Beyond Duct Tape

Beyond duct tape is a collaboration between three friends who have one thing in common. They all had the same thought when they heard that they are now a ‘collective’. We are beyond the usual craft fare, inspired by: interesting perspectives, dragons, reinventing paper, eccentric finds, and new use for the everyday.

Handy Dandy Crafty Eye Candy

Today was a pretty great day! Didn't get much done, but I got a lot of sleeping in. Having a lot of relatives and friends around ensures a lot of birthdays, weddings and funerals. You quickly learn to appreciate days that are halfway free.

I bought a circle punch earlier which I used for images on this purse I made:


Purse I made




And today, I found it quite dull so I went to punch out a couple pieces of aluminum foil to sharpen it up. Then it got kinda fun and I ended up punching out a bunch! Which lead me to thinking of stringing them like sequins and making dangly earrings outta them. Hopefully I'll get that accomplished soon. What do you think? Blingy aluminum foil earrings? Yay? Nay? Okay?

We are beyond the usual craft fare, inspired by: interesting perspectives, dragons, reinventing paper, eccentric finds, and new use for the everyday. Amber Maria is a fun oddity who spends her free time painting, and is aiming for her bachelors in English through an accelerated distance learning program. Joelle is a Bible college graduate who is currently teaching C.S. Lewis to highschoolers and is in between life goals. She’s dabbling in the world of self-publishing and web design. Laura is a graphic designer wannabe (one more semester until it becomes a reality). Trees and overcast or rainy days make her happy. Paper is her first love, and she cannot find enough ways to craft with it. She is a doodler, a dabbler in painting, and a lover of recycling/ reconstructing.
