Fun with BigHugeLabs

I'm doing some study at the moment in web communications and it's fascinating! Today we were talking about content sharing and about using content created by others and all the issues surrounding it such as copyright etc.

Anyway, our task was to create a magazine cover, movie poster or magazine poster. I chose to create a motivational poster and of course the theme had to be craft related.

RIP Wardrobe Refashion

I cannot believe it!

I'm sorry to say that just as I managed to get my act together to join Wardrobe Refashion, Nikki the site's owner announced that the site is closing to all new signups and posts.

Kudos to Nikki for what she has achieved with Wardrobe Refashion, she and the site will be sorely missed.

All existing Wardrobe Refashion posts will say online for browsing and Nikki will continue with her personal blog.

I'm Wardrobe Refashioning

I've just joined Wardrobe Refashion, in my opinion one of the most creative and worthwhile craft projects going around. The site is essentially a multi-authored blog co-written by contributors from around the world who have pledged to "abstain from the purchase of new manufactured clothing for the period of 2, 4, 6 months or LIFE. They promise to refashion, renovate, and recycle preloved items with their own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium or make their own from scratch."

A perfect blend of fashion, creativity and environmentalism - three things close to my heart.

I've signed up for four months, how about you?
