My Crafts

I had a really bad experience on Etsy (see below rant), and so I don't want to have my shop on there anymore, though I've had it on there for a few years at least.  I do have a little site that's just my own crafts, too (http://www.wearetheleopards.net/), but I don't think anyone sees it unless they're clicking on the link from here, because I don't really know how to advertise or otherwise drum up interest.  It's sort of a bummer to me, though, or I guess it's just the downside of making crafts --  because I make these really pretty scarves and hats and purses and coasters and jewelry.  It's my hobby (as it is many girls that look and act like me, I suppose), but then I just put them in boxes and sometimes I look through them all and feel proud that I made something so pretty, but also ridiculous that it's all stashed away in boxes.  

Anyway, I think that from now on, I will occasionally list some of my things on here, and close down my Etsy shop.  If nothing else, it sort of pleases me aesthetically to see the occasional purse posted here, in between the rants and Evil Dead II clips.  And, I dunno, inquire if you're interested in purchasing anything I post.


 LITTLE TROUBLE GIRL PURSE $22 PLUS SHIPPING, SLIGHTLY NEGOTIABLE



THIS IS THE LITTLE DESCRIPTION I POSTED ON ETSY ABT THIS SWEET BABY OF A PURSE:
The body of this purse is crocheted from a yarn w/ the following blend: 22% wool, 50% acrylic, 28% nylon -- it is fuzzy and comforting to the touch. A stunning panoply of color: eggshell, hot pink, halloween orange, beige, green. lovely. the purse body measures 10 inches wide by 10 inches long. features folk-art aesthetic imperfections such as visible tan hand stitching in the lining in the inside of the purse, which is a beautiful fabric pattern, a motif of pink flowers and fern-like leaves printed on a bed of midnight blue (cotton fabric). there is also a patchwork aesthetic to the purse lining, as the primary fabric cover is interrupted with an odd-shaped patch of black cotton fabric (see photos). the handles are made from thick braids of a sturdy black acrylic yarn. created with care and attention to detail in a smoke and pet free environment. xoxoxo

Grand Rapids, Michigan by Robin Crane

  I am at a mental hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I had never been to this city before. My room is right next to  the bay of telephones. I feel sad hearing so many patients start conversations with their friends or family and then so soon say,  "Oh, you have to go? Well...goodbye."

Birthday Card Book

IN keeping with the more than usual focus on my mom, who passed away almost a year ago now,  here is a book she made me for my 14th birthday.  

Mermaid Sisters by Robin Crane

      Mikayla knew that Diana tried to listen for actual words among the riotous din that drifted over from the elementary school whenever the kids were on the playground. More than once, she’d say something like, “I know they’re having conversations, but with all of them talking at once, it just sounds like they're all yelling at the top of their lungs at the same time.”    Diana liked being able to faintly hear the morning announcements, but she didn’t like young children, and their playful noises sounded like seagulls aggressively squawking for the same pizza crust. Their family home growing up had been close to the beach, and they were currently sharing an apartment in a valley that was always hot and smoggy, with a sprawling building of U-Haul storage spaces, and the school of course, replacing the ocean as their view; hearing seabird noises out here felt like a taunt.     No matter how many knots even a casual glance from Mom or ...
