Bossk Bean Art Portrait

[bonniegrrl.livejournal.com]

All Star Wars bounty hunters deserve their portrait to be created with dried beans and glitter, and Bossk is no exception. Pay special tribute to everyone's favorite Trandoshan with this fun craft project. Feel free to experiment with different beans and materials to make a one-of-a-kind work of art.

invitation advice

hey all! i need a bit of help. my fiance and i are getting married june 30th and i'm pretty good on everything except the invites. i know how i want to do them: i want there to be a series of about 3 or 4 postcard sized cards each with different info about the wedding. like the first is gonna request their presence and such, the next saying where the ceremony is happening, and the third giving the info on the reception. my problem is i'm not sure how to put them together. how should i bind them? i could just put them all loose in the envelope, but i'd like to tie them together somehow. the only thing i can come up with is puching a whole and tying them with a ribbon, but i'd totally rather not! any ideas? thanks for any help!

"Glass" Etching..

[mechanchaos.livejournal.com]

Someone recently was asking about etching on ceramics and that made me think of a project. I have a water bottle that is basically the size of a 1 liter pepsi bottle. It was that carbonated water stuff and the clear plastic label was easy to remove. My questions are will etching solution work on plastic( I still have some:)) and since its basically an acid will it weaken the bottle and make it unusable. Keep in mind that I am rather rough wuth my things. Thanks!!



My bottle is almost like this one except the sides are flat.

i went to buy the fabric for my sister's mermaid costume (which, btw, is not as easy to make as i thought it would be) and found this beautiful fabric i just had to have.. ( look )

so. i've been wanting a nice babydoll for a long time now but nothing i like ever fits my chest. and i'm going on a nice vacation for the weekend with the boyfriend in a few weeks so i thought now would be a great time to make one.
now i just need help.. i don't want to just make it all the same color.. i was thinking of adding some lace or ribbon or something with a different color.
so do any of you have ideas what would be nice to add to it? and what colors for the lace/ribbon/whatever would look best with the light blue fabric?

thanks!

My appreciation of champagne has filled all my empty vases (and even a flower pot)



So I took them to work with me and my kindergartners made ( Cute Green Frogs )

I've been making journal covers with decoupage and they always seem to stay a little sticky. Is there something I can do to treat the finish when it's done so that it looses that tacky feeling?
