Crafting for Boyfriend's Birthday!
October 18th, the day my boyfriend was born! *doing a happydance*
But i'm not too happy, since we're not spending the day together this year, him being in New York, me in Amsterdam...
But i did make him something he can really use. As a musiscian he always carries cd's around. No cases, just loose cd's in his pocket. So based on the idea of the ipod cozy, i made him a double cd cozy. I wanted to use felt again since it's so soft and strong at the same time. Most of my felt scraps are in the pink, purple range and i didn't want to do that to him. lol. So the cozy has a retro feel to it due to the orange/brown colors.
Oh yeah, obviously, his name starts with a G.
I know not to put too much embellishments on it because they will come off eventually when he puts it in, takes it out of his pocket much. But i just had to place something for good luck on it, so i used the holy maria for it.
Inside is where the cd's go. I don't want to give it empty, so i'm making him a cd with concert recordings of some musicians/dj's which i know he likes.
Michael Franti, Gangstarr, Mr. Wix, Brainpower, Pete Philly, haven't made it yet, but it will be something like that.
Hoping he'll love it!
