My fun scrappy friend, Darla- or, 'Chocklit D,' and I went supply shopping nearly a month ago. Our first stop was the spectacular art shop, My Heart's Fancy. It was DEMO DAY- so not only could we buy kickass stamps and supplies you CAN'T find anywhere else in town, but we also got to make a cute Easter card. While we were there, Darla talked me into doing the Spring Pennant Art Swap. Because I am the model for the dangers of peer pressure, I said SURE! I didn't have to have my ten pennants made for nearly a month! April 14th was AGES away- I could make one every day or so...or I could spend time coming up with a design I like and setup a supply line and crank the bastards out- or whatever... doesn't matter... cuz April 14 is YEARS away..
I do have to give myself a hand. I did start on them a few weeks ago- but, remember, my early prototype was destroyed in a freak wine glass explosion. After cleaning up the mess, I was too 'tired' to continue. So I sat back down and got drunk.
When last Saturday came and passed, I realized I had officially less than a week before I had to turn my pennants in-
and you totally know that I waited until running home from work on Friday, April 13, to get myself in gear.
I managed to get six completed (by raiding an undamaged bit from the wine-soaked pennant and cutting apart a Spring tag I'd just made) before I got too sleepy/distracted by a zombie movie.
I woke up bright and early and finished the rest, before I ran up North to deliver my bag o' pennants! And I bought a few new things, that maybe I'll show you later- but NOW- ladies and gentlemen, I give you:
KORY K'S SPRING PENNANTS 2012!
Well, I'm tired. Too tired to even offer any commentary on each tag. I even considered posting just a couple of tags each day- but screw it... there they are- enjoy. Or don't.
We're supposed to have wild weather and tornados tonight. You know what that means- I've gotta get to the liquor store and stock up in style. I'll be damned if I'm gonna risk a bad storm and loss of power and do it SOBER.
awesome pennants...careful of the liquor during a storm...
ReplyDeleteI guess I should post a disclaimer- I really only drink wine. And not enough to cause any danger. :)
Deletethanks for likin' my pennants!

I love them....want the clock one the most. Great work. I'd be taking tranquilizers if lived in Tornado country... can't drink alcohol: boring. Hey; good luck.
ReplyDeleteTranquilizers sound pretty good about now!
DeleteI'm just gonna drink a glass of wine, make something with my new supplies and see what happens! Thanks for your comments!!

i was just going to leave you a note on your thursday thing about the tornadoes in case you didnt know. How wonderful to see a new entry and all those wonderful pennants.Holy moly!! They are beautiful! Anyhow im in the middle of a semi meltdown, my last layout isnt doing so hot online and i need to make another one quick. Housework almost done for now. My sb name is scraphouse.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteYeah- crazy weather!!! It is looking/feeling a little weird out, right now. We'll see!
Good luck on your layouts- you can do it!!
-k
just noticed this. Thanks for the reply and the encouraging words.
Deletewhat i didnt say is that i couldnt start a new layout till i did some housework. I got behind when my sis visited for 4 days, and then was finishing my last layout.
ReplyDeletei dont think i could have given those pennants away, theyre too nice. I hope you get some good ones in return.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great, I can't believe you did them so fast! I love the teal one and the Happy Day ones the best.
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh!
Thank you very much!!

Pennants look good. The clock one is my fave. I'm in OK too. No tornados here either. I'm more like your parents. I go outside w camera when sirens go off. I always would tell my kids to get in bathtub. My son loved it. When sirens sounded he would go "Yes!" and take his pillow, blanket and video game and go sit in bathtub in dark. They liked it. One time I was on porch filming and the shutters ripped off the house. Yeah, I decided to jump in the tub too. But it was a good pic.
ReplyDeleteHahhaha, Oklahomans are crazy, aren't we?! lol
DeleteI always get excited around tornado season, too. It's just fun, isn't it?!
Thanks for you comment!!

These turned out great. I was going to say that the second one is my fave, then I scrolled down and saw the third, then the fourth, and so on. I can't pick one! They all have really cool elements to them. I hope you don't lose power. Losing power in an alcohol-induced haze doesn't sound so bad, though....
ReplyDeletethank you very much! I don't know why I only like 2 or 3 of them- we're always so hard on ourselves! lol

Hope you are staying safe Kory!!! Thought about you when I was watching the weather. Tornadic activity is just starting to enter our area of Northeast Kansas! Got my basement prepared, just got grab the sleeping kids outta their beds if the sirens go off!
ReplyDeleteAren't you sick of tornado season?! Every dang year!!

WOW Kory, each one is so special and amazing, love the clock one the most, I have a thing for clocks, but I must say each one has its own detail and amazingness. Love them all, great work, and stay safe please, If you need shelter come to LA Ill keep you here! ;)

What can I say that no one else has said before. These are just amazing Kory. The pennants are all filled with a beautiful assemblage of fascinating ephemera. Each one, very individual yet you've maintained a unified style within the whole set. I especially like the medallions and birds. Not sure whether you are now in the midst of the storms as i write, or whether they've passed but hope you are safe. And I echo Frank's offer, except I'd happily have both of you sheltering over here in the dank, grey, miserable UK lol. Pxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, stunning and each SO unique! You do amazing work, so proud of you! Glad you were safe in the storms!
ReplyDeletethank you so much! :)
