Crafting

As I work off my apple pie consumption and take breaks in between job applications and trying to decide where to go next, I've been attempting to be a little creative.
I found an old box of my mom's hippie books from the 70's and have been working on some psychedelic collages.  The books themselves are spectacular covering yoga, feminism and buddhism with outrages images.  I'm pretty happy with them and will post some pictures when I'm done.
Tomorrow I'm heading over to my dad's for plywood, stencil's and spray paint to work on a wall hanging that I saw on Holly's blog a few months ago.  Seems like a pretty easy project, now I just need to narrow down the quotes I want to use.  What's your favorite quote?

Finally, since I am a few blocks from the beach I've been trying to think up a project using driftwood.  The only problem is finding something that isn't extremely cheesy, which unfortunately is prevalent in driftwood art.

The Gazelle

As a I prepare to head north and spend a few weeks in Port Orford, I'm trying to come up with a few things to keep me entertained as the weekdays can be a bit on the dull side while everyone is at work.
When I was in New York last month, my sister, Echo and I stopped to browse at Anthropologie after checking out the Museum of Modern Art.  I was drooling over the whole store when I came across these  busts of animals.  After closer inspection I realized they were papier mache and I immediately wanted to try for myself.

Not only do I enjoy an occasional craft, but I'd love to save the $70 that it costs in the store.  I plan to try my luck at making one of these when I'm at my mom's.  I'm thinking you could mold a wire frame and papier mache it.  Any suggestions on making this work? Moreover, anyone want to try it?
Another craft project I'm excited to make is a wall hanging similar to the one I saw on Etsy:
