Arts and Crafts :)

Hello, everyone. Sorry I'm kind of slow about writing. It's so easy to get behind on things and then suddenly realize that the month is half over already!!! I have been a bit stressed out lately applying to graduate schools and also getting ready to study abroad in Japan. To relax, usually I like to read, hang out with friends, or see a movie. Sometimes though, I like to do art projects.

I have always liked to draw, but lately I haven't been doing much drawing. Since I live near a big arts and crafts supply store called "Hobby Lobby," it's easy to get supplies for doing crafts, so last week, I made two dolls:

The one on the left is the Sally doll, and the one on the right is the Jack doll. These are characters from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which I really like. The art is so beautiful! And so is the music. I'm not very good at sewing, so the clothes aren't very well made, but luckily, you can't really tell that from these pictures :) The faces are drawn on in marker, and though I had to dye the Sally doll blue, these were really pretty easy to make. At Hobby Lobby, you can buy everything you need to make dolls (along with lots of other things). I bought the doll bodies already sewn together, so I just had to fill them with stuffing and make the clothes.

Art really helps me to relax. This weekend, I need to do a lot of homework, but next weekend, I hope to make another doll :) Talk to you later !
