i checked the FAQ, but if i missed it, let me know

so i just got a polaroid camera for my birthday today (my birthday was last month, but i got it today...whatever. anyway...) so it's kinda a stinky gift just because the film is SOOOOO expensive! (but in my excitment, i used up $12 worth of film just sitting in my boyfriend's dormroom watching TV)

so the question:
after i finish a "roll" of film, there's a cartridge left over. ANY ideas on what to do with it?

it seems like SUCH a waste to throw it away. anything?

thanks!

Water Doll

[brunahildm.livejournal.com]

New doll for Nervousness. Might post better pictures when I get Verizon to give me a password. DSL kicks ass, but Verizson does not!

I'm pleased, because I tried something new. Her body was straight when I cut it out, but I sewed little darts in afterwards, to give her the neat twisty shape.

Cross-posted.

Camel

Yesterday's other project:


He's really cute, but right after I finished him I thought of an easy way I could have given him 4 legs without having to figure out a belly gusset. Oh well, I think the mexican blanket makes up for it.

reading and knitting?

[knife-punch.livejournal.com]

[my journal name used to be metalequalsrust, so i'm not new. just for clarification. not that new people are bad. i love new people. right. ok...]

ok, so this might be a ridiculous question, but i really want to know...

does anyone read while they knit?
and, also, if you do... how do you get your book to behave?

thanks a bunch

OK, creative types. I've recently been made the proud mother of a bag of shredded dollar bills. I think they're neat, but I have no idea what I could use them for, short of Easter basket grass. :) Could I maybe make paper out of them?

ebay stores

[lexscreations.livejournal.com]

This question is to anyone who has (or who has ever had) an ebay store. I just opened one up. At the moment I have several items for auction, but none of them are showing up in my store. Why not? Is there anything I can do to get my auctions to show up there?

Thanks!

*fighting all impulses to make very/berry jokes*

A t-shirt I silk screened ont he weekend. Rather eventfully, as I completely botched it the first time and had t wash it all out and start over. All things considered... I like.

shellacking

[disclaimher.livejournal.com]

Is there some sort of spray shellack out there that I can spray on carstock to harden it tremendously?
If so, what section is it in at the craft store, and what brands work best?

Hi :D

[greenjeanz.livejournal.com]

Hey again. ;P Can anyone think of any good uses for the wallets birth control pills come in? They're ADORABLE bright royal blue false leather print vinyl, with two pockets inside.
Thanks!

[insidethebullet.livejournal.com]

finally i have something to show! *pride* hehe its a little purse i made, because the one i have now is too big to fit in my lil tiny Going Out bag
its made from a bit of fabric i got sent to me as a sample.. i thought as they were free samples they would be tiny scraps but this bit was just big enough to make purse :)
i duno what kind of beads they are.. taken from old bracelets i dont wear anymore :) took forever to sew..
sooooooooooo its a bit messy :-p i got impatient with it and rushed it
but its Functional! :D

( Pickcharrrrr )

HELP I NEED.. ADVICE XD

[cimorenegal.livejournal.com]

Okay, i've made two pairs of mittens ( Like These )

and I now have some white bernat boa left over. I'm going to make wristbands out of them, so they'll look similar to the mitten cuffs, but I need something funky/fancy to fasten it- some kind of pair of little pins that I could maybe buy more than two of (I may someday sell this type of thing) Any ideas on where to find them? I might go to a craft store and see if I can find some little flowery jewel things and make pins myself but I want to see if there's anything premade i can find first.

So, any ideas/links/stuffs? I think something either sparkly or flowerish would be really cute (I'd make fimo roses or something if I could afford it O_O But dang, that stuff is 'spensive!

What do you all think?

[numommy.livejournal.com]

So I was going made a scrapbook album for my sister for her wedding. She canceled the wedding now and I'm not sure what to do with her gift. I thought I might try Ebay.

Do you think it will sell?
Would you buy it?
Do you think I'll make what I put into it?

good times .... sewing

[tuaqmuk.livejournal.com]

hey do any of you guys know what to put in a purse to make it stiffer/stronger? I already use interfacing, but I haven't figured out a way to stop the "sagging" when there's heavier items in the bag.


( my arm looks fat... )

I LIKE IT A LOT. too bad I'm sending it to my sister in chicago tomorrow :) *happy dance*

silk screen

[smashkin33.livejournal.com]

i checked out the faq and found some posts pertaining to specific silk screening topics, but i am looking for a good site that gives the basics of silk screening. i've never done it before, and really have no idea how it works and i would like to learn.
many thanks!
