In response to Emma< LJ user = "hjgkfdrruyf">
And here are some questions
She'd really appreciate getting feedback
on for a project She's working on:

my answers to her survey and a self introduction

♥ How long have you been crafting?
first time I got caught-? age 5? did an entire wall as hi as I could reach
dad's been getting even with me ever since
grandma taught him some finn swearwords
because he'd fallen asleep-and didn't stop me.

♥ How did you get interested in crafting?
mom was doing it you name it she learned it and so did I,
dad taught me carpentry and not to be afraid of power tools
the combination makes me fearless and a bit of trouble...

♥ How did you learn to craft? watching my folks
reading, museums, looking at antiques- How'd they do that?
just doing it when I could teaching when I can.

♥ What sort of crafting do you do?
mostly I've been doing anything i can fit on my lap.
I love fibre- weave-needlework, knit- crochet- needle felt, cloth- all kinds of quilting,
peiced/applique/scatchwork/painted, bead work of all kinds. I love seed beads best
but I've been makes stuffed beads of a sorts... dorset buttins- sewing stuff critters, clothes
and I get at least one thing done a day on rebuilding a 1860's house.
today I framed in a window. ;8^J. only 5 to go

♥ What sort of things do you make?
I've a suitcase of small painting that are quilted, another of stuffed scupltures & dolls,
the quilted beads need to be strung, a pile of needle felted mushrooms
lately i've been making sox- from the toe down-with 2 circular needles

♥ Why do you craft?
because I love making something out of nothing
I love color and sculpting 3 dimensional things.
I'm happy learning and practicing what I learned,
and teaching it to anyone when they are ready.

'Also, if anyone might be willing to answer further,
more in-depth questions and participate in crafting research,
can I have your e-mail address?'

gift card boxes

I did these for all those hard to shop for people that I just end up getting gift cards for. They worked out really well, I just used scrapbook paper and a knitting needle instead of a paper scorer.

The pattern is from Heather Bailey.

Egg Carton Light Garland

[silverkeys7.livejournal.com]

Something to brighten up my dreary little grad student (read: zero decorating budget) bedroom. The idea came from Apartment Therapy.

Cardboard "bumps" from the inside dividers of an egg crate, cut up with an X-acto knife and set onto a cheap strand of white Christmas lights.

tye-dye

[notapromqueen.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry if the answer to this is ridiculously obvious.

I have an orange shirt. I want to make this shirt tye-dyed with orange, blue and white. Is this possible? Can I, maybe, use bleach to make the white, and once it dyes, use blue tye-dye ink for the blue on some of the white? Is there an easier way to go about doing this?
