Preserving Leaves by
ktty
I know I'm a bit late for the falling leaves season, but does anyone

leaves or other plant stuff?
I've been making Roses out of leaves (I just love the burgundys and
golds) and then spraying them with a soft, clear coat....

White Gel Pens by
The Translucent Amoebae
it seems to me that a few years ago;
when gel pens were a bit more faddish & 'exciting' than they are now,
places like waldomart and other craft friendly stores would happily
carry a comparatively large selection of gel pens...
now-- that is no longer true.
plus; my niece got me this huge box of...

project. Sheets can be as small as 4x6 inch and thin so that they can
be cut easily. They dont need to have much structural strength because

alcohol ink by
ath
I'd like to make alcohol ink as it's so expensive to buy. All the DIY "recipes"
I've seen require the use of 'rubbing alcohol'.... would that be surgical spirit
in the UK?
I've tried using surgical spirit but it doesn't seem to dissolve the dye
properly. Ideas anyone?
