crafting like mad

i updated my cloud of birds blog with the new crafts i made in the past couple of weeks. crafting lately has been a stressful but also a kind of rewarding process...i've been enjoying experimenting with new materials.

i found these prints at the salvation army the other day. i love their magical moody atmosphere. i hope i get to travel to a place like this one day...
