first post here, though i've been crafting for quite a while and i rather like to dabble in a bit of everything. i'm still compiling pictures for the rest of my projects but until then here's one of my little favorites.

a sushi frame made with sculpey clay on a readymade cardboard frame. it's pretty small, about 4inx4in, which i think makes it that much cuter:



well, i look forward to seeing more of everyone's stuff and i shall post the rest of my crafty things in a bit...

This is a biggun....

I don't post as often as I should. Stencils (finished and otherwise), etching, Coheed and Cambria, Rasterbation, Ceramics and Sewing.

I'm trying to paint a figure that should have a texture like purple velvet when finished. I'm trying to think of ways to get this texture on the figure. It's too oddly shaped to use fabric or paper (unless someone has a brilliant idea) and I've been messing about with additives to paint but haven't found anything I'm really happy with yet. So, any ideas? I'd like the finish to be as smooth as possible, with a velvet finish.

Thanks !

Polymer Clay Question

[keri80.livejournal.com]

I accidently posted this to my personal journal last night..dur :(

I worked with polymer clay tonight and I just could not tell when it was done. I'm pretty sure I pulled it out to early but it is late and I am ready for bed. Is there a way to tell when it is done? Next time I will measure and time everything if I need too.

Thanks!

Post of many projects...

Finally had the camera, batteries for it and the USB cable all at the same time, hence picture heaviness

Edited to add: Fixed the pictures. now they work. really.

I thought knitting was supposed to be relaxing?

HELP!
I'm learning to knit. I figured out casting on super fast and I know how to do it well and fairly quickly in two different ways now. The knit stitch however...

I appear to be knitting in waves. I'm doing everything right as far as I can tell by watching videos on knittinghelp.com, looking at my book, and having my sister compare what I'm doing to what she and the videos are doing.
Yet, I keep getting weird results. At first I was knitting too tightly and I think I've solved that problem but now I have to figure out why my knitting's coming out wavy.
Pictures under the cut. Any clue what it is I'm messing up? If relevant, I'm using size 11 needles that are connected by a plastic wire...(which may be the problem? kind of doubt it though...)

I stole the idea for this one from this post because I thought it was pretty neat and I'm not very original :]

Traveling Dictionary

[mystic-knight.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone!

Sorry this is text only. My internet has been disconnected for the past few weeks for some odd reason and all my crafty projects are still on my camera. >_<

But, the time away from the computer inspired me to get some old projects off the back burner.

One being a traveling notebook.

Around this time last year I started one but never got it off the ground, if that makes any since. I found it while cleaning the dining room (go figure), decided I didn't like what I was doing and decided to start over.

After scribling around some ideas I decided on a creative dictionary so to speak. What I want to do is pick a word and "define" it using pictures, drawings, collages, paintings, whatever. Something visual. You can pick simple words like "Cat" and draw a cat it doesn't have to be really complicated. Just creatively define a few words.

The first free page you come too should be about you, like your name/username so that we know whose work follows that page. Basically, define yourself.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested. If you are, let me know and I'll work on getting this up and running. ^__^

Basically how shipping the book will work is, I'll compile a list of addresses and send the notebook to the first person on my list. Then, when they recieve it they will e-mail me to let me know when they're ready to ship it out again. I'll give them the next address for them to send it to and so on and so forth until it 1) gets filled up or 2) I get to the bottom of the list. The last person to have it will send it back to me.

I think it'll be a neat project and I've always wanted to start one, but I've got to see if anyone would be interested. ^__^

Let me know <3

Have a great weekend, everyone! <3

quick question

[houseofsporks.livejournal.com]

Is it possible to bake sculptey clay onto metal or would that just be a bad idea?

Hi everyone! I've never posted here before but I've been lurking for a while, and everyone here is so talented and well-informed that I have to ask your advice before I go ahead and do what I was planning on doing.

..does anyone have any other methods of doing this?


thanks

I've been busy lately, making jewelry, taking pictures of it, taking better pictures of older stuff, etc. Here's what's come of it:

I want to make a buckle, but it has certain parts that should definately not stick to the other parts.

How to i keep it from getting stuck together while baking it?

I vaguely recall cotton, but wouldnt that burn? ive also read some people use some kind of polyfill stuff, but id rather use something i have on hand now..
I checked the memories on this but I didn't really find much info :/

could i use alumium foil? i know i probably could but seeing as how it supposed to be in this really really small spot i might have trouble getting it out? i dont know >< -sighs-

-edit- i got impatient and tried aluminium foil but it leaves imprints in the clay, so i cant use that.

oh and another question, i have an allready baked piece, but sadly it broke in the oven, if i want to "glue" it back together with liquid polymer clay, how long should it go in the oven? i dont want it to burn.
