to chicagoland

going this weekend to visit this lovely lady, pictured with a (belated) birthday present from yours truly. we're doing an early paddy's day in chicago, complete with green river and revelry. hoping to create another beer cozy prototype tonight, complete with neck strap for hands free fun.







i'm finishing my third project;
honestea stencil vase


i put patterned contact paper on a glass bottle, cut out the pattern with an exacto knife, and painted it in. it's hard to see here, but the issue i'm running into is this sticky residue from the contact paper that i don't think i can clean off without damaging the paint. anyone know a residue removal technique that could get into those little spaces?

be back soon with updates and green river pics. :D
