Crafting and rejoicing because
- Jamming four toothpicks in a hole saved me from having to pay 15 bucks for a handle to fit a 10 cent part I picked up at a second hand shop.
- Instead of spending mega bucks on fancy potions I managed the same effect with patience, careful timing and a few squirts of ordinary household bleach.
- Melting down a few tea lights to mad hatter fashion hit the fabric have a practice go at it, has revealed, before spending more money on paraffin than I will ever need to last me a millennium – don’t buy that much, ever, the need is not that great, really!
- Sharpie pen experimentation test results reveal, though nobodies making any promises about my continued good health after exposing myself to the fumes, yes their colors will stay true and strong even after having been doused with bleach so no need to purchase pricy specialty markers.
- Researching the technique Clay suggested has exposed me to a lot of really, really beautiful art, taught me so much about all the many types of resist out there, exposed me to so many different things, cultures I might otherwise have not seen had I not decided to join the swap. I really feel like I’m benefitting because by participating in this project I'm learning so much and having so such much fun while doing it.
