Sailing Mix

I made this mix tape for a friend around this time last year and never posted the picture. It's funny, but even though it was so long ago and for someone else. I still burned myself a copy to put in my car. I listen to that CD almost more than any other one... except for some of the Ben Folds albums of course.

The Hunter

This is my latest "As seen on Pinterest" craft.
Overall it was pretty easy. I used embroidery thread for Orion and borrowed my roommate's white paint marker for the stars. I used an awl and a needle threader to easily get the string through my poster board and tied what felt like a bajillion little knots.
The original uses staples for stars, but I prefer clean lines so I opted to just copy my sky map for the background stars to get an idea of the "random" star patterns.
Here is a link to the original tutorial: http://www.designsponge.com/2011/01/diy-project-astrology-artwork.html
