What I'm into lately

2007-03-15T17:55:01Z

My good pals here on tribe got me way too interested in art trading cards (thanks for posting as main photo!). So now I am looking at everything in a new light. I want to do altered books and have seen them on eBay made out of brown paper bags. I've been buying scrapbooking stuff (mostly deep discounted) like crazy. I like the art cards because they are small and it doesn't take much before you have a miniature piece of art. Paper stuff rocks!

Obsessions!

decopage

2006-11-28T10:15:44Z

I am trying to decopage scrapbook paper onto a wood frame. I have printed a name on the paper first. When I try to adhear it the ink smears. Does anyone have an idea of a medium I can use to not have this happen?

Mosaics is fun!

2006-10-27T04:20:23Z

Hey crafters!
Last month I tiled two of my kitchen backsplashes with mini-glass tiles that are sold on sheets of clear adhesive. It was challenging, but it turned out really pretty (shades of blue and clear with some blues having copper metallic streaks).
I went to Walmart and bought some glass pieces and a clear glass vase-all for about $5.00. I had the clear adhesive from a kit and it was fun to decorate the vase. I went on eBay and bid on mosaics from a few companies. They weren't that expensive either. I'd like to do mosaics for garden accents, but I have to look into waterproof things. I already used mosaics on the roof of a indoor birdhouse.

2006-08-07T20:33:02Z

Hey all,
So, I am trying to convince a friend that knitting is cool and that tons of fashionable young girls (and boys too) are doing some kick ass things in the world of knitting... I started off talking about Stitch-N-Bitch but I need more...

Can anyone send some links my way to help prove my point?

much much thanks.

summertime crafty fun

2006-06-21T02:22:23Z

Hey all,
I have a fun summertime craft idea. I've already done this, but I don't have any pictures yet -- I'll try to put some up soon!

The idea: Bikini decoration!
First, get a cheap, plain bikini from any store or thrift shop.
Then, gather up all your random trims, buttons, faux flowers, feathers, patches, and other baubles.
Then madly decorate the bikini to your heart's desire!

This is fun to wear if you like to lounge around in the sun.
It can be fun to do with any kind of bathing suit or bras too.
It can turn a regular bra or bikini top into a fun hot-weather mini-top that you can wear in public or on a hot sweaty dancefloor.

Decoupage butterflies for fountain, HELP!

2006-06-17T03:37:48Z

I am pretty craft but I am looking for someone do a project for me. I need about 50 decoupage butterflies on tin or stainless steel sheeting. I want them to appear as though they are flying across the water of a glass tile wall fountain. They will be placed on wire pegs and protude from the fountain.

They should be different sizes and cannot rust when wet. They will protrude from fountain but will inevitably get wet and rained on. They must be sealed with something that can endure the water. I saw this in a restaurant in Washington DC but after endless phone calls to the owner, builder, designer etc. I have had no luck researching the technique they used.

Can you recommend someone to do this? Or alternatively can you recommend what materials I could use so I can try it myself?

a good decopage sealer

2005-11-12T02:18:42Z

Okay so I've been making some decopage frames and candles and stuff and I can't find a good sealer. Everything I've used is too strong and ends up ruining my pieces... cause I guess the paper I used was too thin and the resin sealer I have basically disolved the paper... Does anybody have anything they can recommend?

new quilting template on the market

2005-05-13T05:26:38Z

Hello everyone -

My wife and I have a new small business - I invented a template that helps the quilter cut hexagons, trapezoids, triangles and diamonds significantly faster than typical common methods. Please take a look at www.cutquiltsfast.com to see how it works - and thank you for your time! And please spread the word...we've pretty well spent our life savings to bring it to market!

2005-04-29T02:56:51Z

Hi, this looks fun.

I just joined and wanted to say hi and wave,
*wave*

Yeay for more people with busy fingers that like to make things.
:)

My only problem with being crafty, is that my ideas for projects far outbalance my actual TIME for making projects.. so for every thing I get done, I've got two things in a pile, half done.
*sigh*
but I love it. It's just the coolest thing to hold something beautiful in your hands (inperfections and all) and know that you caused it to be.

knitting as therapy

2005-03-30T21:53:49Z

Well, we all have our therapys... about 5 weeks ago I tripped and fell, and broke myself ... 2 weeks ago, my ortho doc took the cast off, and put my pinky and ring fingers into a tape splint... and said to do 'range of motion...' to which I said ... 'what kind' can I knit again, can I start spinning again... to which he said knitting is one of the best things... so... very gingerly, and slowly I started knitting again, and did a pair of socks... those of you who know me know that I am an obsessive knitter / sock knitter... and it took me almost a week to do a pair of socks... but yeaaaaaaa they are done!! AND... the doc saw them and was impressed!

so... what do y'all do to 'relax - unwind - ect...

the night before christmas...

2004-12-25T02:04:14Z

I got this from another tribe!!!

Margie

The Knitters' TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas and all around me
Was unfinished knitting not under the tree.

The stockings weren't hung by the chimney with care
'cause the heels and the toes had not a stitch there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds
but I had not finished the caps for their heads.

Dad was asleep; he was no help at all,
And the sweater for him was six inches too small.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I put down my needles to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash,
Tripped over my yarn and fell down with a crash.

The tangle of yarn that lay deep as the snow
Reminded me how much I still had to go.

Out on my lawn, I heard such a noise,
I thought it would wake both dad and the boys.

And though I was tired,my brain was a bit thick,
I knew in a moment,it must be Saint Nick.

But what I heard then left me perplexed-ed,
For not a name I heard was what I had expected

"move,Ashford; move,Lopi; move,Addie and Clover
Move,Reynolds; move,Starmore; move, Fraylic--move over"

"Paton, don't circle round; stand in line.
Come now, you sheep wool work just fine!

I know this is hard semi, it's just your first year,
I'd hate to go back to eight tiny reindeer."

I peered over the sill; what I saw was amazing,
Eight woolly sheep on my lawn all a'grazing.

And then,in a twinkle, I heard at the door
Santa's feet coming across the porch floor.

I rose from my knees and got back on my feet,
And as I turned round, Saint Nick, I did meet.

He was dressed all in wool from his head to his toe
And his clothes were handknit from above to below.

A bright Fairisle sweater he wore on his back,
and his toys were all stuffed in an Aran knit sack.

His cap was a wonder of bobbles and lace,
A beautiful frame for his rosy red face.

The scarf round his neck could have stretched for a mile,
And the socks peeking over his boots were Argyle.

The back of his mittens bore an intricate cable,
And suddenly on one I spied a small label.

SC was duplicate stitched on the cuff,
and I asked "Hey Nick, did you knit all this stuff?"

He proudly replied "Ho-ho-ho, yes I did,
I learned how to knit when I was a kid."

He was chubby and plump, a quite well-dressed old man,
And I laughed to myself for I'd thought up a plan,.

I flashed him a grin and jumped up in the air,
And the next thing he knew he was tied to a chair.

He spoke not a word, but looked in his lap
Where I'd laid my needles and yarn for a cap.

He quickly began knitting, first one cap then two;
For the first time I thought I'd really get through.

He put heels on the stockings and toes in some socks
While I sat back drinking Scotch on the rocks!!

So quickly like magic, his needles they flew,
That he was all finished by quarter to two.

He sprang for his sleigh when I let him go free,
And over his shoulder he looked back at me.

And I heard him exclaim as he sailed past the moon
"Next year start your knitting sometime around June!

NO NEW PROJECTS!

2004-12-03T19:04:43Z

I kinda made a list the other night of all the projects that I have going, and haevn't finished, before i went to bed. It was long, but not unreasonably so. Only then, I turned out the lights and I rememberd like 4 other things that I hadn't put on the list.

I'm fired. I'm not allowed to start anything new until I have finished at least HALF of my list. If I mention new projects, then you can beat me up. just leave my hands alone, I need them for my crafting.

Oh, and I want a new camera lens. its shiny, and fancy and, my favorite...all purpose. thats gotta be the best compound word EVER!

So I tried to make a panade today. The result was pretty good, if a bit bland, and I really need to get a casserole for the oven(Emile Henri, you are the sex!)

Any body have any good panade recipes? I wanna make it taste a bit more interesting...but, after all, it's bread soup. how interesting can i get?

megan's tip # 1
kitchen crafts: when making a persimmon pudding for the first time, it pays to ensure the ripeness of the fruits. If, however, you are in a bind, simply peel the bastards and stick em in a blender. Provided your fruit is not as bitter as I am, you'll be good to go!

bulbs...the easy way

2004-11-30T00:28:23Z

Target has paperwhites, hyacinth, amaryllis, and crocus bulb sets on sale right now. I picked up the paperwhites in glass last year and they grew so well that my roommates thought they were aliens, coming to eat them. They're SUPER easy- just add water!

YAY for shortcuts!
