Bento bag!

[madfishmonger.livejournal.com]

I got myself a bento box, and have been having lots of fun making bento lunches. I needed a bag to carry it in and stay upright, and I finally figured out how to make a bag with a square bottom. Go me.

Clips

Hey guys, I could use some help...

I'm looking to make some of those photo holders that have the clips on them, kind of like this (but totally different):

Here

Would you guys know where to get those little clippy things on the end? Bonus points for the wire attached.

So this is not completely an imageless post... Here's a cute little polymer clay ring holder I made. :) It matches my foam head for showing off hats. :)

How to make a nice sales stand?

[yestofun.livejournal.com]

I'm going to sell off some of my jewelery at an indoor marked. I have to bring a table and all that myself, and I have some questions concerning all of this =) What colour should I use to show off the jewelery? I was thinking of black because white could make it look drab and another colour could make the beads "change" colour. Any opinions? Is it smart to use like velvet? My grandmother said that I could buy a fleece blanket (it's cheap), so I was sorta thinking of buying one in black (a bit uncertain about that) and then use a green one underneath (to hide the table legs). I'm also planning on making a green sign and to make square to stand up to show off the necklaces that sort of "fall". Do you have an easy and cheap idea for making a earring stand too? I don't have that many earrings to sell as of yet, but that might change.

I would appreciate any advice concerning this (selling at a marked, the stand, prices, how to arrange things, EVERYTHING).

Also, I use a lot of stones and I wondered if anyone knows off a jewelery stone chart that is online? I've googled it and searched some jewelery sites but I haven't had any luck. I'm planning on making small cards attached to each necklace which states the ingredients and the price.

I have 2*5 meters of space... So I guess I could do a lot with it!

I'm excited!

After a year long hiatus from my sewing machine, I dove right in and reconstructed a t-shirt I found at the thrift store a while ago. I whipped up these johns in about an hour, and I'm pretty happy with them.

( panties! )

Does anyone have any tips for working with lace or elastic? Especially on this small/wonky of a scale? I had a really hard time making the hems even.

Alot of the lace and parts of the elastic are uneven. I got overexcited and was sewing too fast, haha.

Brookie?

Does anyone know how to make a Brookie? it's a cross between a cookie and a brownie...and the best thing ever. I've searched the internet alot and can not find how to make one, just how to buy one. Please help, my tummy will thank you in advance.

Wall hanging sculpture - 'Trophy Head I - Elise'

[skvelahruza.livejournal.com]

5" diameter.  Made of paperclay on a wood base; hand painted.  This was my first time working with paperclay and though it took a while to get the hang of it, I really like using it and even prefer it over super sculpey, which is what I normally use.  I'm planning to make a whole series of these. :)

Mirror I Made

Scarflette!

I bought this gorgeous yarn like, 10 months ago, but couldn't figure out what to make with such a small amount of fiber. Finally, last week I made this:
