2008 diary

[marajane01.livejournal.com]

I know it has been posted about before, but I just want to throw it out there again! 

http://www.fantazya.ca/diary2008.html

This is a diary being made from a collaboration of artists, one person designing each page. The deadline is fast approaching (the 15th), and there are still pages that have not been claimed by anyone. So if you're interested, get to work! P.S.--It's free advertising if you have a shop/website/store/etc. that you want to promote. :)

cute summery necklaces!

[cabrita.livejournal.com]

I've been watching this community for a while, but this is my first time posting.

My aunt described a necklace and earring set she'd seen to me, and I tried to recreate it for her. I had two attempts, and I think the second one is 100% better than the first--what do you think?

red transluscent vinyl

[le-soleil-noir.livejournal.com]

Alright. Desperate.
I'm making this Domo Kun Ipod case for a friend
http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/02/how_to_make_a_domokun_ipod_cas.html

and i have all the materials except some damn red transluscent vinyl.
NO ONE in town carries the stuff ...
and the thing is, i only need a small little square (dude, this project is SO CHEAP because i got most of the other fabric as free samples)

so help anyone?
on where to get some? (but i dont want to buy a whole bunch since i only need like a 2 inch square)
or could i buy some from someone?
or pay shipping?
or something?

I really want to finish this for my friend... its driving me crazy trying to keep it a secret!
thank you in advance!

Fabric Book Cover

[http://users.livejournal.com/anam_cara_/]

I finally completed my Harry Potter/Deathly Hallows care packages. I made fabric book covers for the new book.

I found the most incredibly luxurious moleskin in a deep, dark red (much deeper than the photos show), I'm so in love with this fabric. It's thick and soft and fabulous. The shimmery gold completes the Gryffindor color scheme. I wish I would have ordered patches to add to them, but alas, I didn't, but hopefully these can be used for more than just the HP books.

Super Bag!

After breaking 4 needles and nearly losing my mind I finally finished the grand idea I had when helping my mom clean out her attic.

Light blue glitter vinyl?!?

[genericgirl.livejournal.com]

I just got 3 new colors in the glitter vinyl family. I bought purple, light blue and lime green. I bought the purple from fabric.com and they were fantastic! They rolled not folded my vinyl and it came super quick and shipping was under 5 bucks.

The light blue and lime green came from syfabrics.com and I will NEVER order from them again. They crammed the vinyl into a small box, putting creases in it which from loads of vinyl experience takes forever to come out and I paid double the shipping and 5 dollars more a yard. When I emailed them about it I got the following response.

"HI Stacy,

we apologize for any inconvenience. The creases do eventually come out.

syfabrics"

Instead of emailing them again I'm just going to go elsewhere for my sparkle vinyl. So the break down as follows.

Fabric.com:

14.95 a yard plus 4.95 for shipping. (shipped in a long fabric bolt box with no creases)


Syfabrics.com:

19.95 a yard and 9.95 for shipping. (shipped in a tiny box were there are tons of deep creases which will force me to work around them loosing out on a lot of fabric. Crappy customer service.)

Here is my first creation with some of the light blue sparkle vinyl. I'm just cutting around the creases and not using that part of the fabric. I'm also putting in an order at another place to get more colors.



( 3 more pictures this way. )

The Other Boot

[archers-elegant.livejournal.com]

Thanks to all who offered suggestions to improve the boot handbag. I played around with the other one of the pair and this is the newest version.

( Boot Handbag #2 )

Every one I make is different as I use gently loved boots.

Who's feeling creative?

[the-odd-one.livejournal.com]

So I've got a weird one and I'm here to sap your creative juices.


Ive got a box of plastic overhead sheets. (About 50, 8.5"x11".)

I have no idea what to do with them but I want to make stuff.
The only hangup is that they won't hold wet media (like acrylic paint). I assume they'd take sharpie, but keep in mind it wouldn't keep it opaque.

What do you think I could do with them?

Ready? GO.

knitting til i have a menagerny

another knitted monster. this time a domesticated sasquatch. and when one does finally domesticate a sasquatch, what does one do with it then?

put it to work in an office, obviously.

knitted for a friend of mine's son, and thank you to everyone who so helpfully answered all my questions on here about a month ago about knitting for little 'uns. they were all really helpful!

Decorating Bottle Caps

[tokyogirlo0o.livejournal.com]

Okay, I have this idea but I need some help in executing it.

I got some metal bottle caps and painted one with acrylic paint. I have some words that I typed on the computer using a cool font and I want to put it on the bottle cap. I thought about rub on transfer paper but: 1) It looks expensive and 2) I can't seem to find many places that sell it, especially not in any of the stores near me.

Any ideas on how to transfer the text to the bottle cap?
