question

I need craft advice.

My sister died on November 4th suddenly from a botched surgery.
Well, apparently after they allowed my brother in law to see her, the nurse asked him if he wanted a sample of her hair as a keepsake. He went ahead and took it.

He's asked me to try and do something crafty with it so it's not just a ziploc with some hair in it. He wants me to have a little of it and wants to keep some for himself.

I've looked at the hair and it's not very much, just enough where it looks like the nurse pinched some off and snipped it. It's from her bangs, so it's only about half an inch long and I'm STUMPED as to what to do with it.

I know I could try figuring out resin and put it in a pendant, but honestly, resin is expensive and it's just a very small amount of hair. Also, that's not really manly.

What could I possibly do with that small amount of hair??
thanks for any help you could give me.

Why is the vibrancy of some types of images less than the original item when scanned on a flat bed

[addicted2crafts.livejournal.com]

I've started scanning all the scrap booking paper or stickers or iron on's I buy, in an effort to make my supplies go a bit farther, since once used I still have their copy on my computer. I do not do this for selling I do it for personal fun and to make my money and my purchase go a bit farther. Also do it for ease of shareing what I bought with friends when it's not handy to photograph the item.


However when you scan something that's glittery or metalic, it comes out very flat looking, and in some cases, like the red metalic apples They come out looking a bit black. Why is that, is it the quality of my dad's scanner, or is it simply cause scanned images will rarely have the same vibrancy the original will.

Sorry for the text only, but how are fabric covered buttons made?

I'm in the UK, so no "Go to Jo-Anns or Michaels"

Any tutorials or ideas of what's needed?

Thank You!!
