Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I remember it like it was yesterday :) It's the ever first creative community I found on the internet, back in 2009 and the first project was the plastic beads that I fell in love with!
What projects are you currently working on?
I just finished a Galaxy paint technique on an old drawer
I have more furniture coming in.. table, chairs and some old cabinets too - for those I will use some old italian comics books

What does your craft space look like?
Hahaa, over the last years I moved quite a few times..so my craft space changes and the furniture too.. I do share my space with my partner - he is creative too - print on t-shirts .. we are still settling in the new flat ..
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
I will probably answer in a very simple way : Scissors, paint brushes, PVC glue, acrylics, paper - books, magazines, flyers ... glitters and gemstones..
Is it too many?
What do you craft along to?
This is a cool question too - I admire people who can craft at movies or TV shows... I either watch or create .. so it's the music ... Usually from the internet - if I can name the genres - they are mainly electro, jazz or world music ...
Klarushja's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
I would rather name the 'material' :D - paper - and probably the craft then is decoupage/collage
Lately I'm enjoying decorating furniture, if possible combining the decoupage technique with painting
I'm into interior design in general
But the most challenging as a new craft is sewing for me :)
Klarushja's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I very much admire the sculpturers - especially who can carve a wood
( I don't think I'd be able to learn that ;)
Other than that I would be very pleased with learning crochetting and make my own clothes - I find it a very elegant craft
Who are your crafting heroes?
I get inspired randomly. But surely admire many crafters - well known and less known - are many to name them ;)
On this site it's defo Cat Morley, Mark Montano, Emi H.
The last 'new' admired by me is Hemgjord (Sweden) - the word means homemade in Swedish :) - The artist real name is - Helena Andreasson - apart from recycled art she is an amazing artist of collages (mandalas) made of magazines
PinKween's Favorite Projects
There are so many awesome projects that to choose only three it's been quite a difficult task :D The first project is the Train Ticket Cushion from Cat - because I love traveling and collecting all the train tickets, culture receipts (museum, exhibitions, cinema ...) The second project chose Mermaid Bottles from Mark Montana - I love the sea, mermaids, shells and anything around it + decorating glass bottles myself with other techniques. And the third project is Miniature Bookcase Necklace from Wei X. - who doesn't like to read a book while on summer travels ;)
