@megwell, cool use of stamps! What will you use the flexible stirp for?

I just realized the tin of mini candles looks kind of like an ashtray full of cigarette butts!!!

I thought that’s what it was at first glance. But then saw they had weird tips for a cigarette. Then read your description and realized why 
Your tutorial is great, and I love that the size is so customizable

Brief Description: Recently, we were expecting severe weather overnight, and I was keyed up about it. While randomly harvesting some magazines to chill out, I kept finding pertinent bits. So I decided to glue them down on a scrap magazine page (and then color with crayons, because they were handy). It feels kind of dumb as a craft, but it did help.

I’m blurring the photo because this card is very similar to one I just put in the mail for the ATC swap, so I don’t want to spoil it for the recipient.

Brief Description:
Tapestry wanted to make a food-themed craft using or inspired by plastic.
It featured a variety of colors including silver and white. Everyone remarked how bold and jolly it looked when they gazed upon the finished project.

Brief Description: I made this as a present for my partner. It’s the “original” SW logo. I upscaled an image to be large and clear enough to fit a t-shirt, then configured, printed, and heat pressed it with my sublimation set up. I got it about 3 mm off center and it drives me nuts, but you can’t really tell so much when it is being worn.

Project Name: Knot Trivets
Project Link:
Brief Description: I tried these as an experiment. They each took 19 feet of rope. It’s a Turk’s Head knot, and while it’s not hard, it was a pain to wrangle 19 feet of 1/2 inch rope. My rope wasn’t stiff, so I attempted to stiffen them after the fact. It mostly worked. I didn’t get a good even distribution of the starch, and it very slightly discolored the rope, so there were tinges of yellow. I have a ton of rope left, so I’m going to try again, and hopefully have them on my holiday gift buffet way later this year.
