POPSCollage...interrupted Thoughts on Creativity I LOVE this website! I have posted another page from her website on Art Journals. I clipped the pictures, and a few words, obviously I couldn't clip them all, and still have you be able to see it. I realize that sometimes creative people are just scattered, like I am. I also realize that every piece I make does NOT have to be "perfect" or mean anything at all to anyone but me. Collage is another way to express myself, journal, let feelings out....art therapy.

POPSArt Journal Tutorial Cool & Easy I really like this website! She loves to make Art out of Junk...thus the name ArtJunk. I love art journals, and I love the idea of just using a plain old comp book. I have also been working on one of these using an unreadable book. Use what you have, re-use something, recycle...don't buy anything!! Save money and the environment at the same time!

POPSHow To Make Vintage Photo Refrigerator Magnets Another great project from Unique Re-tiques... I really like this one. She gives instructions for using many different types of materials, so you don't have to go and buy anything...use what you have... You know...you could go ahead and make these into jewelry items....rings, pendants, buttons...

POPSRecycled Styrofoam Jewelry Hanger This is a really cool idea! I am going to make at least three of them, one for my room, one for Donna's room, one for each bathroom, and one for Cassidy & Donna's rooms. I guess that's more than three...grin Seems easy to make, easy to hang and easy to use!!

POPSMemory Wire beaded Stitch Markers Just when I thought I had found absolutely every kind of stitch marker there was, here is even yet another type of stttch marker. She made loopes at the end of the memory wire, but I think memory wire end caps would look more professional, and would be less likely to snag than a loop at the end. Not to mention that memory wire is hard to bend in the first place. You would want to use the size of memory wire intended for rings.

POPSS hook stitch markers Even another idea! I know this is the type you need for crochet, but I am not sure how this would work for knitting....it seems they have to stay put somethow, and I don't see how these would stay on the needles... I am not an advanced enough knitter to have ever used stitch markers. Hey, if you use stitch markers, and have tried diffferent styles, let me know which ones you like best and why. Thanks! Fran

POPSYet even more stitch markers These flexible coated wire stitch markers look like the way to go.... These you can see she crimped at the bottom with a flat crimp, which I think gives it a cool look. Including a row marker seems like a cool idea too.

POPSCutest stitch markers EVER These are just ADORABLE!! Again, on etsy. Very talented artist! Who wouldn't love these! Ok, I'll admit it, I am obsessed with stitch markers tonight! I think I am going to start making them as gifts for my knitting friends and perhaps to sell.

POPSMaking your own round end copper head pins I am interested in working with metal and the torch. I haven't started up my set up yet...but I am collecting information. If you are interesting in learing how to make jewelry, doing wirework or soldering, watch my clips as I collect information to learn myself.

POPSAnother style of stitch marrker Here's another way to make stitch markers. I am not sure which way is best. I am willing to bet every knitter has their favorite types for different reasons. They are also being made with no hardware at all, just "softflex" type wire, in a loop, with the beads. I haven't been able to figure out where they are crimping it from the set I saw. I am betting the bottom bead is a "crimp cover".

POPSStitch Markers for crochet too! This set uses lever back earring findings instead of split rings, so that crocheters can use them. Which means if you have lever back earrings, you already have stitch markers! Alternately you can use lobster claw clasps.

POPSCool Knitting Stitch Markers.... Example, ideas, how to make them These I found on etsy. If you're into knitting, and not into beading, lots of people sell these on etsy for reasonable prices, like 5 to 7 dollars for a few of them. If you wanted to make them yourself you just have to mosey on down to the craft store and pick yourself up some split rings, some head pins, and some cool beads. Even easier, you could just buy the split rings and hang forever single earrings, charms, old keys, or whatever else strikes your fancy, from the split rings. Buy the split rings in a size approppriate to the size knitting needle you use. Why use boring stitch markers? BTW...split rings are just like key rings, only smaller.
