Crafty Litsters show your work!

Groovy! The hat is fantastic!!
But DO tell....
"I got in trouble at work so I'm off this weekend.... "
:D
 
I have an announcement to make-- I've given up on trying to code my own e-commerce cart. I've discovered a free hosted service that-- I think-- will solve all of my problems, namely http://storenvy.com

go take a look. You can plug it in to your current website, you will be listed AT storenvy the way you are on etsy (To any of us who are still using etsy-- I strongly advise you leave that ship like the rat you are :D ) and you can plug right into facebook. All at once.

And that's the news for this Monday night...

Oh it's fucked up, my work is one of those places where someone else can murder someone but if I look at a person cock-eyed, I'm suspended. Bleh

I got this icon editing program and found out it also edits smilies and animated gifs. So, I played a little bit.

I was going to put it in my signature, but found out that Lit doesn't allow it. :mad:

aw, it's cute :)
 
Not completely hand made but I love to find sad old hats, feathers, and adornments and give them new life. Here's what I whipped up last minute for an event.
The hat needed a bit of steaming and I added the feathers and a taxidermy black bird.

A brighter closer pic. The tall feathers are too big (about 2 feet tall) to get in most of the pics that night

I got in trouble at work so I'm off this weekend. I'm having craft night with cocktails so hopefully I'll have more to share, unless we get carried away with the cocktail part.


that is freakin amazing,love it! Personally couldn't deal with a real dead bird on my head, but it looks great.

That is really neat, LK, and you totally rock it!
 
Thanks guys. It took a bit of a beating as there was much shenanigans (like me falling on my ass on the dancefloor) but it still looks ok.
@Niam, yeah I wear a lot of dead things (mostly vintage) I've also had my share of run-ins with anti-fur people. Oh that's fun :rolleyes:

Craft night was replaced with bar hopping night. But I'll get these hats made soon (I want them outta my head and on it, lol)

Personally, I'd love to be repurposed and upcycled after i'm dead. The fur peeps should chill, its a *vintage* dead thing, after all.... ;)
 
Stella, how have you liked this? I have been debating shutting my etsy down for awhile because I do most of my business on FB anyway.
Then doo eet! It's pretty good. Of course I have been fucking around with the templates, which can mess up your functionality some, but on the whole it seems to work pretty well.

And it gives you this;

I haven't figured out how to optimise it just yet.
 
OK, nothing very special. I'm still playing with my smilie editing software. You gotta play with it, so you can figure out what all it does, right?

If you saw the first little thing I uploaded, you can tell that I used it for a base to start this one. I've called this one ZAP. Poor little guy zaps something off screen and the aftermath is almost too much.

Yeah, I know...it's not that much of a craft, but it's still fun to play with, just the same.

Cerebral smilies? I like it...
 
Paints Question

I have a craft I want to undertake that involves painting rocks for outdoor use. Can the resident painters tell me what kind of paint is best?

I'm thinking of doing the base coat in an acrylic outdoor aerosol (read:krylon) and I'm thinking the detail layer should be in acrylic, too.

What say yee?
 
Hey, I know this one!:D

Waterbased enamels like Red Devil will grip really well to krylon spray acrylic. You can tint them with universal pigments and work them like artist paints-- even like watercolor. If you really thin them out they lose some holding strength, but a clear coat afterwards will restore that.

Fantastic! Thank you.
 
I'm working on a wedding party and the bride asked to have a garter made out of the same fabric that all of the kilts will be made from.

I'm thinking this might just be a new product I offer.
