Re: Crafting with VHS Tapes
OK, you are officially Queen of the Craft Lab! I so want to make some of those bookends, but I have to replace my old copy of "Hackers" first . . .

Great job giving us not only the toothpick holder tips, but also showing how they hold up after washing! That's invaluable . . .

This is incredibly clever - I really want to try this!! I have a stack of knits on the floor of my sewing room waiting for refashioning . . .

Hey, DG! Trying to catch up on my blogs on the way back from Oaxaca, and saw this! Can't wait to show you the gourd bowls I got here - they carve a design into the exterior surface while the gourd is still wet, then preserve it as it dries - very cool!

Yup! Brilliant! If you get the kind that's fusible on one side, could you attach fabric to it first? Or paper? You know, for color! Hmmm . . . endless possibilities, no wilting!

Oh, this is so great! I'd really love to learn how to crochet so that I can incorporate it into my fiber art and clothing remakes - is there a book you'd recommend (with really big, clear illustrations?)
