I would enjoy foxes. But I still hae. . . 6 hours according to my clock to do something mermaidy XD
I even thought about doing a mermaid something all weekend as I stared at the black screen of my computer XD

Yeah...I was going to do mermaid nails, but I currently don't have a way to upload and share pics (working on it) so...yeah.
XD
I like the idea of foxes! *digs around in yarn stash locations for fun yarns*

yeah, the month got away from me, and I couldn't find my acrylic liquid.

...Foxes? *PERK* I LOVE FOXES! :D

Lol....I'd say we have our new theme!
XD
Unofficial announcement incoming after I get sleep!

I tried to engrave King Triton into wood, but it didn't turn out well enough, so I decided against showing. You couldn't even properly see his tail fin.

That's about all the mermaid-y stuff I tried, but I might nevertheless throw in a late one once I get to the foxes.

Off Topic: (as in not hobby related)

THERE IS SO MUCH SMOKE IN THE AIR TODAY IT IS MAKING ME QUEASY. It's coming form Canada of all places and its super annoying here, I can't imagine how bad it is further north ; n;

It is very hazy also where I am. I thought it was just morning clouds, but I can't even see mt.baker the haze is so thick.
I also completely fell asleep and didn't mermaid XD

Damies: Also could be coming from my state some too, though probably not noticeably since we're far enough away....
The smoke here has been unpleasant, but hasn't affected me too much except my eyes are fairly irritated.

I was gonna do a stuffed mermaid, but I have mo skin colored yarns and I didn't feel like doing a "weird" colored one...

**Official Announcement**
(Cause Damies said it was okay that I do these...lol)

Well, the Dog Days of Summer might almost be over (I did actual research for this, so shush!), but we're still in puppy love with August's Craft-A-Long theme, foxes!
Get your craft supplies ready, this theme only lasts one month.

**Semi-Official Announcement**
Since I've kind of taken on the role of Craft-A-Long organizer and announcer, I'll be editing my first post in the thread to showcase the theme of the month and also to help organize crafting links relevant to the theme or just basic instructions to help people get started if they want to learn a new craft. So keep an eye out for that in the next few days.

So I showed someone my rugs and now they want to buy a custom one from me! :O

Woooo 31 days of procrastination
I mean
I will get my fox done asap!

Also congrats Monbon =D that's rad!

Yay! That's awesome Mon!

Haha...same here Sparx. Same here... >.>

Kaderin, when you edit your first post I will add in the title or first post or somewhere that that is where craft along info will be. 8D

Yay! I am co-host now! 8D

You are here more than me so it makes sense xD

Lol
That is true...

I have the perfect idea for a fox themed craft, but not the required supplies. Wish stores here would carry conductive thread.

Aww. I hate when stores don't carry the supplies you need for stuff!

Me too. Especially when I have to order it online from abroad and shipping is more expensive than the actual product.

Oh man...that is really awful!

This is conductive thread. Looks to me like extremely fine wire spun into thread.

You can use it to sew circuits into fabric. Combine with LEDs for example and you have awesome stuff like an animal scarf whose eyes light up when the head is magnetically snapped to the tail

That is bad ass and I want one. Kind of.

I definitely want one. Sooner or later I'll get to it.

I feel dumb now. I found my acrylic liquid... in the spot I put it so I wouldn't forget it.

...I'm the August theme? Awww.

We just need you to pose in the middle of the room espy. . . .

Yes! Stand on the pedestal please, Espy!
*passes out easels and art supplies to everyone*

....-chases own tails-

........what do you mean, that's undignified?

*keeps messing up the painting because Espy won't hold still*

-paints espy upside down-

Whoops, no longer a fox.

*throws the ruined painting in the trash*
Damnit, Espy!

Lol

Blargh Why does brush calligraphy have to be so hard for meeeee ; n;

I don't know. Never used brushes myself, but I once did pretty okay with a calligraphy pen. The one where you always stick it into an inkwell and pretend to be a 1890s kid.

I think my hardship comes from being somewhat a perfectionist and also a newb at the art so it frustrates me too easily. And I use brush pens not like a paint brush cuz paint brushes are even harder to learn on. ; 0;
