Really nice picture! I love how light on the cds seems to come from behind them (does it?). And the black on the other side of the shelf (or table) gives the picture a really interesting look!

Thanks so much, MareMare! And lolaforpresident!

That's so cool! Wish I could make something like that, but I've never even got close to working with wood!

My first posted project! A paper mache tree.

I know it isn't as great as the projects on here, but I'm proud of it anyway!


The trunk was made by taping together 2 toilet paper rolls then paper mache-ing them. The roots are rolled-up paper towels that were glued to the trunk then paper mache'd.


The top is crumpled paper towels that were taped together then paper mache'd.

 Then I paper mache'd the two parts with different colors, painted them (I used the colored paper because I only had watercolors and they would'nt paint well), covered them in a glue gloss & stuck them together.
(close-up!)

Thanks for looking! (I'm not sure if the pics came through or not. They don't appear in the preview, but I have more than 10 posts )

It would be so cool to do that! But does anyone know if it's necessary to use Red Heart or just those specific color? I'm not sure if they sell it near me.

That's AMAZING! I truly admire people in needlework. Around 5 months ago, I tried my hand at stitchery. The half finished hoop still sits at the bottom of my closet.

AWWWWWWwwwwwwwww!!!!  I was hoping for early partners!!!!

Just started reading Feast for Crows - really wish I could reach the first three books so I could read them again first - damned renovations (but at least DH is painting today - so much closer to the end of this stage now!!!).

I would love to join! But I've only read half of the book and I assume it's somewhat different from the show. And the craft stores have been mostly closed lately. And I'm a bit too young to swap. But I will be stalking!

Found all 3! At first I thought they all said the same thing, but after a little squinting and head-twisting... It's amazing how you did that!

I've never heard of squigglies, either, but love the idea of using them to make letters! And such cute babies they're going to!
