I think I might start covering everything I own in fleece.In another life, those were cans of lime seltzer destined for the recycling bin. Instead, I decided I needed a smaller, desk-friendly place to keep some of my sharpies (I used to keep this tacked onto my wall, but it's highly impractical to move around). Shown here is only a small sampling of my sharpies, I have 150+.
Covering the cans with fabric was rather simple. I first used tough wire cutters to cut through the top rim of the can, and used little scissors to cut neatly along the edge. I kept the fabric on using all-surface glue, and folded the fabric over the tops of the cans. They are all glued together, and the ribbon is also glued around them.
Here is my creation, along with a set of drawings I finished today.

Love this! I spent this week doing drawings of silk worms, cocoons, etc. for my upcoming Silk Road book. I'd love to see your take on silk worms...
oo I love those pictures - did you draw them? they look really funky in that frame :)
Kathy, that sounds cool! Yeah, I might have to try my hand at some silk worms sometime.
out of the frame - yup, sketched out with pencil and colored with sharpies. Not sure if I want to sell it or keep it for myself.
