 I couldn't much of the instructions, but there are very good, easy to understand, instructions to go with the pictures and few words I was able to clip. This is an absolutely WONDERFUL tutorial on bookmaking with signatures and hardbound, I have seen yet! Anyone can make their own book following these instructions!

Collage...interrupted Thoughts on Creativity
franstuff
by franstuff  12-12-2008   
 I LOVE this website! I have posted another page from her website on Art Journals. I clipped the pictures, and a few words, obviously I couldn't clip them all, and still have you be able to see it. I realize that sometimes creative people are just scattered, like I am. I also realize that every piece I make does NOT have to be "perfect" or mean anything at all to anyone but me. Collage is another way to express myself, journal, let feelings out....art therapy.

 Our foremother's had the right idea about recycling. For them it was a necessity due to finances and availability. For us, it is becoming a necessity because of our enviroment!

 Another great project from Unique Re-tiques... I really like this one. She gives instructions for using many different types of materials, so you don't have to go and buy anything...use what you have... You know...you could go ahead and make these into jewelry items....rings, pendants, buttons...

Another style of stitch marrker
franstuff
by franstuff  7-18-2008   
 Here's another way to make stitch markers. I am not sure which way is best. I am willing to bet every knitter has their favorite types for different reasons. They are also being made with no hardware at all, just "softflex" type wire, in a loop, with the beads. I haven't been able to figure out where they are crimping it from the set I saw. I am betting the bottom bead is a "crimp cover".

Stitch Markers for crochet too!
franstuff
by franstuff  7-18-2008   
 This set uses lever back earring findings instead of split rings, so that crocheters can use them. Which means if you have lever back earrings, you already have stitch markers! Alternately you can use lobster claw clasps.

Cool Knitting Stitch Markers.... Example, ideas, how to make them
franstuff
by franstuff  7-18-2008   
 These I found on etsy. If you're into knitting, and not into beading, lots of people sell these on etsy for reasonable prices, like 5 to 7 dollars for a few of them. If you wanted to make them yourself you just have to mosey on down to the craft store and pick yourself up some split rings, some head pins, and some cool beads. Even easier, you could just buy the split rings and hang forever single earrings, charms, old keys, or whatever else strikes your fancy, from the split rings. Buy the split rings in a size approppriate to the size knitting needle you use. Why use boring stitch markers? BTW...split rings are just like key rings, only smaller.
