MAKE and CRAFT
by debra roby


Crafters and DYIers are familiar with MAKE zine... which brings DIY technology to a backyard near you. HINT to parents: cool and different science fair potential can be found here. MAKE also produces a weekend project podcast you can subscribe to at ITUNES.

Now a new zine is being added to the fold: CRAFT. Everything old is edgy and fresh if you find it in CRAFT.

  From how to hem your own jeans, to a week of toys  to making a jar lantern. If it would appeal to a crafter it will make it's way to CRAFT.

I love the challenge for their podcast:

If you had all the time, money, and resources you needed to craft something really amazing, what would you craft? Think up something really impressive and call 206-888-CRAF and leave a message describing the most amazing craft item that you would make if there were no obstacles or barriers. Hey, you can even imagine that you have assistants to help out!

hmm, excuse me while I imagine the perfect project...
