Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
A very long time ago! My old account was made i think in the early 2000's! I made a new account just recently. Which is the one being featured. I really like the site, and reading tutorials. My favourite part is making posts. I do hope to get some tutorials up and going. That feature makes things so much easier to do!
What projects are you currently working on?
Too many. But here's what's on my table(s).
-Finish up the stockings
-new garb
-finish skull projects
-finish pirate garb
-get some runsets and bind runes made
-make jewelry. A lot of it.
-create a portrait for my younger brother's music
-finish unfinished drawings
-carve some spoons and bowls
-and walking staffs...
And probably finish up what I started, first.

What does your craft space look like?
I have 3 spaces, actually. A shared worktable, my media station, and the "currently using" space that I took a photo of. Not gonna lie, I cleaned it just for you guys. I'm a messy artist.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
My seam ripper. Band-aides.
What do you craft along to?
Megamind on repeat. Or Krampus. My two favourite movies. I have an extensive library of all kinds of music, and I'll put that on random. Or I'll listen and watch course videos from The Black Raven Academy. But mostly it's just those two movies.
Chris's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
That's a difficult question. I make a lot of different things. Although, most of my crafts revolve around viking reenactment, now. I portray a traveler/tradesman and shaman. I have a lot of beads, wire, fabric, fibres, etc. I love making jewelry, and all sorts of sewing. I work with leather and wood, too. I am Asatru, so a lot of my work is heavily influenced by my faith.
Chris's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I've been wanting to make my own glass beads. But me and fire should not be inhabiting the same space. I'm barely allowed to light the wood stove unsupervised.
Who are your crafting heroes?
This is probably a cheesey answer...but people who create and are passionate in their field, and teach others...are my heroes. Inspiration is pulled from those people who create. I really appreciate their hard work and vision.
CiiMoore's Favorite Projects
The Pine Needle Basket by Alex Marie Abram, reminds me of how I was gifted a pine needle basket. These baskets always fascinate me, and so I chose this project for the memory as well as the project itself. It's very nicely made. Michelle @mybeads posted the Wired Swirl Statment Necklace tutorial...and I am actually in the process of making this! I saw this on pintrest a while back. I'll be sure to post my finished version! I'm so happy I found the creator. Emily B has a 3 tier chocolate cake. I think I gained ten pounds looking at it. It's gorgeous, and I want to rub my face in it.
And finally...
