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.

 I really like this website! She loves to make Art out of Junk...thus the name ArtJunk. I love art journals, and I love the idea of just using a plain old comp book. I have also been working on one of these using an unreadable book. Use what you have, re-use something, recycle...don't buy anything!! Save money and the environment at the same time!

Free Audio Books for Disabled People
franstuff
by franstuff  8-7-2008   
 This site is processing applications for Baen Books, for disabled people to have access to all of Baen's audio and ebook libraries for free. Apparently it is offered to people who have any type of disability which makes reading standard books difficult. This would include vision problems and physical limitations, as well as some learning challenges, such as dyslexia. They have you fill out a simple form, asking for your email address, snail address, phone number, type of disability and doctor's information. I am interested in this because I am the caregiver for a lady who recently lost one eye, and can't see much out of her other eye.

Herbal Horse Remedies
franstuff
by franstuff  8-4-2008   
 This page has an article about different herbal supplements and herbal remedies for horses. I am now particularly interested in this, as one of my best friends just gave my daughter and I an older horse. We will still be keeping it at her house for several months, just helping to pay the feed bill. Bunne is a 24 year old, absolutely SWEET, perfectly trained, quarter horse mare. Her only fault is she has some arthritis in one of her rear hooves. Therefore, I am looking into natural herbal remedies for horses. We are currently giving her Bute and MSM.

Memory Wire beaded Stitch Markers
franstuff
by franstuff  7-18-2008   
 Just when I thought I had found absolutely every kind of stitch marker there was, here is even yet another type of stttch marker. She made loopes at the end of the memory wire, but I think memory wire end caps would look more professional, and would be less likely to snag than a loop at the end. Not to mention that memory wire is hard to bend in the first place. You would want to use the size of memory wire intended for rings.

S hook stitch markers

 Even another idea! I know this is the type you need for crochet, but I am not sure how this would work for knitting....it seems they have to stay put somethow, and I don't see how these would stay on the needles... I am not an advanced enough knitter to have ever used stitch markers. Hey, if you use stitch markers, and have tried diffferent styles, let me know which ones you like best and why. Thanks! Fran

 These flexible coated wire stitch markers look like the way to go.... These you can see she crimped at the bottom with a flat crimp, which I think gives it a cool look. Including a row marker seems like a cool idea too.

 These are really simple and rustic. If you know how to solder, they would be fun and easy to make. If not, 10 bucks isn't too much for a dozen hand made stitch markers!
