I have a few cosplays that I am desperate to get started! But I promised myself I wouldn't touch my personal projects until I had got all of my uni work done and handed in >_<

Chicken wire and papier maché
Started 19 days ago · Last post 15 days ago ·
Hi guys, I am creating some ram horns using a chicken wire frame and papier maché, but I'm having problems getting a smooth surface (the chicken wire texture just won't go away!)
Does anyone have any tips on how to rectify this, I can easily start over.

Canvas shoes!
Started about 1 month ago · Last post 19 days ago ·
I always use acrylics with a coat of shoe protector spray, lasts loads of washes before cracking. I tend to wear out the shoes before the paint!
I also have a tutorial in my projects on how I do it :L

Rating projects and how to's
Started about 1 month ago · Last post 29 days ago ·
I would like to see a system that rates how useful a how-to is, I'm really fed up of the 'how-to' projects created that have one step which is of no use what so ever. It would make it much easier to search for how-tos and would probably help people improve their how-to writing skills :)

User 'control panel' not showing on mobile
Started 2 months ago · Last post 2 months ago ·
I can favorite things and such still, so I am definitely logged on. The bar should be showing. Good to know I'm not the only one having the problem Monika.

User 'control panel' not showing on mobile
Started 2 months ago · Last post 2 months ago ·
More often than not I am using the site on my mobile, all was working well until recently when the control panel thing (the red block on the top right which gives user options, shows notifications and messages, shows how many people you are following etc) stopped showing up. It isn't there, there is a blank space of background where it should be.
Can anyone fix this or is it just something I have to deal with on my phone?
(I am using an HTC desire s if that makes any difference)

It is sad that your post office is on strike :( It's really unfortunate timing with the swap happening.
The postal service here has been unusually efficient to get our packages to each other so fast, so it's sort of opposite to your situation :(

Better late than never! Here are photos of the bits I got from Hayley :) (Apologies for the terrible lighting in my room!)
Everything together :) The handmade bits: a lace collar, a custom clutch bag, a mini top hat, a rosette spider brooch, a bead spider brooch, and then the extra bits: some sweeties (including a liquorice lollipop, I love liquorice!

I watched all the episodes in order on netflix not that long ago, i used to enjoy it when I was younger and it looks like I still do! I haven't seen Korra yet, but need to, and those comics sound seriously interesting! Zuko was always a character I wanted more story for

What do you colour your shrinkies with?
Started 3 months ago · Last post 3 months ago ·
Hey guys!
I'm wondering what you all colour your shrink plastic with? I have tried permanent markers and painting on it with acrylic afterwards, but I'm wondering if there is anything else I should try? Any of you used something weird and wonderful and got great results?

More Giveaways for Other Countries?
Started 4 months ago · Last post 3 months ago ·
I live in the UK and most of the giveaways I want to enter are USA only :(
I think it's something to do with the companies offering the prizes for the giveaways, since they're doing it for nothing it makes sense they wouldn't want to fork out for hefty international shipping costs.
It is something that would be nice if it was worldwide, but I don't think CO+K have much of a say in it :(

What makes a good project??
Started 4 months ago · Last post 3 months ago ·
I'm seconding pictures. I'm always drawn to projects with clean, clear photos showing the project and not much more.
Titles are also important, it's annoys me when titles aren't capitalized, have spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Titles which are too long are inappropriate, leave some of the description for the description box!
With tutorial projects, I feel it is important to have clear images and good descriptions for every step.

hypermobility
Started over 4 years ago · Last post 3 months ago ·
The biggest thing I've found with having hypermobility is to not stop doing things because of it. The best thing to do it to do things! My doctor told me that swimming is the best exercise for people with hypermobility since it is a lot of work, but puts no weight strain on your joints (=no pain, little risk of dislocation and damage)
My knees and hips are constantly popping out, but have been a lot better since exercising more and wearing arch supports in my shoes (straightens leg since I am flat footed therefore putting less pressure on the joints)
The worst thing for me is my hands, my hypermobility combined with incredibly fine veins not only means my joints pop out and hurt, but they're always stone cold which makes it worse! Yay!
It's not a serious issue, I also have Crohn's disease, and that's what gets most of my medical attention!
