Zee Boyfriend Blanket

So for my boyfriends birthday I decided to make him something we could both share..

A T-Shirt Blanket!  Super, Super Easy to make

I got a bunch of old band shirts from bands we both liked sewed 'em all up.  Then, since I'm cheap and lazy...I went to the thrift store and bought a comforter for like $8.  Then I took the front off the comforter, modified it a little, and then sewed my panel of shirts on.  Like I said, very  easy!  And he loves it.  Plus it is very, very ,comfy.

 
 

Felt Question & Card Pics

[rissykay99.livejournal.com]

So, I have a really great idea for an advent calendar, but I've never worked extensively with felt before. I'm just wondering, if I cut a shape out of felt, do I need to stitch around the edges or will the shape stay sharp (without fraying of any kind) without stitching? For example: if I cut out an ornament, but didn't stitch the edges, will it warp/fray with time?

Thanks in advance!

Shipping cookies and modelling dough

[madfishmonger.livejournal.com]

Has anyone ever shipped cookies by mail? What would be the best way to do package them?

I'm working in a nursery class, and I thought I'd like to do something for the kids for the holidays (two weeks away from school is a long time when you're 4). Since the kids don't all celebrate one holiday, I was thinking of doing something winter-themed. Do you have any good recipes for a simple dough for ornaments? I though I'd cut out ornaments with cookie cutters (the first letter of their name, which is something we're working on) and put their names on them. I was thinking of one or two colours and some glitter.
What's your favourite recipe for this kind of dough? Can I work glitter into it or does it have to go on top?

Honest opinions?

It's a papier mache mask of a map of Paris with a little French moustache drawn on (which I will later paint darker and thicker). In my head it seemed like a really cool idea, but I feel kind of blah about it now. What do you guys think? Totally lame?

Celtic Minotaur Torc

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

Hi everyone! Although this is one of my older works, it is by far the one I'm most proud of to-date. The minotaur Celtic neck-torc. A whopping piece of neck adornment, bejeweled with 5 gem-stones PER head. That's ten stones in total for the torc itself, and 6 for the pendant.

From the description;
The torc is made of a thick noble-steel braid, and the heads are silver, with 24k gold accenting on the 'collar' braid and the balls on top of the horns. Each head carries 2 Lapis Lazuli stones on the cheeks, 2 Amber stones for the eyes, and in between the horns we find a piece of Garnet. 5 stones per head making up the ten stones for the entire torc. The eye sockets are roughly drilled out on the inside, which therefor reflect light from almost every angle it's held in, making the Amber pieces SHINE. It looks amazing in person.

The pendant is a female version, but carries the same gold detailing and stonework. The only difference is that the end of this pendant carries a giant 9mm Onyx stone. The pendant hangs from a cord that runs through the mouth of the cow.
