Craft Tip for Crochet and Knitting

Namaste! I Love to Crochet and Knit. I used to get into a tough of war with my yarn, until my ball of yarn ended up looking like a pile of spaghetti. Here's a little Tip I came up with after a long meditation session and afterwards gathering together my recycling for the curb. Eureka! Instead of recycling those Paper Towel rolls and TP rolls put them to good use. Wrap your yarn around them. It will never get tangled or knotted again.

 

Art Lesson, Mixed Media Art

This project is for adults 18 yrs or older!

Supplies needed:
8" x 10" or 9" x 12" sheet of cardboard
enough aluminum foil to completely cover the cardboard
Black water based craft paint
other assorted colors of craft paint
paper towel
paint brush(s)
craft glue stick
rubber gloves

1st smash your aluminum foil into a ball. Then carefully unroll it...flattening it out...but leaving the wrinkles. Next completely cover the cardboard with your aluminum foil, and glue it into place. Now paint the aluminum foil completely black. Then using paper towels...rub off most of the black paint (while wearing your rubber gloves)....leaving the paint in the wrinkles and creases of the foil. Allow this to completely dry. The final step is to paint your masterpiece on top of the foil. Enjoy!

here's mine:

What are the odds...
Why is it everytime I have a craft project with glue on it...it just has to leap out of my hands, and make a break for the floor. Does it love to taunt me...screaming "Ohhh NOoo!" I lunge for the gaily fluttering glue boms. It was performing evasive maneuvers to keep away from my hand. Immelmams, hammerhead stalls, no-lift dives, its maneuvers in the time dilated state of panic would have made the Red Baron proud...it successfully evaded my suddenly clumsy paws and dove straight for the floor. DIVE DIVE DIVE...
Aaaa OooooGoh! Right onto the floor, where it lands with a sickening "splurp!" I tried to pry it up...and what do I see...big some big old HAIRBALL I swear materialized out of thin air...sitting there LAUGHING at me...
OHhhh HISSSSS!
