Weekly craft challenge

[amphigori.livejournal.com]

Edited
Sorry if this isn't allowed - but I'd be keen to start up a weekly crafty challenge where a theme is offered and anyone who wants to use the theme can show off the stuff they make inspired by the theme. Some examples of ones I have in mind are:

- Miniature: Take a craft you usually do but do it *small*. Knit? Make a scarf for a doll, etc ...
- Pets: Do something for, or inspired by your pet.
- Edible: Bake that haunted gingerbread house. Create those adorable ladybug cupcakes!

Etc ...

I thought about doing it through this awesome community but thought maybe I'd just start one specific to the challenge so it's easier to keep track of (and so people who don't want to participate don't have to scroll through challenge-related posts).

I've removed the poll because it seems enough people want something like this and feedback from members and mods was to start a new community. Thanks heaps for your feedback and sorry for any confusion my wording may have caused.

New community is called 'CraftyChallenge' and is being built now:

Thanks again everyone.

I first got the idea to make flying pig earrings 8 months ago when I first got polymer clay...but my stupid clumsy fingers couldn't make them look right. I forgot all about it till someone requested a pair....tah-dah!!!

More hemp necklaces and a bag

Bag-O-Monster!

I made this little beach bag out of a terry cloth beach towel. Also great for storing bath toys. Click on images to see bigger versions.


Inside are some gifts I've made for a wee little chap I know.

new purse

I made this purse tonight.  I like it... I added a weird zipper pocket thing inside and it makes it sort of bulky, but it overall seems pretty nice.  I hope you like it!
