PODCAST ON CRAFT: Magazine

September 20th, 2008 by Peggy

We love CRAFT: Magazine!  We love it for its hip edge and for its incredibly easy yet detailed instructions for lots of different types of projects for all the DIYers and crafters out there.  If you have not ever read CRAFT: you can get it at Barnes and Noble Booksellers, most craft and hobby stores, or in your mailbox via subscription!   CRAFT:  also has a great on-line magazine http://www.craftzine.comchocked full of resources, podcasts, blogs and project ideas and instructions.


Becky Stern, one of their regular contributors recently posted a Podcast on resin casting using Knead-a-Mold, our safe and easy to use molding silicone.  The project is a great place to start to learn how to do a very simple mold before you venture out into more complicated territory.
