So far the crafting I have done for this class was in smaller chunks of time, 15 minutes here and there. I am still settling into my school/internship/work schedule for the semester so I feel like I am doing everything at the wrong time. Ideally, I would like to give myself a set time during the week to craft for an extended period of time.
I've noticed I feel more relaxed and focused when I am crafting, although I do get a bit frustrated when my ideas don't translate through whatever medium I am working with as well as I had imagine. With more practice and more time I'm sure this will become less of an issue.
I liked that I had free range on what sort of craft to do this week. I have recently gotten into Pinterest, which is a great place for inspiration- although sometimes it sucks you in and you pin more crafts, recipes and outfits than you know what to do with! this week I tried to work with materials I already have. I attempted to make a wall decoration of sorts using a shoe box and feathers, which unfortunately wont be going on my wall. I also am playing around with repurposing clothes I don't wear anymore. I've been cutting up fabric, braiding it and seeing where that goes. So far I have a very comfortable double wrap around headband.
