A comment on Saturday’s post about my search for an apprenticeship on the East Coast sent me skipping to Apprenticementor.com, a non profit website where mentors and apprentices can find each other. The new venture was launched last week by apprentice Jennifer Kahn, and artist Celie Fago, a team for almost nine years.

jeffrey rudell’s papercuts don’t hurt a bit

Last month accomplished paper artist and CraftStylish contributor Jeffrey Rudell posted a how-to for this cut paper thank you note. I don’t think I’ll be trying it any time soon, but the process is fascinating, isn’t it?

Rudell’s work is extraordinary. I was convinced that the portrait below was a drawing. The closeup shots reveal that this finely detailed work is another of Rudell’s cut paper masterpieces. The portrait, 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, is carved from a single sheet of black paper. Wow. Ready to try it yourself?

Last October we looked at an artist who was recycling newspapers in an unusual way. Now greenUPGRADER shows you how to spin your own newspaper yarn with this tutorial. Cool.

remember my post a couple of months ago about cristalline’s salt beads? well, last week i received a lovely email from cristalline letting me know that she translated her tutorial for the beads into english. you can find it right here. i know gwen gibson pioneered the shaving cream and dye technique, but does anyone remember if she used salt on her beads? i don’t know…

many thanks to christalline for translating this great little tutorial.

simple really is sublime

a picture is worth a thousand words. and a few pictures? priceless.

paper punch + metal leaf + polymer clay bead = WoNdeRful technique! has this been done before? did i miss this in a book or an article? i love it!

sashetta wrote an informative post on polymerclayfimo. i just wish i knew what it said. because i can’t translate the post, i do not know if she mentions learning this from someone and so if i should be crediting anyone else in addition to sashetta, please let me know. use the pictures in the tutorial as a starting point. you can take this in several different directions.
