Sounds like a good idea to me! Now if I only even used rotary blades. Figured some of you girls would appreciate the tip.

ok so now i know where i got that idea for a book. my grandpa had this book, either he made it or i'm guessing he got it at an auction- he gots to lots of auctions. it was an old composition book with newspaper clippings in it, all these different sports at the time. in it was many clippings of babe ruth and really old football pictures with their strange uniforms, it was such a tresure to me. so i though if i made something now and held on to it someone 50 years from now would just be thrilled with it. i cant show pictures of it because it is my brothers and i don't live with him. hehe

i have a question about the fimo plugs. could you cover them with nail polish? i've done that with other earrings ive made (a hoop made out of thick electrical wire). OR i was thinking covering the whole thing with clear coat- its like a liquid to solid thing that people put on their table tops or floors, clear plastic. i've used it with jewelry before and maybe this would work over the fimo~ making it look glass.

need your imput (objections if any)~ heheh

Well, not literally. But I finished this key chain today and I feel good! Maybe I'll make a bracelet next :-) What do you all think? And do you think I could sell these key chains on eBay?

hey. not sure if i've posted here before but i've been lurking for what seems like forever. the reason i've got around to saying hello is because i need advice.

i bought a hippyish, kaftan type top in a vintage shop the other week and have got my mother who can actually sew, to adjust it so that it fits.

but i got it for cheaper because it had stains on it. now i suppose these stains have been there for quite a while. it's a 70's top so for all i know they could have been there since then.

but i want ot get rid of them. it's a cream coloured top and they look fairly obvious. they're small, rust coloured dots and i want to know does anyone have any ideas on how to remove them?

i've just prewashed them with white wizard stain remover and normal detergent in the washing machine but they didn't fade. i'm thinking it might be possible to bleach them out? but the top's not pure white so that might look worse. any ideas?

Here's is the key chain. Hope this works!

You can also just go to my Picture Trail Site and look at what ever other things I put up. Including me :-P

So, I was inspired by an article in Expression magazine on making faux enamel beads using embossing powders and macaroni. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but they come out so cool! I made a bunch of beads and put together a bracelet. I should have used clear elastic instead of white, because since the holes in the macaroni are so big, it's inevitable you'll see a bit of the string as you're wearing it. In person, the beads look like glazed pottery. It's a very fun and easy project. If anyone wants instructions, I'll type some up from the magazine.
