Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I was looking for craft projects, when I first started several years ago and I came across Cut Out+Keep quite a few times while doing so. I spent hours browsing through all the projects and tutorials. I liked it so much, I made myself an account.
What projects are you currently working on?
A pair of black triangle earrings, but I'm having some trouble with them.

What does your craft space look like?
Please don't judge me. I know my craft space is in dire need of some tidying up. I craft wherever I have room. This desk is used to put supplies or anything I can use. On the wall you can see some souvenirs from trips abroad. The dragon is from when I celebrated the Chinese New Year in London.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Polymer clay is what I use the most. It's just incredibly versatile.
What do you craft along to?
When I listen to music, I like rock or any variation of rock. When watching tv, I usually put on some Simpsons, Family Guy or whatever series I'm following at that time (GoT, AHS, OITNB).

I love making jewelry for myself and for friends. Polymer clay is my weapon of choice. There are so many techniques and so many possibilities.

Minimax's Favorite Projects
Zombie Kitty - This is one of the first projects that led me to Cut Out+Keep. It's adorable and the pattern is fairly easy to follow. Origami Gift Box - This has saved me a lot of trouble when wrapping gifts. Iron Throne, For Your Phone - The Iron Throne looks incredible. I have yet to try it, but I don't think it's that hard.
