1/15/12 Little Spinner Tin Book-Box

Kim's lovely "what's the next creative
project & who is it for" spinner book box

Take a chance and give it a spin!  Decorate an empty "Altoids" tin, inside and out, and attach the spinner on top.  Make and decorate your accordion book, just the right size to fit in the tin with daily “food for thought” contemplation or journaling, fortunes for fun, “will I get my wish?”, “my luck today”, creative writing tool,  chores, exercise, “what’s for dinner”, etc.  It can be a fun way to, get your mind off work, encourage creativity, create a little discipline or just make a decision.   Easy to duplicate for all your friends and family.

1/29/12 Useful can be Arty Zippered Pouch

Edie's Beautiful Zippered Pouch

Working on fabric feels good and when you have a beautiful, useful zippered pouch when you're done... well what could be better?  Using relief printing techniques, simple appliqué, and painting, decorate an 11" x 6" (size may change depending on availability from vendor) canvas zippered pouch.  It can be filled with anything, art tools to make-up (I use mine as a camera case).  A great, versatile gift!!
