This week in the CRAFT Flickr pool, we saw: Push it Through Duster, by Oh, Diane, from Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, Zuccko:Atelier+Boroetz’s 2011 year dragon, by borometz, and trust, by crafty_dame, with a blog post!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the maker moms everywhere (and that would be ALL of them). Here, mom made you a delicious algae smoothie. What doesn’t say love like a tall glass of cyanobacteria?
I hope you’re enjoying the day, whether you are a Mom, or you’re celebrating your own Mom, or both. I thought I’d share this photo of my Mom, from 1965. She’s wearing a suit she made in her college tailoring class – an Evan Picone design for Vogue patterns. (Oh, those amazing giant covered buttons!) […]
I think this “Let’s Make Stuff” box with colorfully painted woodcut letters by Scott Albrecht would look perfect on my workshop wall. [via FFFFOUND!]
Our own Rachel Hobson tipped me off to this great post from The Long Thread on how to make napkin flowers for a wedding setting. I’m going to two weddings today (one down, one to go!) – hopefully the decorations will be as cute as this!
Laurie Wisbrun of Scarlet Fig stitched up this fun portable cushion with her Pooches and Pickups fabric, following a pattern from Sew, Mama, Sew! It’s a perfect project to kick off the summer, and would be great for picnics and summer sports events.
This attachment mounts in place of your router’s factory baseplate and is used for cutting circular disks from, or boring circular holes in, sheet stock. It pivots about a small pin rotating in a blind hole drilled in the center of the stock to be cut. This one is based on a design from Bill Hylton’s excellent book “Router Magic.”
