Hi Everyone.  We are a group of senior crafters who work together on projects we sell, and we donate our income.  Someone in our group would like to make hanging (like a mobile) large birds made out of recycled plastic soda bottles.  We are stumped on what kind of paint to use.  We want to make sure that we sell a quality product, so we are having problems applying paint to the plastic and having it maintain its color and also not chip or smudge.  Can you help?  Thanks and ciao!

I recently read (I can't recall where) that someone was making (knitting, crocheting???) IV mitts.  I often do preemie hats, chemo caps, etc., and thought I would like to add IV mitts.  I have not been successful on Craftster or Google, so I'm asking for some help.  I am also a crocheter (not as good as knitting) so a pretty simple pattern would be great.  Thanks for your help.

Sorry, maybe I should not have abbreviated (intravenous) IV.  Hopefully this will bring a knitting or crochet pattern.  Thanks.

I have recently learned how to make flowers using fish scales and would love to make rings.  However, I don't know where to purchase ring findings.  I have checked the local Jo Anne Fabric, Michael's and ACMoore, but have had no success.  Since I am experimenting, I really don't want to purchase a large quantity.  I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks and ciao!
