And one of my weirdest ever requests, a POOP HAT with FLIES.

I obviously made this pattern

Novelty hats, part 5

On to college and post grad school now!
(featuring Clarice the hat model again, and my ability to take good pictures of my creations also improved lol)

All of these were as requested, and all of these are my patterns

First up, Finn from Adventure Time

One of my other all time favorite creations - the Flying Spaghetti Monster hat

And the unicorn hat!!
I've actually made two of these, one pink and one purple. If I get back on Etsy at some point, I would strongly consider making these by request only for people because they're super fun to make!

In college I started making things out of construction paper.
Why? Honestly don't know.

How it started was for some reason I decided to make all of the Hogwarts house crests out of construction paper.

There must have been something soothing and therapeutic about cutting out all of those tiny little pieces and taping them all together and decorating with Sharpie.

I still have these!! They're just faded now from years and years on my walls (in college and my grad school apartments!)

Again, construction paper, tape, Sharpies. Why? don't know. but here we are!

From there I started making elaborate construction paper cards.
I was known for my stuffed animals and novelty hats in high school. I was known for my elaborate construction paper cards in college.
Receiving one of these from me was a COVETED HONOR and I truly spent HOURS on them.

How this started was a few birthday cards for some special children in my life :)

The first one was an experiment, it went well, so I kept making them!

These took me hours because I hand drew/traced every single little piece and had to carefully cut and glue it into place. And I LOVEDDDD doing it. A truly incredible mental break from school (and noveling).

I made a BUNCH of these for people!! I often made them when I wanted to say thank you to someone :) Or birthday/Christmas cards. They were all customized to the person. I can't show all of them and all the details on all of them because personal information and all. But I consider this to be a peak extra Carlito moment in time.

This was a Christmas card I made as part of a secret santa exchange. This was with my final gift because this would have immediately given me away lol
She was really into owls so it was owl themed!

This was a thank you card for someone. They were a huge fan of Duke and they were a talented musician, so their card was Duke/music themed. (The music in the background is the Duke fight song because #extra)
the Duke logo took me foreverrrrrrr. those are all iNDIVIDUAL pieces of construction paper that I cut out and glued.....
