I have an art question?

rihannafan asked:


I made a mini mug with a little tea bag hanging from it for my mom and decided I like working with clay, so I went to Hobby Lobby and got a pack that had 25 different colors of little sticks of clay. They aren’t that big, but there are a lot of different colors to use. What do you think I should make with it? I wanna make something that would be cool like the mug, cuz my mom really liked that. I really wanna make sure I make good use of it. Is there anything that would be similar to it? But whatever I make has to be little unless I use a few at a time.

Also, what are some crafts you think I would also enjoy doing besides working with clay? I already know I like painting, drawing, and making jewelry. And what are some tips on keeping the clay smooth? I really like making things and want to know what else I would enjoy. Also, please tell me what I would need and where I could get it from. 10 points for best answer! Thanks! :)

Why do people stereotype Goth/Gothic?

conchelinda asked:


I am a 39 year old Mom with a 13 year old daughter who is considered to be a “Goth/Baby Bat”. We live in a very small rural area. She herself does not ever claim to be a Goth,even though she is interested in many Gothic type things,mostly music,art,poetry and creating her own look. Yes,she does wear mostly black,and spiky jewelry,and that kind of thing. She does not get mad,she usually just ignores people who laugh and say dumb things. However,she is getting weary of people in the community-adults included,and extended Family asking if she is “Goth” or acting like she is going to eat their younger kids or worship the devil,etc. She is very aware that dressing and liking the things she does will bring such reaction from those who don’t understand. She would really appreciate any input from older Goths as to why people always have a tendency to think the worst just because of what she likes. I was Gothic myself in the late 80’s,early 90’s,but I need input from other people,young and old who enjoy these same types of things. Thanks!

Help with Finding a Book (see details)?

LelaniOfLily asked:


I`m regretting getting this book so much. I looked thru it at our local Borders and didn`t buy it and now I can`t even remember the title. It was in the art section under ‘crafts’ right next to some of the metal jewelry books and it was something like ‘weird trinkets’ or something. It had earrings with doll hands at the end, a jewelry box with an old drawn on duck, a baby doll head with the top cut off as a pin cushion, an eggshell painted gold with a gold beetle in it, a two headed deer. Just alot of weird things that you`d find in some small shop at the back of some alley. And the book showed you step by step how to make some of this stuff. Creepy cool stuff. Just wondering if anyone knows the book or maybe if that particular style of creepy cool trinkets has a title? Sort of victorian, old fashioned creepy.

What should I get my girlfriend of 5 months for her birthday?

flaviosalinas123 asked:


She’s turning 21 and has never been much of a drinker. She loves fairy art, and like most girls, enjoys jewelry. She’s been dropping hints awhile ago about a nice purse as well. So I’m still not sure.

help finding online borders?

Jes23 asked:


I am currently at work at a small art shop/jewelry store and I am doing computer work. We just got a new computer and I need to find borders online for some paint documents. If anyone could give me a good website for (free) borders, I would be extremely appreciative.

Thank you!

What is a good sewing machine for a beginner on a college budget?

EmeraldLillian asked:


I am a dabbler in the arts (so far I have made jewelry, drawn, painted, cooked, danced, sung, acted, and sculpted) and I would like to start getting into sewing and making clothing. I attempted to hand sew a couple of garments but ran into WAY too many problems. I go to college, but will be graduating in a year or so. I would like to start making the designs in my head, but I have no machine and don’t really know where to start looking for a good one. I have a couple of part time jobs right now so I figure I can afford to spend up to about $100. That’s about half of one paycheck for me. My parents are helping me pay for school. I know I would still have to buy patterns and other materials, but I really need the sewing machine to start out with. And if anyone has any advice as to patterns or easy materials to work with, it would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks for your help!

How to Get Started Making Silver and Gold Jewelry for Profit or Fun.

KDL Jewelry asked:


 

Jewelry making has long been an art form passed on from father to son, all the way back to ancient times; people have adorned themselves in Silver, Gold, and Gemstone Jewelry,

African tribes, the Native American Indian tribes and numerous ethnic tribes have used Bone carved pendants, Animal Ivory, Bird feathers and Seashells, to fashion accessories to use as jewelry.

Today we give our Jewelry titles ,such as Ethnic Jewelry ,Tribal Jewelry ,Antique Jewelry, Fashion Jewelry and so on .In this article we are going to Talk about Designer Hand made jewelry ,How to make it either for fun or for those really keen students how to do it and make money from your hobby .

Right lets get going .You have two options to start with, you can either buy raw silver from your local distributor, or find a Jewelry Manufacture that will supply you with the materials, there is a choice between 925 or 985 in the grade of silver you buy, I prefer to work in Fine silver 985, but you may find this a little difficult to buy. For the purpose of this article we are going to choose the second option and buy our material from a reputable Jewelry Manufacture and we are going to start with making a simple Sterling silver 925 pendant with a Turquoise cabochon Gemstone.

The majority of tools needed can be purchased form a good hardware store and some of the more hard to find items you will be able to get from either a Silver Jewelry Manufacture or Supplier.

Your heat source can be either a gas bottle with extension hose and flame adjusting nozzle or as we use in our workshop a petrol bellows and hose set with adjustable nozzle, its important witch ever set you buy that you can regulate the flame and heat .Next comes the hand tools you will need a small brass hammer, tweezers about 7inches long, small tin snips, brass block 4inches by 4inches and 1inch thick ,rags,2part epoxy, battery acid, fine grade file , a flexible shaft grinder and a ceramic base to heat your silver on ,here is a handy tip a house brick and unglazed roof tile work just great. That should be enough for you to get started.

Step1 is to cut a strip of silver slightly wider then the thickness of the turquoise and long enough to wrap around the diameter of the gemstone, and carefully cut it so as the 2 ends meet tightly around the gemstone.

Step2, take your solder and place a small amount of flux on the two joins, heat the silver strip till red, apply the solder carefully, and it’s joined. If you haven’t done any soldering before try a few practice runs first, you will be able to use that silver later on.

Step3, take your sterling silver band and place it on a flat piece of silver plate, check that the turquoise still fits, then as in step 2 apply flux and solder the band to the plate.

Step4, remove the excess silver with your tin snips and sand off any rough edges.

Step5,decide on a shape for your bail and cut it out of silver accordingly, bend into shape .now solder that to the pendant ,and while hot dip the whole pendant into a small jar of acid ,rinse in a jar of clear water and dry.

Step6, Place your turquoise into you silver and carefully trim away any surplus silver. Once your happy with the fit you can sand the silver again with fine grade emery paper, give a small amount of epoxy to the inside of the pendant and insert the turquoise stone .Now take a spoon and using the back work it around the pendant to give a snug fit with the silver and allow to dry.

Step7, Using your flexi grinder insert a polishing cloth disc, add some silver polish and buff the silver to the required finish.

The principles above are applied to all silver work; no it’s up to the imagination of the jewelry designer and skillfulness of the jeweler.

Save.or Sell?

keepontruckin asked:


I have a huge collection of Hercules and Xena items that includes props from the shows, original comic art, 8 complete sets of trading cards with all autographs (in custom binders)…All of the action figures from both shows, including prototypes of several figures, Autographed photos and plaques, a Gabrielle staff, 2 Xena swords with leather scabbords, Xena original chakram, Hercules sword, sterling silver jewelry, etc, etc, etc. This collection fills an entire room in my house, and I need to move it to a larger room. That is no problem, since I live in a big house.
My question is: Should I keep this collection as a
possible investment, or sell it? It would be sold as
a complete collection, not individual items.
Your opinions?
