Issue 23 Winter 2010
With the holidays coming, I am always looking for ways to give homemade or make homemade. Well, this issue is JAM-PACKED with both! As our cover shows, we have a cool cold-connection project for you—get out the hammers and anvil and start banging away! Save money using found items and recycle old jewelry for fun.
Meet the O’Neil Sisters—our flea market queens for this and the next three issues! You will have a blast making a purse from an antique book.
Now, let’s talk SHOES! Oh yeah, and not just shoes, but boots as well. Dress up those black patent leather heels, romantic pumps, hot fashion boots, and more! Check out all the great ideas.
For all you seed beaders out there, we have a few pieces that will melt your holiday hearts. Tatiana Van Iten brings us the perfect Holiday bracelet, and Elizabeth Pullan shows us how decadent freeform work can be—great projects for those cold winter days.
What fun would winter be without great winter home décor? Create a sentimental garland piece, a stunning metal clay tassel, and a whimsical bottle for your bookshelf or baker’s rack.
