Whiplash entry - Poke me in the eye April 30, 2006
I recently discovered Whip up and decided to enter in this weekend’s competition. the idea is to make something crafty inspired by the theme “no fear.”
I recently had an inflamed pinguicula on my eyeball and since then i have been super-aware of my eyeball. I haven’t been wearing my contacts very often, and i keep looking at my eyes to make sure they don’t look too red. i really need my eyeballs, and i don’t want them to wear out. To alleve my hesitations about touching my eyeballs i made “Poke me in the eye.” I started with my cheap-o plastic tape measure, and covered it in felt to look like an eyeball. to retract the tape, i have to poke the eyeball. this eyeball is pinguicula
free.
I just threw this together and i am not totally happy with my stitching job around the outer edge… I’ll just have
to make another one!
Hey Karrie - Congratulations on the new blog. How do you like WordPress? Is this post security thing I see below (where I have to type in the characters I see) a plug-in of some sort?
So I was reading about your eybeball problem, and I think my sister has the same thing! She didn’t know what it was though and she hasn’t gone to a doctor yet. What was involved in having it removed?
