We head to Province of Cuneo in Italy to meet Juliet, a crafty student who loves making things from old and new materials.
Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I found it thanks to this project, Ponyfalls Wool Dreads. I was looking for Diys (I've been a huge fan of it since I was able to hold paper and scissors in my hand) and than Google directed me on that project. I immediately fell in love with the website..and decided to share my creations and experiences.
What projects are you currently working on?
Some paper dolls, a good recipe for homemade clay, the project for a collapsible hoop, and a fashion scrapbooked journal.

What does your craft space look like?
I craft on a desk in my bedroom, the same on which I study. For this reason I have to be able to free the space when necessary: I hold my thing in boxes and I "unbox" them when necessary.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
The simpliest ones: scissors, paper, pva glue, beads, wire and... UH! I can't forget my pliers! Number one tool.
What do you craft along to?
I usually listen to Emilie Autumn, Metallica, Nightwish, Within Temptation, metal and rock in general when I craft. And Lana Del Rey. I don't watch things because I find them distracting.

Favorite Craft
I love papercrafts (I have a thing with paper dolls) and I enjoy jewellery making, as well as sculpting with clay. But sometimes I try sewing and painting.

If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I would be happy if I learnt how to sew properly... and forge metals too :)
Who are your crafting heroes?
How many can I choose? One it's obviously Cat Morley ;) Then the amazing Martha Stewart (is there something she's not able to make?). I love http://matterofstyle.blogspot.it/, Hanna and Elle from http://www.pearlsandscissors.com/, Mandy from http://www.fabricpaperglue.com/, Lisa from http://makemylemonade.com/, and Erica from psimadethis.com
Juliet J.'s Favorite Projects
It's hard to choose only three projects! Well...let's see. The first is the ear cuff I made a lot of these: cheap, quick and effective. I love it. The second is the corset. It's the first difficult project I completes. I hand sew mine...such a labour but totally worth the effort. And then the 5 minute chocolate mug cake. Aww that's so good and quick.
And finally...
