You check your profile - there's a button for it right under the search feature towards the top of the page.

Nope.  Not yet- thanks for the help!

Here, FINALLY, is the stuff I sent out to redheadgeek.  (I just got a cable modem, so it doesn't take me 6 hours to upload anymore... hooray!)

I made an earring frame thingy with hooks for necklaces and what have you:


I also made a couple of tins lined with faux white leopard fur (I had fun making these!):


I tried to make an address book, which would have been awesome since it was a binder and you could rearrange the pages, but it was really muggy the day I painted and the paint cracked something fierce.  The tape on the inside also stuck and tore the paper.    Oh well, live and learn.



Hope you like!

Wow! Those are awesome!

[humblestumble]

yea, I never would have though of an earring holder!

How did you make that gorgeous earring holder? That is genius!

1. Spraypaint a cheapo pic frame (it took me 2 coats).  Get rid of the backing - you won't need it.
2. Cut an old window screen to fit, and hot glue to the back (I got mine out of the dumpster from a window place - don't worry, it was unused and I sterilized it, I promise).
3. Glue the pic to something sturdy-ish (I used a manila folder), Xacto it, and hot glue to the frame.

I had the picture printed at Office Max so the quality was less pixelated (is that a word?) (it is now).

I was unexpectedly broke after I signed up for this swap (they just keep squeezing every last cent out of me for tuition!), so all of my projects were this, umm... "thrifty."  I had kind of a recycled theme going.
