I got the November/December issue of Somerset Studio and it has a lot of nice ideas for making ornaments. If you like angels, it is worth getting just for Lisa Engelbrecht’s article on Angel Tree Toppers. I have a whole bag of supplies someone picked up for me that are for making those fussy Victorian […]
The November issue of The Crafts Report magazine had a very informative and thought provoking article about studio safety in it. If you can find an issue in your local library or bookstore, you should take a look.
Being safe while we create is so important. However, so many times, artists put how well a glue […]
I just picked up a copy of Somerset Holidays and Celebrations today. There are so many wonderful ideas for the different holidays in there. I can’t decide what to do first, so I’m doing something completely different until I make up my mind. I love that it isn’t just about Christmas or Halloween, since I’ve […]
I bought quite a few craft books recently and thought I’d share my views on them for those of you who might be thinking about expanding your collection. Here they are:
* Creole Thrift: Premium Southern Living Without Spending a Mint - I was really disappointed. The cover looked very promising and the book was recommended […]
I picked up the September/October issue of RubberStampMadness this week. I haven’t subscribed recently and thought I’d see what was going on. Is it just me or did converting to the regular size make the magazine less special to you, too? I understand completely that the company had to make a business decision that kept […]

Whether you’re painting your home or creating a craft project, this book is a wonderful aid for creating a beautiful, cohesive finished project. The book […]
I just picked up a copy of Artful Blogging, a new quarterly publication from Stampington and Company. If you’re a beginning blogger, there are a few tips that could help you start up a free blog, but the real beauty of this publication is being able to take a look at some of the images […]
I got my copy of In This House: A Collection of Altered Art Imagery and Collage Techniques the other day and finally had time to look it over. It was a fun book to look through, with plenty of inspiration and technique ideas. I loved the way each artist was able to create her dream […]
I just got the July issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors and what a great issue! This magazine is packed with stuff I can’t wait to try. Awesome backgrounds and collage articles from some of my favorite mixed media artists.

This is a fun way to use up some of those spray on dyes or color mist products you never got around to trying. You will need some old fashioned rick rack, a piece of cardstock or watercolor paper (glossy cardstock doesn’t work well-it smears too much) and some spray dye or color mist colors. […]
