It may not look like much, but this little guy took me the entire Emmy Awards to finish! It is made from an old popcorn box, a crossword puzzle from an old magazine, pieces of a would-have-been-trashed gift bag, string, and pieces of used printer paper. I'm not sure when I will get around to using this notebook, but it was something that I felt like I "had" to do... something similar to covering my bike with Peanuts comic strips. I may never fully realize why I sometimes feel the undeniable urge to do things like creating a recycled notebook, but for whatever reason, doing things like this makes me feel more like me.

Tonight I decided that there was no better time to get cracking on my recycled notebook project. Here is the fruit of my labor:

Mr. and Mrs.
I created these two little guys for a t-shirt design for Threadless. The design is still in the works and I will post the link to it when it's closer to being finished. Until then, please enjoy the company of this lovely couple..they're quite friendly.
