Hi everyone! Just want to show the handmade journals made by me and my stepfather.

This journal is made of recycled jeans fabric, the cover is embellished with simple ribbon in white and green. Filled with upcycled assorted white, cream and blank paper, lined paper, vintage maps, pages from sheduler. Each time I turn a page I have a different combination of papers. Size approximately 4 x 6.5 inches, 240 pages counted both sides.

I tried googling this but I got mixed results, so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm starting a new project with polymer clay, specifically fimo, and I need to make a set of eyes for it. I was going to shape them, then bake them briefly to get them firm enough that they won't lose their shape when I form the face around them.  I had planned on adding a few details with acrylic paint after I baked them, before I stuck them in the face, but I realized I'd be baking them again when I cured the entire project.  Can I bake lightly painted clay like that or will it ruin everything?  

Thank you kindly, this is such a great community.  :)

Glue for metal question.

I would like to use some vintage costume jewelery to make hair accessories, such as bobby pins in particular and would like to know what sort of glue would be best to bond metals together.

Thanks!
