Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I found CO+K when I was searching the internet for some inspiration with different craft projects. Right away I really loved the site and enjoy looking at all the new projects each day, and I've found so many ideas that I really love and inspire me!
What projects are you currently working on?
I'm always working on many projects at one time, but the main ones I am working with is painting some more shirts for my husband's t-shirt collection, a few different paintings, and a few sculpting projects. I have a notebook that is rapidly filling with ideas thanks to my husband and always have something new to try!

What does your craft space look like?
My craft space is a mix of paint bottles, canvases, blank t-shirts, sculpey clay, yarn, anything I can get really to work with. I also have my miscellaneous bag for small things like springs, ribbon, parts from old computers, and bells.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
There are so many I use a lot, but my favorites that I use quite often are sculpey clay and my acrylic paints.
What do you craft along to?
I listen to a wide variety of music, especially something that is fast paced when I am focused on some fine details.
Laura's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
I enjoy everything I've ever tried, but I always go back to painting, sculpting, and origami the most. I greatly love detail work, so my favorite things are always the ones I spend that extra bit of time to add a few extra details to.
Laura's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I'm trying to learn to knit currently and really want to knit a halloween costume. I very much love a challenge so I try to expand out and learn something new or try to do something different with what I know.
Who are your crafting heroes?
Anyone who finds new uses for products or can see all the amazing things you can create with random stuff around you that would usually end up being thrown away.
Laura's Favorite Projects
First Impressions - This one means so much to me, my husband made it for when we first met at the airport. He included a special joke between us about the bugs, and since we both really enjoy DQ he added that too. Heart Made Of Money - This is one of the very first projects that really caught my attention. I love origami so very much and the heart just looks so very beautiful! Little Letters Valentine's Card - Such a simple but so very beautiful and special idea, I fell in love with this one and had to create something like it for my husband.
