back from the dead and
OPEN!!
I have a dog, and I'm fairly fuzzy, so pardon stray hairs...There shouldn't be as many now I'm in a cleaner house...I don’t smoke and there is no indoor smoking where I live.
For 2 points:NSWF altered puzzle - The ABCs of Iniquity - 25 vice-tainted pieces! I can send it assembled and sealed, or broken into pieces with order/directions on the back. See individual pieces here:
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=317152.0Joker needlework - approx 4x7”
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/75773_jokerxstitch.jpg“Heirloom” handspun art yarn - off-white roving spun with old artificial pearls, doll shoes, miniature tarnished safety pins, little scraps of antique lace, metal beads, a wooden spool, and an aged, off-white lace trim. It's only about 7 yds.
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/75773_101_6071.JPGFor 1 point:handmade mini-journals mystery pack - 4 (or maybe more?? that's part of the mystery! 
) different small softcover blank books, made from reclaimed/reused paper. Each a different size, each with different paper colors, and each with various imagery mixed in. At least 2 will be a sewn binding, and at least one will be a Japanese adhesive binding. I'll customize at least one just for you. All will be kinda silly and fun, not specimens of fine bookbinding prowess. Quilt top - vintage, hence not made by me. Twin-sized, would be perfect for a bunch of iron-on images, appliques, stenciling, writing with fabric markers, or embroidering in the solid-color blocks, eh?
bodice floss bobbins - inspired by both how_german and Phizzychick.
You'll get 12 bobbins, each one unique, on a small binder ring. Some that may be included:
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/75773_bodices.jpgcustom-made recon’d hardcover book from an old Readers Digest Condensed Book. The one shown is sold, but I have a variety of different cover colors and patterns, and I can do a variety of different bindings. Some of the cover designs I have:
They can be matched or mismatched if you prefer. The binding of the one shown is a Japanese album/flutterbook, which is an accordion binding with no open end. Here’s the closed book:
And here it is open:
custom-made recon blank book - the ones without photos generally have plain covers, and all can have the covers altered if you like. Choose from these hard-cover titles:
- "To The Wedding" (brown and black; good for a mini-scrapbook of wedding preparations, perhaps? or an envelope book for writing ideas and storing clippings of wedding inspirations?)
- "Unto A Good Land" (blue-grey, has a small train going across the front)
- "Madam, Will You Talk?" (yellow)
- "Rock & Roll Heaven" (red)
- A green book with no writing on it, but stamps of 3 pears are embedded on front
PM me to discuss in advance!
magnetic mail holder - hard plastic, altered surface. Rescued from its earlier life as an ugly early-80s Avon item with a bland cutesy neighborhood on the front. Now it's got a metallic goldish finish on the visible portions, and lots of embellishment (mail-related) all over the place. There is a small area partitioned inside for pens and such, and the whole thing has a depth of about 1.5 inches. It has magnets on the back so it can sit on the fridge, and it also has holes for nails if it would go better on your wall.
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/gold3.JPGhttp://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/altered090.jpgCustom cross-stitch and/or embroidery - I have a lot of thread and a lot of small fabric pieces, so I can do just about anything right now! As long as it isn’t too huge of a project, of course. Please contact me
before claiming to verify that it’s something I can finish within a week.
recon’d vintage children’s textbook to CD holder - can hold 28 CDs and several liner note booklets. Bright colors, retro children’s theme, has a notepad inside and free space for adding personal embellishments. Manu Chao not included.
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/100_10731.JPGJournaling prompts in a box - 50+ prompts for journaling, or words for random ATC theme inspiration. I have collected various styles of prompts and printed them all on cardstock, and will stuff as many as will fit into an Altoids tin or little wooden box (your choice), which will be decorated however you like.
crocheted kerchief beautifully made by farmgirljane. I absolutely love it but somehow the shape of my head and my copious large hair don't allow it to sit right when I'm wearing it.

For 1/2 a point: bright book with postcard pocket: This was an experiment; hence the bright wonky colors (wonky to me, maybe not wonky to you). Elastic loop on the inside for holding pens, and flip-up pocket for storing postcards or whatnot. Pages are a basic glue binding, with mixed paper and some random retro clipart.
Barbie pasties! Not pasties
for Barbie, pasties for you (or other recipient) with Barbie on them. Technicolor images of vintage Barbies from a 1960s craft magazine, decoupaged on cardstock base, backed with vinyl and sealed to discourage deterioration. Off-white and yellow lace trim on the outer edge, with a bow made from the lace on the bottom of each. Clear iridescent sequins dotted around the outer surface. No tassels on the end and no special emphasis on the nipples...Though, if you have some Barbie shoes, it would be awesome if you made tassels with those! I can't find any, myself.
set of 5 molded crayons from scrap-crayons - choose mixed color ones like these,
or I'll make you a set with the colors/variety of your choosing (craftydeb sent me pounds of crayons!)

handmade recycled paper pack - choose any of these for half a point, or take all 3 for one point. Papers are approx. 8x5.5". Would be great for linoprints or something similar. Made by another craftster (they were handed down to me by the original recipient), and very nicely done. Each pack is bound with a variety of coordinated novelty/art yarns, most of which are handspun (some by me, some by anonymous others). The one in the foreground has a cover, and I can remove it if you want, or add a cover to the others if you want it to be a book. Choose pink, blue or greys.
Supplies1 point2 blank 6x6 inch, stretched
canvasses, still wrapped in original packaging. I can also throw in another that has already been painted on, if you want to gesso over it.
half a pointcut and marked
quilt pieces for a double wedding ring pattern quilt. - A swap-meet find. Vintage fabric in various colors and prints, with the original templates in case you want to substitute some of the pieces with different fabric. I'm hand-washing all of it before sending.
approx
1 yd of Wonder Under with instructions. Several available.
vintage cake toppers - warning, includes 2 scary clowns! All the strange plastic goodies in the picture except the ruler.
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/oowyh126.jpg Flat-Rate envelope stuffed with paper/ephemera - this is a more manageable amount to receive, methinks.
vintage goodies, book pages, weird randomness, most images too big for ATCs. there will be embellishments, too, maybe some handspun yarn as well. Let me know your preferences and interests when claiming.
Quarter of a point:-
glossy blank punched cards - 16 sheets, heavy cardstock, about the size of a recipe card or large index card, bright white with a somewhat slick surface--not as glossy as a photo but has a sheen to it that makes it a perfect surface for rubber stamping and maybe alcohol inks. I got these second-hand but I'm pretty confident they were
made to be altered. Large hole in the corner for binding them all with a bunch of chunky yarns!
http://www.craftster.org/pictures/data/500/medium/75773_101_6051.JPGsandwich baggie full of dried
lavender buds (US only due to int'l shipping regulations)
old wooden spools of thread - I also have MANY wooden spools with no thread; if you would rather have some of those, please let me know.
Take some paper/ephemera for FREE with your purchase (please request specifically)– give me a theme and some likings and I’ll include some in the package
