In addition to fandom flag waving, I sing, act, do improv comedy, and dabble in all things craft-worthy....
Enter Pinterest....I am an artsy fartsy person. Anything I can make with my hands and/or any excuse to run my mouth, I'm there. As if I needed more things to do in my life, I have spent the last year transforming my house into a haven of nerd-dom.... So today will be short, but I wanted to share with you some of the Nerdvana I have made. These are all Angie originals....Just so you know...
I hope you enjoy it....Maybe it will even inspire you to let out your inner geek.
It all started innocently enough....Props for children's parties.....
Then people asked me to DO things....
paint faces...
Make things...
like these coasters with a box to keep them in....
So, naturally I decided to start gifting homemade goods!
I made a waterproof bag out of shopping bags...
I painted....a LOT!
I painted history stuff because Mike (my husband) Is a history grad student...
My daughter is obsessed with dolphins....so I did this...
I painted a pic of my husband's guitar....(I was running out of things to paint!)
I tried doing one of those "inspirational" pieces....I don't get it...
I got trapped into painting roses...and space....and roses IN space....
I even tried delving into unusual mediums....like this one which is painted using concentrated teas...
and I taught myself to do spray paint art...
(p.s....I needed to sweep...I was cooking dinner...ewww)
I made some shirts...
I made myself shoes...
In my latest endeavors, I am making bigger bolder choices toward the transformation of my home into a place to love....
My dining room table!
my son's closet...
In order to embarrass my bestie, Kelly....
(She's the one in the middle!)
I tried my hand at songwriting...now the original song isn't mine....It is "The Nerdy Birthday Song" by The Doubleclicks....and Kel was too far away to harass in person....so I did it via the internet. The song was not nerdy enough.... Therefore I made this horribly done video to wish her a most happy birthday...and I added a second verse....(Now to say I play the guitar is offensive to people who actually use a guitar to make music...but, in my defense, I learned the song an hour before this recording and wrote a second verse about 15 minutes after that.... )
It's too big to post to the blog (apparently), so here is the facebook link...
I'm a nerd....Here I am dressed as professor Trelawney....because I'm cool like that....
Sometime I'll show you my knitting...lol!
Peace.
I love your artwork and am proud to say that I have 3 items currently hanging in my living room (two of which were pictured in your blog!) Keep up the inspiration!!!
