Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Friday, June 04, 2004Copper Tape
A Lot of your ideas call for copper tape but I cant find any in the craft shops in Portland, Oregon. Do you know of any place to order it from the web?
Thanks for your time, Angie Hello Kathy I'm a great fan of your website and love your projects, I'm also a member of Crafster, now I do have a question about your Soldered Window project, I find it hard to find the type of copper tape you are mentioning.  Is this copper tape flat or round?? is it more like wire or is it sticky, they don't seem to sell it in the UK. I just wanted to say I love your website, it gives me joy every day at work and makes me think that it's ok to make crafty things eventhought they might not come out the best the first time. Just wanted to thank you for this website, it's brilliant.
Regards Maria (in London) Hi Angie and Maria! I discovered that not all craft stores carry copper tape. HELL-o? That is as smart as applying varnish over wet paint! Soldering is one of the biggest guilty pleasures in crafting right now. Anyhoo, I've found copper tape at paper arts stores though. Your best bet is to look in your local yellow pages for a local stained glass shop. Copper tape is one of the main ingredients! In the meantime you can Google "stained glass supplies" to buy it online. I just did that and found this web site that sells it. Don't forget to try eBay too! I always score great craft supply deals on there! Good luck! CC

In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
