Hey, I'm looking for advice on print gocco materials. I've had a look around at the different models. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on which model to buy (for beginners). It looks like the B5 and B6 are popular. Any preferences? Also, what's a fair price to pay? I'm...

I decided to post in the forums. D': ehhh. uhm. OKAY, so I'm cleaning my room right now. And it's honestly very hard for me to keep my room clean/organized. (I don't know why.) Well, how's everyone's Easter, so far? My weekend's been a bore.

I dont know what to do! one of my friends is in a very serious emotional abuse issue, but i cant get her to believe me, because of a prior hatred of the guy. Its a friend of mine from elementary school, and she's going out with my boyfriend's stepbrother (im sure you all have...

Hi all, I have a question. I am making a little felt cushion kind of thing. Now I want to put something in that smells nice. What can you suggest?The only thing that I can come up with is lavender.

I know a few people on here are experts with this kind of thing, so I thought I'd leave it open. I bought a home kit for false nails and put them on yesterday (for a play). I wanted to paint them red but the paint I used wasn't right. Can I use nail varnish remover on them? Or...

Hey all, I don't like clutter but do tend to hang on to unique items and one-of a kinds. I hoard paper and have a decent collection of used and unused cards that I've built over the years. I have stationary, greeting cards and postcards from many countries. I love them and...

I've been stumbling through all the craft websites and realized huh all of these patterns are for old people. Let us share good patterns online! Can you tell I'm out of ideas?

The tag line under the ISSUES + RANTS says "A place getting all those pressing issues of your chests." instead of OFF your chests? I actually think it should read "A place to get all those pressing issues off your chests." But...I could be wrong.

Help me! I am making chocolate filled eggs for my co-workers (saw it on craftzine). I've followed the instructions and everything has gone well up until now. I have poked a hole in the ends of my eggs and blown out the yolks. The instructions then say to cover the eggs in warm...

Haha! today for the first time, i'm making soup. From scratch. And my mother told me i never could, or would (maybe thats why i'm so damn domestic?? mothers fault!) So I'm making a veggie stock first, though after i make the stock, im a little lost at what to put in it. But i...

I have to do a 4000 - 5000 word essay on a topic (to do with art) of my choice. So I've decided to look at the arts and craft movement from when it started to now. Has any of you noticed a difference in when you got into craft and now? And if you're older how has it changed...

What kind of spraypaint would work best on clothes? Something that won't wash out.

How would you make one? If you don't get what I mean like a shirt that can be used as a dress paired with leggings or just a shirt with jeans. How would you go about making something like that?
