I miss Minearverse. Anyone doing any interesting crafts?

This makes me want to try making amigurumi I can make tiny ninjas and vampires for my nieces.

I want to sew a duro dress. I just have to make time to do it.

Ooh. That reminds me. Kat, can one decoupage for outdoor use? I have these plastic recycling bins that are a) really unsightly and b) primary colors, which is really out of place in our desert landscape. I want to paint or cover them somehow, and I started thinking maybe I could decoupage. But they'd need to be weather and windproof. Could that happen?

I think you could. The glue serves as a seal. But if you didn't use glue and you use a watered down shellac, then most certainly.

Liese, I have friends who have decoupaged outdoor tables. I think maybe they sprayed on a sealant, perhaps shellac, and they're doing fine. The tables were wood, tho.

That sounds like an excellent idea and shellac would make the surface durable. (Show pictures!)
I'm working on finishing projects I started over the winter: I still have that crochet sampler afghan to finish, the lace shawl I started so long ago I'm not sure when, a vest I started last month (but need another set of needles to continue working on) and a pair of socks that I started eons ago. I've been working on the socks this week. I have 11 more rounds on the leg. (It's lace AND cables and I feel crazy for attempting it.)

Krylon's paint for plastic is wonderful stuff. I'd think for decoupage that using the Krylon paint or at least starting with the primer for plastic would work. I've used it to turn large, cheap, orange plastic pots from Big Lots into gunmetal-colored pots that are much less hard on the eye and to spiff up some faded plastic shelves I was using outside for plants.
