i'd like to make these with my girl scouts. do you think they are easy enough for 10-13 year olds? does anyone think they would sell at their hoiday fund raiser?

adorable. thanks to you, all of my nice blouses are going o be revamped with kooky fimo buttons!

Thanks sso much for all the tips! I think I've settled on a combination of Liquid detergent and Krylon flourescsent spary paint. I'll post pics when I finish.

I'm not sure where this should go so here i am!

I need to make costumes that glow under a blacklight. They will be all black body suits, with painted/sewn/etc.. decorations that glow. Think: glowing halloween skeleton. How can I apply the design? These will be used one time, so don't need to be especially durable, and need to be fairly cheap. Brighter colors are a plus. With a regular tempera paint work? Is there something that will work better? I'm at a loss here.

so cute! these are adorable. I love the guy's face in the second one. You can tell he thinks he's a awesome dancer.

thank you both so much.


lilfishyinbigblu- what is national portfolio day? how can i find out if they have it in my area. I mostly want good photos of my 3D pieces (and large paintings) because I'm going away for college. I want to have examples of my work, but don't want to travel with the actual pieces.(bad idea!) So maybe I don't need a formal portfolio...but I want to be able to put one together in the near future.

Here's raku things I made this year. You can click the thumbnails for a larger picture.
