Aug. 7th, 2008 04:10 pmi have a few ideas for images to be etched onto metal flasks. i've seen the etching cream for glass on the martha stewart show can't really get any answers on google and i'm wondering if any etching creams would work on metal? i might try that stuff that makes things look frosted but i'm not sure how permanent that would be against wear & tear. i appreciate any help or suggestions :)
a question and a craft-ish thing
Aug. 7th, 2008 04:21 pmOK, I'm going on a vacation with a lot of downtime, so I was hoping to get a lot of drawing in. I usually just travel with a small sketchbook and regular pens, but because of all the free time I'll have on this one, I want to bring some bristol board and my nib pens/ink...
Question: has anyone had problems with bringing ink and/or metal pen nibs on an airplane? I've checked the TSA requirements, and I don't see ink or nibs mentioned anywhere (either as allowed or prohibited). The ink I'd be bringing is in a 1 oz bottle, so the size isn't an issue. The nib holders are plastic and shouldn't pose a problem; I'm concerned about the nibs themselves.
I solemnly swear that I will not blow up an airplane with my illustration gear. I just have this vision of some security guard thinking the nibs are tiny knives or something...
And so this is not just boring textual question bollocks, have some beetle baseball cards I made as part of my senior thesis project. Kind of crafty, in an insane way?

They did indeed have stats and everything on the backs.

Warning: Lots of pictures!
I made a bunch of new stuff that I am really excited about and want to show off! I also did my first decoupage project. I had this really ugly old side dresser that I still think is usefull, just really ugly!
This is what it looked like before:

Aug. 7th, 2008 10:16 pmI was asked by a coworker to help with costumes for a stage production of Donnie Darko. Time and a limited fabric budget wouldn't allow me to make the Sparkle Motion outfits exactly like the movie, but here's what I've got so far:

They're bringing in the black tops (or, in this case, a bodysuit) themselves, and they'll have leggings under the skirt as well to avoid "wardobe malfunctions." I liked the diagonal stripe on the bodysuit when I first sewed it on, but now I'm wondering whether it looks too much like a beauty-pageant sash. I'll be making scrunchies/headbands and possibly wristbands with the scraps of silver lycra.
( A few other summer sewing projects )
