What media do you work with?
I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and value collaborative efforts. In my spare time (hahaha) I work with every material that's not securely nailed to the floor.

    I had a few typos in the title -- & corrected them -- they showed up as corrected on the full listing - but not on my page event listing...

  • The Justified Sinner

    I certainly did! They are just fantastic. It is so delightful that someone bothered to be so creative, so thoughtful and so very, very modest. 

    Needless to say, my favourite is the one cut from Confessions of a Justified Sinner!

  • Jane Dzisiewski

    Thank you Brigette. That all sounds very sensible to me.

  • Sandra Murray

    Hi Brigitte, Thank you for your kind message! I will send a message to the  ACJ and see how they feel. Best wishes, Sandra.

  • Jenne Giles

    Thank you, Brigitte :-)

    I am so glad you are enjoying the Felt Fashion Book!  It is music to my ears that you are finding some elusive "free time" for felting ;-))

    Wishing you happy creativity and sudsy, good fun!

    I've never really had a hobby, unless you count art, which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn't made money with it.

    Brigitte, where can I buy your happy CD?

  • Brigitte Martin

    The music on this page is by Darlene and Jonathan Edwards who concern themselves mainly with spoofing other people's music. They are hi.la.ri.ous. I just could not resist putting this up.

    Here is a cover from one of their cd.s in case anyone is interested. You can get this on Amazon.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Darlene is viewed as a pioneer of modern musical parody, having won a Grammy for BEST COMEDY ALBUM in 1961.

  • Aimee A. Domash

    I was looking for an android app for crafthaus.  I didn't know if there is one and I was just over looking it.  That's all.  I don't really know who develops these apps...I'm sure they are a ton of work.

    Thanks

    Hi Brigitte,

    I've just attempted my first post on Crafthaus. The date has come up wrong, despite repeated attempts to edit it. It should read 19 Nov 2011.

    Anything you can do about this?

    Cheers,

    Hi Brigitte,

    Just uploaded four images of the two pieces from Art Jewelry 3. Two are still awaiting approval (what did I do wrong uploading them????). But I neglected to enter descriptions for those two. Any way I can still do that?

  • Ryder Richards

    Brigitte, 

    Thanks for the messages. Since I am new I have uploaded 7 or 8 images. Take a look and let me know what you think. I, of course, have plenty of images, but I hope to tailor the images to things that will be beneficial for craft haus.

  • Deborah Lozier

    5 minutes of fame with your family! I bet it lasted longer than that. But you are truly welcome back as a house guest if they need a refresher. We should hunt for a speaking opportunity around the Bay. -deb

    Hi Brigitte,  I am finally uploading images to my page but I have already made a mistake. I would like to delete "24 Power Position" because it is a duplicate.  How do I do that?  How can I delete images from my photos in the future?  Thanks, Mary
