The Art of Metal Embossing ~ Demo & Tools
At this years CHA we had the pleasure of meeting the talented mother and daughter duo of Magdelena Muldoon and Magdalena Barrena. These two talented women have brought the art of authentic Metal Embossing into the Craft and Hobby world, and now we are thrilled to share this art with you. In this demo based workshop, we will explain the tools and supplies needed for Traditional Metal Embossing, and how to use them. Most of the education is understanding what type of mark or shape each tool marks on the metal.

★ Paper Sculpture Techniques & Inspiration
Paper sculpture is the manipulation of paper to form a 3D image or structure. The techniques used are quite basic, with paper cutting, curving/shaping and folding being the main ones in use. You can also incorporate origami skills, embossing and other paper craft methods depending on the project.
Paper Starburst Pendant Light
So I had a different project that I was going to post today, an update version of my Book Pages Pendant Lantern from Project 19, but then I started working on this light idea, and I am so excited by the results I just couldn’t wait to show you guys! My inspiration and guide was this light from Design*Sponge, that I spotted on Pinterest. I really liked the idea, and I had a roll of white vellum lying around left over from college that I thought would look beautiful.
Templeton Sculpture Blog: Evolution of an art form
It is exciting to participate in the evolution of an art form. I happened on to wire portraits by chance, and have been exploring variations with the wire. For the Fund-Raiser against Child Abuse, my goal has been to capture a likeness with the fewest lines. Keeping the portrait simple. The next "step" has been to explore increasingly complex wire portraits.
YARN BRACELET DIY!
See the updated version of this project here! This was one of my favorite crafts to make because it is really relaxing just like knitting and crocheting! This is just like making one of those paracord bracelets, except with yarn. I got some neato small yarn just for making these!

Recycled Magazine Page Nesting Bowls
I love recycling crafts, and finally had a chance to try making some bowls from recycled magazine pages. It's really quite simple and even youngish kids can help fold the pages while those old enough to handle a glue gun can make these themselves. And there are really no steadfast rules, so you can use this technique to make many kinds of shapes. And though I hesitate to mentions Passover cleaning, since it's still Purim in Jerusalem today, I thought I'd introduce this craft before some of you toss all the old magazines into the recycling bin!
