Painted Pumpkin Decorations

I've been seeing decorated pumpkin DIYs everywhere. A friend happened to pick up some little pumpkins for me and so opportunity struck! I went for a black and white theme. The idea is that when put together you can create a little pumpkin black tie suit. One pumpkin resembles pinstripe pants. Another pumpkin resembles a button down shirt. And the smallest pumpkin has a nice little 'stache to tie it all together. 

I thought it turned out quite nicely. Very seasonal and festive.

Embroidered Pencil Case

I have a habit of personalizing my stuff, as is obvious from some of the other projects on this blog. So when I got accepted into the Advanced Placement art course at my school I got a bit excited and decided to decorate my pencil case with all my charcoal and erasers and writing instruments. The materials: embroidery floss, needle, and a basic fabric pencil case. The process: honestly I didn't have very much of a process, I just guessed and tried to stitch in a design. 

I'm really looking forward to this school year.
