(Sharpie)ning My Crafting Skills

Greetings again from Craftland! I must have inhaled too many Sharpie fumes because I simply cannot stop coloring things with them. Seriously. I've moved onto canisters. You'll see! Tim needed to go to the office supply store for some nerdy computer goods and I saw these bad boys...

How could I possibly resist? I'm telling you it was like the Sirens calling to Odysseus, except I didn't have cotton in my ears. So I bought them! What else could I do? Tim was being stubborn, not asking for help to find the dodads he wanted and I was left there alone with these beauties! Seventeen dollars later...

I completed everything you see above in one night! I was proud. I would draw a line and tell Tim to look. I was excited, to say the least. I was on a sort of diamond kick and finished with a flowery peacock flourish!

I was feeling particularly adventurous and I began with the canister first. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to accomplish; I only knew I wanted something cute and different. I let my creativity wander and I found myself drawing diamonds all over this canister. I wanted to add a POP of color so I used my new pink and orange Sharpies for some extra kick! 

The same idea traveled onto this dainty little mug that is just so stinkin' cute now! It's too bad that I drink way too much coffee to even consider this a practical everyday sort of coffee mug...

 And finally, without further ado, I introduce this bad boy! I must say that I may have gotten carried away with this one... However, no matter the delirium, I still think it came out pretty neat. 

Okie dokie, Artichokie. That's it. Another craft post on my blog. It's been fun. It's been real. It's been fun and real. Let me know if you're out there, anyone. Someone. Hello? 

Until we meet again.... Bon soir!
