thanks for the thoughts!  i'll definately post them, once i actually get around to making them.  too many projects on the go!

sorry if this is allready posted, i looked but couldn't find anything.  somehow i doubt it.  haha. 
i found a couple of little crab claws on the beach and i'm wanting to coat them and maybe turn them into earrings.  i'm not sure how to go about this.  resin?  varnish?  shellac?  will this even work?  i imagine i'd dip them until i got the thickness of coating that i wanted.  anyone have any thoughts?  thanks!

wow, what a great idea.  I would love to be involved as well!  Keep me posted!

Ya, those pedestrian Sundays were busy!  Did you just set up randomly on the sidewalk or did you have to go through the city, and pay for the spot?  When does that start?

count me in.  What kind of stuff do they usually have for sale?  Everything along the same line, or a bunch of totally random stuff?

ya, I thought of that, but there is no sun at all back there.  I guess there are plants that still grow in the shade.  The only problem with that is I'll have to wait a couple of years for it to fill out and I don't think I'll be living here that long!

My neighbors yard is full of garbage, so I'd like to cover my chain link fence so I can enjoy my yard this summer.  I was thinking either a bamboo type mat, or something to weave through the fence.  It's gotta be weatherproof and cheap.  Any ideas?

I would totally be interested.  as for venues, I know the church of craft had a rock and roll craft fair at the gladstone hotel, it was great!  St lawrence market would be good.  I'll think about it and get back to you.

i found a 7/8" hammer punch at a hardware store and it works awesome!  has anyone had problems with the pins breaking off?  I havn't been able to find e6000 so I used super glue and the ppins broke off!  has anyone tried epoxy?

that is the most f*#@ked up thing i've seen in a while.  I love it!
