Hat and scarf

[shananicole.livejournal.com]

I'm kind of proud of this because I started this hat and scarf four hours ago, finished them, and wrote a tutorial. Crochet is speedy.

Now, does this make up for the cabled scarf I've been knitting since November?



Tutorial here.

Quick update! Remember the Lucky 13 scarf I knit to give to Miho Hatori? I saw her show the other night, and ( she wore my scarf! )

Valentine's Day prezzies

I might have gone a little overboard, but it was fun making them! 

iron on letters help

[rachieangelwing.livejournal.com]

I made a shirt using iron-on letters-- they are sliver glitter, and have a plastic-y feel to them. They are kind of difficult to work with, because if you don’t heat them enough they peel, but if you heat them too much, they "melt" into the fabric and disappear.

Well, I thought I had heated them appropriately, but I guess I must not have because after wearing the shirt for a few hours, the letters started peeling off and sticking to each other.

I am hoping that I can buy silver glitter fabric paint, and paint on the letters and this shirt and that that will fix this by sticking it together, but I am not sure. I don’t think I will be able to iron it if I fabric paint it, but I know there is a chance the ironing will ruin it anyway.

Do you have suggestions on how to fix this shirt? Thank you!!!

Here is the back of the shirt that I made--



The front says www.gripfaq.com - which is a website dedicated to making your hands really strong. My husband goes to hand strength competitions (and made the website), which is why I made the shirt-- supporting him and his website, even if it is weird, lol.

Crayon Hearts

[arian-diana.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to say thank you to whomever it was that posted the crayon hearts they made a few days ago. My four kids and I have been snowed in thanks to the blizzard, and we made six hearts yesterday. We may make some more today as well. The kids really like them, and it was a nice change from the other stuff we had been doing to keep ourselves from going stir crazy!

Dragon Illusion Papercraft

[bonniegrrl.livejournal.com]

This is a wonderful optical illusion. This little dragon is made out of paper - you simply cut it out and stick it together, and stand it on a table or window ledge. But when you move around, the dragon's head seems to follow you around the room. Have a look at the video, to see what I mean. The effect is really uncanny.

New pieces!

[slyviolet.livejournal.com]

I finally had a nice sunny day *and* new batteries for my camera occur simultaneously, and so I got to photograph a new series of necklaces I made a while back.

A little teaser to entice cut clicking - They incorporate 35mm film.
( Lots of pictures under the cut )

Simple purse design?

[drowningmermaid.livejournal.com]

I know I just saw a post in the past few weeks but can't find anything about it in the memories and don't have tons of time to look since my dad is waiting for the computer, but I was wondering if anyone knew where to locate a tutorial for a VERY basic purse.

I want to make one for my kid.  Just two pieces of fabric with a creased bottom so it will stand up, a lining and handles.  no closure, no frills.  Just so she's got something to carry around other than MY purse that she stole.

Thanks for anything you can give.

painting :)

[runintheshadows.livejournal.com]

So... I began to paint my old outside bamboo screen because it looks plain and boring. I had tried it before with a simple sponge stencil at the bottom a while ago and, I felt it needed... well, a little bit more.



Anyways, here they are. I had to take some night pictures because the day ones didn't do it justice! Enjoy!

resin question

[sister.livejournal.com]

I want to try my hand with resin, and online tutorials seem to say and rec different things. Im wondering of anyone here makes resin jewelry often, and what the very basic things I will need are? I was going to just pick up the resin at michaels, and use small trays as molds, for now. When the resin dries in plastic containers, maybe an icecube tray as I saw suggested, does it just pop out, or do you need to coat the tray with something beforehand? Im assuming the resion I buy will tell me how long it takes to dry, so Im not worried about that part. What about sanding? Is sanding absolutely neccessary, or is that just for blocky rings or bracelets? If I just inlay a small metal charm with resin (have a thick layer over a magazine image or something similiar, I wont need to sand it, will I?
