I made these today! 3.25 x 3.25 inches, hand bound with 60 pages of mixed papers and screen printed covers! It's my second time silk screening and I am really pleased with the results!

Back to creativity!

After a long long break I finally got to make some earrings. I've been working on cleaning my work area and everything to make new stuff is hard to get to. I'm glad this spurred me to get cleaning and I am almost done now!

Bead Capturing (Text only post)

[mooneflowerz.livejournal.com]

Quick Question!

I've done this before, but it's been almost 2 years since I last did it so I'm looking for something to help me get refreshed in this (the place I learned how to do this at is now closed...) so I can capture a cameo...

Does anyone know of a good site that has the instructions for capturing a bead/button with other beads? I've looked at a couple, but they were really more complicated to follow than what I learned...

Thank you all in advance...

Black Violet, Finis!

I finished my Violet Beauregard this morning. Yay!

I still don't have the hang of blocking yet, but it's not really that lumpy...

( Violet, oh she's black and blue... )

Yarn used: Knitpicks Palette, F hook.
Pattern: Violet Beauregard, from Happy Hooker

While I'm at it...

The boyfriend wanted me to make little cell phone purses/cases for his daughters...

Note to self (and others)....always leave EXTRA room in your pattern when cutting for an item that's more than 1/4" thick...

I didn't get to go along to deliver them, but I hear they were a hit! Yay!!

Hi I'm a newbie

Hello everyone I'm new here

Here is some stuff I made recently

Sworovski Crystals

[dillydaisy.livejournal.com]

I am making my friend's necklace for her wedding along with all her bridesmaids. All together equalling just under 1000 Sworovski cyrstals. Does anyone know where to buy them in bulk for cheap(er). Also, this is my first time working with them (and crimping beads too.. I have the pliers, I've just never done it before) so if anyne has any advice or suggestions on this sort of stuff, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Gocco-ed Fabric?

[heartsarts.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Has anyone ever used their print gocco on fabric? I have the special fabric ink and I'm wondering how well it prints and stays on the fabric with repeated washings. Is there a certain way to "seal" the ink, like ironing it?

Any links or info would be great :)

Thank You!

With St. Valentine's Day coming soon, I have been busy making some cards for my close friends. Here are a few I have made. Truly, a labour of love.
( Love cards here )

I used my Cricut cutter to cut all the hearts, and the little elephant. I got the idea for the shaker card from a card design magazine. I really liked the idea, and the card came out ok.

Printer Issues

[ladypolurbehr.livejournal.com]

I have a pretty cheap printer - since it's mostly for papers - but occasionally, I like to also print out little cards and things, and for the most part  it's fine. But sometimes it does those little lines in the color - the first couple will be ok, but the first couple are usually done so I can get the positioning down right - then it comes to the actual prints, and I get lines.

I was wondering if anyone had tips on how to make this not happen? D:

( Here's what it looks like. )

Thanks!
