I bring you Future Girl’s craft blog as yet another means to help fill your Google Reader. This one is by a young woman named Alice who seems like she’d be an awesome person to hit the bars with. Case in point, her blog name is derived from a nickname she earned after shaving her head and stenciling henna designs all over it. Her co-worker dubbed her Future Girl after a character in the George Lucas student film, THX 1138. Sci-Fi fan, henna fan, and a fan of indie crafts? I’m sold. Consider me a fan. She works primarily in felt stuffies and has some great designs pictured on her blog that will simply wash you in inspiration. She also has some cool free patterns, like the crochet beaded bracelet pictured below, and a couple of step-by-step tutorials on the basic hand stitches she uses when making her stuffed creations. Not to mention she introduced me to this link for directions on how to make the Best Knot Ever which I pass along in the hopes that it will help those of you who haven’t fudged your own method of knot making yet.
