Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
It was mentioned on the youtube channel, threadbanger. I really loved the format and the attitudes of the members who had posted projects, so i joined.
What projects are you currently working on?
I just finished a crochet fan bookmark, which still needs to be starched and ironed..Next thing on the docket is just packing house, and planning my new crafting space.

What does your craft space look like?
Unfortunately, i'm moving this week, into a new house. My new house will have a converted bedroom for me to use as an office though--maybe a project is in order for this, too ( i have some plans, including a darling cork-wall for pinning inspirations)
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Me and my scissors...i use them when i sew, when i crochet, sometimes when i make food for parties i'll photoshop a label with ingredients and cut that out..they're just super versatile and commonly used.
What do you craft along to?
I love futurama for this, since the stories carry over well if you're just listening. I also listen to music, things like siouxsie and the banshees, the birthday massacre, chumbawumbas, cocorosie..all kinds of things.

Laurel's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I'd really love to work with sculpture, molding and resin casting, and probably will in the future. Or, latex clothing making.
Who are your crafting heroes?
I love corrine and rob from threadbanger, and barry belcher, who is a member here and has youtube videos. He's amazing--he has done everything from cooking to murals to amazing sculptures!
Autonomous's Favorite Projects
1. Burlesque Bustle Skirt - This one is my absolute favorite--It's easy, doesn't take a lot of material, has tons of room for variation, and can really tie an outfit together....Though i haven't uploaded it, i made one in a black fabric printed with green pirate ship flags. I'll have to upload that later :) 2. Sweet Lolita Strawberry Cake Hat - This one is on my eternal to-do list because of the foam used as the base, but its just so darling, and if you look through the versions people have made, it always seems to turn out lovely! 3. Technically Art Television - This is just a super great concept, and i intend to create it in my new home soon :)
