Sadly, yes. "Stick this stencil on, wear these gloves, and don't get any on you" was easier to convey than "be careful with this tool, don't point it near any vital organs, and please don't break this."

little known fact...you can totally put a high speed, diamond and carbon-steel engavers point to your finger without damage..just DO NOT put it anywhere near a finger nail!

...did I mention that I started a Craft Club with some of my friends? We basically get drunk and craft and do something different each month. We worked with that glass etching cream this month. The entire label was a warning about how it'll eat our hands off. AWESOME.

I used to go to UFOs, un-finished objects. There wasn't usually alcohol, though, so I envy that.

Ooh. UFO. Good term. I have TONS of UFOs hanging around my house...

I recently made some of these, just because they're fucking ridiculous. Who needs these? Nobody.

At April's meeting, we'll be making these:

I couldn't figure out what to get my friend for her birthday, so among a few other small things. I did this

I need some advice about stretch velvet and google isn't being entirely helpful. I know it sags a lot in cloaks etc, but if the bit challenging gravity is only 13cm long and the velvet isn't that heavy, do you think it will be problematic?

Not an expert, but I think it will probably be ok.
