Hi, my name is Jenna, or CrazyMuggleGirl, and I'm 17 years old. I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to creating things. xD Since the economy is pretty much at a standstill right now and getting a job isn't that easy when you're in my age group, I've decided to start making and selling colorful headbands for your hair. I've only made a few so far, but they're pretty easy and fun to create and they're available to anyone in the United States. I DO NOT take requests for specific items to be used on the headbands yet. The main tools I'm using include colorful ribbons, buttons, charms, and a hot glue gun to ensure stability. If you want to pay an extra $1 USD I will gladly include a special "surprise" item to be placed on your headband. This item can range anywhere from being a really pretty button, a miniature figurine, a special charm, etc. It all depends on what I think you'll like. How will I know what you'll like? All you have to do is send me a PM telling me the following:
Your favorite colors: (Please choose a maximum of FIVE!)
Your hobbies: (This can be anything...Cooking, Horseback riding, Dancing, etc. Please keep it to a limit of FIVE hobbies!)
Are you paying an extra $1 USD to get a surprise item on your headband? (Yes or no):
Your street address and zipcode (if applicable) where I can send the headband once I've received your full payment of $8 (USD only please, and Shipping & Handling IS INCLUDED IN PRICE!) (Information will remain completely confidential):
Anything else you think I need to know:

3nodding Hi! My pen name is Codename Sailor Earth, and my favorite craft is doll making.
In my spare time, I like to buy scraps of felt from craft stores, cut out different body shapes, and then sew them together. I then attach the body parts with thread and buttons, and I either sew on eyes, or glue on smooth gems for that anime look. When I get a new camera, I'll start posting pictures of them. redface I mostly make Sailormoon dolls, but sometimes I make Inuyasha or Dragonball Z dolls for my mom.
For 3D eyes, I'll cut multiple shapes from at least three different colors, and then with each layer I sew onto the doll, I stuff cotton in between, just like when you stuff the arms. I keep this up until I get to the white gleam above the pupil. This is great for Sonic the Hedgehog dolls! 4laugh
I make rag dolls too! Those are fun. whee

 rawr!hello! I'm Rin, but I also go by Nor around these parts. I live in San Francisco, CA, and I am not afraid to share that because no one is ever going to find one Rin in such a large city. we are legion. xD as you may have noticed, I don't capitalize the first word of every sentence. I capitalize proper nouns, but stylistically speaking, I find this capitalization structure much more attractive, and it conveys my tone much more effectively. if it really irritates you personally, then whenever I address you I'll amend it, but it's honestly not laziness or lack of intelligence, but a need to express my self in the most effective manner. sweatdrop my sister got me into crafts when I was little, and I for a long time I've rarely sat down and planned a crafty affair to spend time on... I just work it into everyday life. I am excellent at coming up with original or utilitarian concepts, i.e. knowing how to make into reality something that is seemingly impossible, and coming up with unique ideas that impress people. I have worked professionally in graphic design as a designer/printer, and nowadays I sadly don't even draw much. my weakness always has been and always will be follow-through. I rarely set my mind to something for a very long time, so I try to make sure I can manage my time in a way to start and finish a project quickly before my ADD kicks in. for this reason, I seem extremely organized to outside eyes when it comes to crafts, but I'm really, really not. ^^; lately I've been working on several different ideas and drawing up plans for how they could be executed. I will redraw them on Photoshop soon and link here for everyone. in the meantime, here is my DA. biggrin no crafty work on there right now I don'na think, except for an abstract socio-political 'found' sculpture. we used 'found' materials, and the sculpture was approximately 7-8 feet tall, and was destroyed by police the next day as graffiti and destruction of property (which I don't believe in, and would not have participated in). anyhow, I'm not even sure I still have it up on DA for that reason. :/ anywhoo... I'm quite the newblet, so I'll be asking for a lot of pointers for various things over time! please welcome me! sweatdrop
I'm a dino. |

Hello, I'm new~ :3(Durhh. xD)
Well, I'm Jackie. People online call me.. Jackie, but sometimes I go by the name Mel. I'm only 13 years old but I love being involved in all sorts of art. I live in New Jersey, but my hometown is Seattle, Washington. I'm Korean, too. smile I'm currently not going to any art school or anything, but I'm teaching myself how to draw anime and real life things, and teaching myself how to use photoshop. I'm also improving my skills in photography by myself.
The reason I got instrested in crafting is because this year I went to middle school and I took Home Ec and Art. In Home Ec, my teacher taught us how to sew and in art we sculpted with this weird clay-material which I forgot the name of. xDD Then, when the semester ended for Home Ec and Art, I wanted to do those activities again on my own time. My mom is now teaching me how to sew, and I'm teaching myself how to work with clay and such. xD I'm REALLY bad right now in my own opinion, but I'm pretty sure I'll get better.
Well, I just started crafting a few months ago-- so I wasn't doing it for long. :3 And because of that reason, I have no art to show right now.. But I promise to show everyone soon. :3
If anyone is intrested to see art of mine besides crafts, then my deviantart is in my signature~ And the art on it are mostly doodles, so don't laugh~ xD
Now, something besides my art life. xD
I'm a really hyper and happy girl. I'm jumpy and very random and violent when I'm angry. Whenever I don't get what I want, I kind of become randomly emo and put my bangs in front of my eyes. I'm not spoiled though, I mean, I'm like that in a joking way for my friends. xD I'm a tomboy, but not all that much as I used to be. But I still take pride in my tomboyish ways. I love anime and manga, photography, and crafts, durh~ I love making stories and writing my own songs. I also enjoy to sing and I'm pretty good at it too! I have a bear named Vanilla, haha. xD I usually don't go on gaia as much as I used too, but I do go on every now and then. What I'm really addicted to now is Deviantart, MapleStory, Audition, Mabinogi, and CounterStrike! I'm also more involved with going outside and hanging with my buddies. I love to skateboard too. I really like shopping for anything.. Toys, clothes, games, anything! xD Well, I'd write more but then if I did that I'd pretty much take up a whole page. So I'm gonna stooop~

Hallu!
I'm Sarah. Aka Rah-Sah. On here, you can call me anything from Crumpie to ABC [All 'bout Crumpets, because my friend got lazy].
I'm eighteen, and hail from Australia, the great land of Down Under. I live on the east coast, about three hours north of Sydney.
Craft, I've been in to since my hands could dibble in paint.
I made my first plushie when I was four, and it was a rabbit. And by rabbit, I mean it was a triangle with a face on it. But I was very proud of it.
I don't know what got me into craft. It was probably my Mum, because I was homeschooled for primary school [years k - 6], and it was something she didn't really have to supervise me on.
I haven't been able to tear myself away ever since, and sometimes it annoys my family when I have my crap scattered all over the dining table and three other rooms.
My Nan on my Dad's side has been doing ceramic painting [dolls, clocks, plates, etc] since I can remember, as well as a lot of knit and crochet work. One of my Uncles is a professional landscape and portrait photographer, and I cower at the amazing work he's done.
I began working with 3D art when I was fairly young. I have a photo of a plastecine scene that I made when I was five, of a Koala's loungeroom. It was complete with coffee table, mug of tea [with teabag!], rug, armchair, TV unit, and my lovely koala which was wearing green shorts and pink socks.
On and off I've been sculpting since then, but haven't really settled down to get ace at it. My older brother [by eight years] has encouraged me the whole way. He bought me the huuugest range of sculpting tools [I think there's about fifty in there], and half of them I don't even know what to use for. He buys me modelling clays and Fimo and paints and glazes whenever he feels like it. Which is awesome. He lives three hours away, so every now and again he comes home with a bag of goodies for me.
And he always commissions me for work. He buys me the materials, and then pays me for the outcome. Lovely brother!
My Strengths:
-My diversity in what I like to think I'm good at. I range from charcoal drawings to sculpture/modelling to masks to sewing to plushies to costumes to metal-work to wood-work to invisible artworks that are so amazing nobody believes I made them. [Mainly because they never see them..]
-Sewing. I'm studying Fashion Design at college. I like to think I'm good. It's definitely a passion.
-My flair. I can create something from nothing, most of the time.
My Weaknesses:
-I'm a CHRONIC procrastinator. Like you would never believe. It once took me six months to make a costume for Columbia [Rocky Horror Picture Show], and my sister is still waiting for her commission of three charcoal drawings from August last year.
-I get over-inspired, and end up with too many ideas. This means I might have eight or nine projects running at once.
At the moment, I have no links to share. I have a Deviant Art profile, but at the moment all that's on there is a short story / prose that I wrote a good year ago. You'll start seeing more of my stuff as I start to get a handle on my college course and start getting more free time to create. |
