Ehow.com Craft Videos

About 2 months ago I was approached by EHOW.com to create a series of craft videos. I'm happy to say they have gone live. You can now learn "how to poke a hole in an egg" to "how to tie a no-sew tutu" I know, exciting stuff.

You can view them here. 

No Sew Tutu

A Moose Spotted in Central Park

I needle felted this little guy last year and took some pix of him in the park. He stands about 4 inches tall and I sculpted his antlers out of clay.

I'm in the process of felting a custom bride & groom squirrel wedding topper. Will post when I complete it.

Pipe and Rustic Wood Bookshelf

I wanted a unique shelving unit for my living room. Something rustic and industrial-like. But, I didn't want to spend the kind of money they were asking for. So Gene and I decided to design and build it ourselves. Below are some pix of the process

 

Laying out the pipe in Lowe's

Couldn't find these in black so we spray painted them

 

Gene happen to have 2 beautiful, long pieces of wood that we cut in half

4 pcs of wood ready to be sanded and sanded and sanded...

Staining the wood. In retrospect, we wish we used something ligher...oh well
