stash tea bag packets?

[xnomorehotdogsx.livejournal.com]

Hi there,

Since I live in Portland where Stash tea is from, our office provides free Stash tea and I've been saving all the color packets. I would like to do something with them because there are lots of fun colors to make patterns with!

Any creative ideas? I was also wondering if you could sew this type of material together?

Thanks!

Pouring resin to make magnets?

[asscollection.livejournal.com]

My awesome friend bought me these Frida Kahlo stickers. I've been thinking about how I want to display them, and I decided they would all make great magnets. I have experience with pouring/poured resin (Envirotex, specifically) but not with actual molds and putting resin in molds. After attaching the stickers to a strong backing on which I would later place the magnet, could I just turn the stickers face up and pour resin on them? I've done this with larger paintings and collages, but never with anything this small. Each sticker is about 2inch by 1inch.

ETA: I'm asking if this can be done WITHOUT molds, and instead use the Envirotex Pouring Resin, like some people do with paintings and collages (I've done this myself, with a larger painting on wood panel).

Margaux Lange?

I just stumbled upon Margaux Lange and her creepily fascinating Barbie jewelry. Has anyone done anything similar to this, or have any idea how to make this work? I'm suddenly really interested in jewelry [maybe because I'm back at home and my mom is a lampworker?] and want to go buy Barbies from goodwill and start making something like this!

How to make these?

I'm curious as to how to make these kind of friendship bracelets...

They don't look like macramae or knotted, maybe woven? Any ideas? 

Thanks!

Mousie!

Hey all! I've been so super busy, I haven't been able to read this community or post at all. However, I just finished part of my costume for tomorrow night's costume party and I really wanted to share it.

I'm going as the Mad Hatter, my own sort of version, not any movie version in particular. As I was making the hat, it started to look a bit steampunky so I kinda ran with it.

Have a look!




( larger pics, more angles )

The top hat came from a Halloween costume shop. The tea sets are from a dollar store. They had Disney characters on them and I just painted over them with black acrylic paint first and then the metallic colors. Just about everything is glued on with E6000.

Some recent deviations...

Hello all!

If you're bored and looking for something to stare at, and also love leaving random comments, I recently uploaded some images of my clay crafting to deviantart.

I'm applying to an arty art job, and dude said if I got a bunch of comments on my work on deviantart, it would really help my chances. Even if it's just a smiley face, I would be forever in your clicky service.
