desertdreams67 @ 8:54pm: Hello world!
Not too sure on where to start, so this may be kind of random lol. I'm 21 and enjoy reading, writing, spinning poi, listening to music, photography, dance, raving, cosplay, modeling, designing, art in general, etc. I'm currently working on making a portfolio for photography; making cosplay outfits; and also trying to commission raver phat pants as a side hobby. Here's mine that I made as an example:
( PHAT PANTS THIS WAY!!Collapse )
Apart from that I'm trying to get into the staging industry for a normal job, which I'm excited about. Can't really think of anything else to say! Feel free to talk to me; I love socializing lol!

subdermalglow @ 11:11am: heat tool for hemming organza! I used this little number
to finish the bottom edge of sparkle organza petals today! A princess dress, with twirly ballgown skirt and large organza petals laid overtop. And I wasn't going to try a rolled hem on a curved organza edge, oh no. Recipe for hair-pulling-out, right there.
The heat gun was fantastic! Heats up within a matter of a couple of seconds, blows nice hot air in a controlled stream (about the diameter of a quarter or fifty-cent-piece), and just sealed the edges from about 15 inches away. I laid the organza on a towel on the ironing board for the operation.
I was able to create a scalloped effect by bringing the heat gun in closer every four inches or so along the hem.
Hooray! Organza, hemmed in ten minutes! Thought y'all might be interested...!

sourgrapeszine @ 8:38pm: SOURGRAPES: Needs craft makers! Hi there,
My name is Sam. I help run a zine called SOURGRAPES ZINE. We're a local zine based in Lexington KY. We focus on teaching kids about D.I.Y. ethics, being posi, and why its important to support local art and music.
I wanted to write not only to introduce our zine to the livejournal zine world! But also to explain our predicament. You see, after a lot of pulling out hair and craziness we've decided to hire on a full-time zine team. We used to be submission based but it was pretty hard on our (then) small team.
So now we're looking for like minded zinesters and punks who support self publication, D.I.Y. ethics, posi beliefs, and who are interested in having some fun creating a great zine and keeping the underground press alive!
We're looking for:
- Columnists
- Interviewers
- Record reviewer **
- Zine reviewers **
- D.I.Y. guide writers **
- Survival guide writers **
- Bike Repair guide writers **
- Cover artists (for upcoming covers)
- Photographers
- Cartoonists (full-time strip)
- Proof readers **
- Printers
- + more!
If you think you could help us out or would like to become apart of our team, we'd love to have you! Write us at SOURGRAPESZINE@GMAIL.COM or through our myspace: http://myspace.com/sourgrapeszine
Once again we are looking for FULL TIME writers/artists (which means we will be interested in your submissions for each issue) were poor and cant pay you but we can offer free ad space, zine copies, zine reviews, and whatever Sam can knit you!
Thanks!
SAM

savethepirate @ 10:13pm: sorry for xposting im starting a comp zine called ITS MY BODY, and i want to get a really diverse look at so many different aspects of our bodies, our choices, actions, etc. there are quite a few zines about sizeism, eating disorders, body image and such, but i want to have something that brings in all sorts of other viewpoints and topics as well. things that have to do with yr body, things like self-mutilation, medicine, clothing, sex work, physical labor, positive views, body mods, mortality, how yr body works, and more.
i would really LOVE to get anyone and everyone to send in whatever they want. anything from poetry, writing, media, art, comics, self portraits, prose, drawings, doodles, rants...everything! i really hope to get it to be a little more diverse than the regular zine, so that we see the sides that we dont even necessarily agree with, that dont apply to us, that we never thought about, that we need to understand...anything that can be photocopied is encouraged, even the tiniest haiku. please email or comment (savethepirate AT hotmail DOT com), or send to elle destroy! 5723 indigo houston, tx usa, and anyone who sends in a contribution, whether it gets used or not (although im pretty sure ill be using all of them) will get a free copy.
( some examples of possible topicsCollapse )
no word limits, as far as deadlines go...just try to get it in the next couple of months, the sooner the better!
