Eden Arts and Crafts Club Gallery

It's not something you have to do, but it's a fun idea to get your creative fires burning. These are all going to be really simple ideas that everyone can do no matter what they are skilled in.

Not very hard at all! This was the second one. I've never done anything like this, either. It's really that easy.

Score! I'll have to share it on the nail polish thread too! I've been too lazy to do my nails again until last night, where they promptly got all fucked up. So while I absolutely love the colors I picked, I'm less than thrilled with what they look like right now.

If you do choose to submit something to the tumblr, send me a message on here to let me know. I don't get notifications about things people submit until I log in.

Here's a good question: what do all of you want out of this club?

Alright, I can do that. When I submitted those two photos, I just figured "Alright, I'll submit!" ...I worded that oddly, didn't I?

As for the club, just a weekly artistic thing to do and also share and see arts and crafts. It's fun to see other people's work and share my own as well.

I think it's fun to see what kinds of projects other people are working on.
So I think the "assignments" are a good idea.

Some how to's and tips would be good too, especially for people like me who aren't super crafty to begin with.

Hmm. I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of artistic things the community is capable of. I'm hoping to learn a few things about things I haven't tried before.

If you have any questions about anything, feel free to post about it in our subforum! I'm sure there is someone in the community can guide you in the right direction!

So our first meeting is coming to an end! Thank you all for coming. I'm still trying to get everything running smoothly, but I think we're off to a good start! I look forward to seeing what you all can do and learning a few things, myself!

I just thought of something. Maybe we could have some sort of halloween contest next month, like people who made their own costumes.

Omg I forgot all about this. Maybe sundays arent such a good idea. I kept thinking this was on a week day. SOOOOORRRRY. I wanted to be here.

Okay, so I'm really excited to make something in my favorite color.

But I have to decide which color I'll choose. Usually I have favorite color combinations, like brown and butter yellow, or something. I'll try to narrow it down..!
