Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I search DIY projects on google and I found some projects from CO+K. I clicked on the start page and it had all these awesome projects submitted by everyone around the world so I just had to join myself too!!
What projects are you currently working on?
I just finished doing my first plushie. Now I am trying to knit my first socks, my grandmother helps me when I do something wrong.
I will also start working on a swap I will do with my bestfriend on CO+K.

What does your craft space look like?
We have crafting supplies all over our house as my mother is also crafty. I use my room the most, sometimes the kitchen, and I have my own drawing nook that my dad made for me when I were a child :)
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
The craft supply I use the most is paper. You can alternate paper and cardboard in so many ways!! The tool I use the most must be scissors and cutters, obviously. But the sewing machine is also very important to me.
What do you craft along to?
I am so engaged in my projects when I am doing them that I can’t watch tv at the same time. But I often put on some music, depending on my mood. Sometimes rock, sometimes enigmatic or japanese.
Ninni-Martine's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
I do scrapbooking and other paper related things and decorating (decoden) the most. I like to make anime themed crafts. I am a collector so I have kept things from I was little without using them – until now! So basically, I just find a lot of different material I have collected through my life, and I "steal" my moms’ craft supplies and I just decorate or make whatever I need in that moment. I like revamping and reusing/recycling.
Ninni-Martine's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I wish I was better at knitting, crochet and sewing. I am also not at drawing, which is sad because I like to draw projects before I make them so that I can plan a little bit before I actually make things.
Who are your crafting heroes?
Everyone on the internet and on CO+K!! There are so many cool blogs and pictures on the internet. There are also very many things I get inspiration from in real life too – school, friends, anime, books, nature, and the list could go on forever.
I am also really grateful to my mother and my grandmother. My mom made me do crafting as a child and I have continued. My grandmother is very good at knitting and sewing so she teaches me when I need it.

Hinamori Amu Cosplay Bag: I love this project because you can't buy these, and for a Shugo Chara fan it's just perfect. Picture Frames: This is such a cute idea and I actually made my own version too, great for birthday presents. Fairy Jar: I am obsessed with fairies so this is a must have for me!
