Howdy boys and girls! I'm decoupaging some candles (you know, the ones that burn for about 24 hours and usually have Jesus on them?) I'm having a really hard time finding a sealant that I can use. Any suggestions? Sealant needs to be:

High-gloss
Non-yellowing
Heat resistant
Non-flammable (when dry)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A big box of patterns was gifted to me not to long ago, and I pulled out some of the adult patterns that I liked... But most of the patterns were for kids' clothes! As I don't have any munchkins myself, I thought I'd give them to someone who'd enjoy them.

Some of them are super cute, I've got a few Halloween patterns, and everything from babies and toddlers to kids sizes. I even have a few patterns for dolls! Seriously, some of these are really cute looking and I couldn't live with myself if I threw them away.

I live in South Austin, so give me a call if you're in the area!

Please give me a call!

I've been thinking it would be really cool to start a little crafting group that meets once weekly!

The members of the group would each take it in turns to host the group at their home, and the hosting member would make sure that everyone was informed of what the project they will be doing is and what materials are needed. Refreshments will be served, music will be played, and it's a great chance to meet some other craftsters and learn lots of new things to do and make!

Please let me know if you're interested. You can message me here or Facebook stalk me about it, my e-mail address is tattooedtriumph@gmail.com so you can find me with that. I will probably start it once I have about 5 or 6 people interested, so let me know!

I have an entertainment center from IKEA (heaven bless those people) that holds my stereo system. A few days ago I bought a record player and put it into one of the slots in my entertainment center. The only problem is that the shelves are a little close together so I had to take off the top of my record player to fit it in there, and it's a little awkward trying to slide the record in and get it on the peg.

I really want to have the top shelf slide out (kind of like a keyboard shelf on a desk), but I'm worried about how I would go about doing that because of the way IKEA makes their furniture. I don't want to split my entertainment center or anything. Does anyone have an suggestions?

  I'm such a nerd.



The words are backward because I used a mirror to take the picture. I got the idea from my friend Meagan and also heard of it from a guy that I know here locally. Very cool.

Tell me what you guys think!

I bought a stool for my computer at the unfinished furniture store, painted it green, put a layer of yellow ocre on it and painted a replica of the Warhol daisy. Wanna see? Lookie!

The polyurethane made it look all shiny when I used a flash, so the picture is dark. I also painted these old letters I have had since I was a kid. Look again!

Hey guys! I painted some jeans! Lemme know what you think.



I used acrylic paint, then soaked a rag in vinegar, placed in over the painted areas and then ironed over it to set the color. If you'd like to see more, go to www.myspace.com/idigyourkicks.

I want to buy a new computer chair and decorate it to match my desk, maybe find a cute pillow to put on it so it's nice and comfy... I can hand-sew but I'm not so hot with a sewing machine so I'm not sure if I want to hand-sew a pillow or just buy one, but what kind of chair would you guys suggest I get? I would probably want to paint it, but I want as cheap as possible. Thanks guys! -Danni

So I painted my boyfriend's Etnies for Warped Tour. Let me know what you think!

.:Left Shoe:.

Sides:

The roman number at the side is his lucky number, 18, and the words along the seam are "I met a man who wasn't there", a line from a poem in the movie Identity.

The words along the seam on this side read "Revenge is a meal best served cold."

Front:

Texas flag Etnies E!  That's my favorite part.

Back:

It's a little blurry, but it's a clover with flames around it.

.:Right Shoe:.

Sides:

The picture on the back corner of the shoe says "Life" and "Death" with a flying hourglass in between the two, meaning "Time flies between life and death."

The back corner is a Texas Longhorn, but I'm not so sure it looks good.

Front:

Irish flag Etnies E. 

Back:

That's a dragon on the back, it's blurry though...

There you go! Tell me what you think!

I stenciled this tee not long ago... I saw the stencil on here and put together one of my own... If you did this craft and posted it here, I'm sorry, I'm not stealing, I just forgot to bookmark you. Tell me what you think, guys...




Love ya! Danni
