Image Transfers on Bottlecaps

My daughter, Michelle, made these Image Transfer bottle caps using our new ITS paper and toner based images. I especially like the black and white images created using our home B&W Laser Printer. Notice that the text she printed is backwards on one of the bottlecaps. This is why you need to reverse images with text before transferring. She thinks it's cool anyways, you can always hold it up to a mirror to read the (secret) message. We are going to try layering another image on the blue patterned cap at the lower right. (I will post layered techniques in a future post). ITS also works well as a varnish to finish the surface and to protect the images.

Easy Macrame Bracelets

With the holidays approaching, it's time to think about handmade gifts. Here are a few macrame bracelets that are fun and easy to make. You can find the full instructions along with other great projects in my book, Beaded Macrame Jewelry. The bracelets are made using C-Lon cord which is available in a variety of colors (this cord works especially well for macrame jewelry).

Rachel, Michelle and Andrew have been working hard to update our website with exciting new products to offer. We have brand new resin molds, sparkling pigment powders and a new transfer paper complete with images designed specifically for use with our Image Transfer Solution. This paper allows you to transfer images without the need to sand the paper away- Yeah!!. You simply rinse it away to reveal beautiful transfers on metal or polymer clay. We also have a "Bubble Ring" kit perfect for kids or the young at heart. All of the new items should be available within a week or so of this post. Happy Crafting!
