I did my phone

[schatze78.livejournal.com]

I finally redid my phone in tanzanite and aquamarine swarovski foilbacks. this was before I got the judith leiber glue, so it's with the E6000, so there are lumpy parts on the phone, which I hate. how does it look overall? I'm extremely critical of everything I do, so I always welcome points of view of others. the pics are with the flash and without the flash to show colour. what do you all think? should I re-do it again?

So I want to make a scarf similar to one that a user posted here a few
days ago. I commented asking her what type of crochet stitch she used,
but she hasn't commented back, and I was kind of hoping to start my
scarf tonight. So, if anyone could tell me what type of stich this is,
I would be extremely greatful.

Hey gals,
I have tons and tons of fabric that is taking up so much space that I am just never going to get around to using. On top of this, everytime I buy fabric its usually atleast 3+ yards and usually around 5 yards of ONE kind of fabric.

I NEED TO SELL THIS STUFF!

Where do you gals go about selling your fabric? I have so much available, but I want to get a decent price because most of the fabrics I spent $10/yard on. Should I just put them on ebay or what? Do you know of any selling communities for fabric? Please help!!

thanks.

New Pop-tab Styles

[reiko-sazanami.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I think it's new. At the request of a male aquaintance of mine, I started toying with the idea of making a wrist cuff out of pop tabs versus the regular bracelets and chokers I normally make.

( And I did! )

Like I said, I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I was quite proud if it since I didn't have any guidelines for pulling them together. Comments and feedback are love. ^_^ ♥

Pretty things.

[sassi214.livejournal.com]

A few trinkets I made recently.

I love figuring out what to make, what beads to use. Sometimes I see earrings or necklaces in stores or magazines and take inspiration from them.
One of the following necklaces was actually inspired by a necklace that Phoebe on Friends was wearing.
Am I ashamed to admit I'm a rerun whore? A bit.

And this design was thoroughly bitten off from a fellow craftgrrl who made something very similar with her extra glass beads. I loved it so much I made one for myself. (I'm sorry I can't find the entry.)

Broken links

[xpresiveamiable.livejournal.com]

Hi I know this doesn't directly have to do with crafting so if it is not allowed mod feel free to delete. A while back there was a post in here with a website you could go to that would let you type in broken links and it would find them. Like if a picture wasn't in a old post anymore it would find it for you. This website was uber helpful to me but it seems that I can't remember what the website was anymore and I really need it. If anyone knows what I am talking about and/or what this webpage is please tell me! Thanks! Katie

Collage Help

[omfgsarah.livejournal.com]

So I'm working on an out of book piece for my IB Art class, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. My theme is "Collage and Altered Art", so what I did was took slide mounts from a previous project, glued on decorative scrapbooking paper, and replaced the slides with pictures from magazines. What I need help with is how to mount or attach all of the slide mounts together. I was thinking I could wind clear thread through them so they kind of float within the silver border, but maybe I should keep it on the black background? ...Maybe the silver border doesn't go with it at all... if not, suggestions?
Human interaction is one thing my teacher wanted all of us to work on this month, so I would love/appreciate any comments or suggestions offered.

Thanks! ;D

Bias tape. I am trying to sew, for my first project ever, an apron for my 4 year-old. It's a relatively easy pattern, so the lady at JoAnn's told me. But the bias tape and I are not speaking.

Edited to add: The problem I'm having is that I can't get it on straight, and it bunches up under the foot when I sew it with the machine. So far, every bit I've done with the bias tape looks like utter crap.

What is the trick???

fantastic or craptastic?

[wyldflwrgoddess.livejournal.com]

You help me decide.

I'm trying to knit a bunch of christmas presents, and a few of them involve k1 p1 ribbing, so it's driving me a little nuts. Plus I realized after the two scarves that I have made, I have made zilch! for myself. so I decided to go a bit wacky. I made this with Lion's Brand Wool Ease in Grey Heather, and some of that lovely $1 a skein turquoise ribbon yarn from target. Size 15 needles.


The first picture is intentionally dark so that you can see the stitching, the second, very bright so you can see the neat color you get when you combine the yarns.
