Hi Kathy,
First, I love your site, it provides me great inspiration for all things good and crafty! My question is this, I live in Pittsburgh, and our local brewery just teamed up with Alcoa to make these amazing new "bottles." They look just like regular beer bottles but are made of sturdy aluminum. I love them and would love to make some kind of awesome craft out of them. The problem is this, all the writing and logos seem to be FUSED on the bottles. Nothing is getting it off. I thought about making a funky wreath with them, but past that, I'm brain dead! I'd appreciate any sort of ideas! Oh and if you want to see the bottles, this is what they look like: http://www.pittsburghbrewingco.com/images/main/new_iron_city.jpg Thanks so much! Leigh Hello lovely Leigh! I'm going to give you a tip on a project I'm currently working on that will work PERFECT for this. Buy this stuff called Terrifically Tacky Tape, it's double sided super strong tape. It comes in different sizes and rolls. You can cover the area with the logo and then embellish it with colored yarn, pretty thread or micro beads or - gasp - glitter! Spell out words or put a simple image. Or you can cover the whole dang bottle and use it as a vase for a rose or poinsettia. Hope this helps!! Kathy :-) ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com

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!
