Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I found this place many many years ago when it was just Cat! I joined much later after I saw it became a big, great community for crafting!
What projects are you currently working on?
Right now, I'm decorating a pair of converse. I've dyed them purple, added some metal spikes right at the back, and am using Angelus leather paint to decorate them with symbols and writing. I will post them here when I finish!
As I mentioned, I'm also decorating a denim vest. I have already put a load of patches and buttons on it. I plan to add spikes as well, and I am decorating lots of the vest with rhinestones!

What does your craft space look like?
Right now, I am basically taking up our whole back room. I have a few plastic folding tables and a TON of shelving with many sets of plastic drawers.

Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
I don't think I can answer this! I use SO much stuff because I do all sorts of crafts. Right at this moment, I am doing a lot of rhinestone-decorating (I get my stuff from lovetocrystal.com)
I have a cute punk vest and I am decorating a bunch of my patches with rhinestones!!
What do you craft along to?
Usually, I listen to whatever music fits my mood at the moment. [CYNICAL_MASS] ( http://www.cynicalmass.com/ ) and Ludovico Technique ( http://www.ludotechnique.com/ ) are a couple of current favorites.
Ghost and Rob Zombie are also great, and I love to listen to really upbeat/fast Industrial and Dubstep while crafting!
Lizzy's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
This is really difficult to pick. Honestly, I just love making things. I suppose I could say that costume making is my favorite thing, but that really encompasses a ton of various crafting!
If I absolutely have to pick one thing, I think making bleach stencils is my favorite. It's not terribly tough, it leaves a lot of room for creativity, and it produces really excellent results!
Lizzy's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I would love to be really great with sewing. Mostly, I lack the patience to sit down and do everything RIGHT! It would be great to have the skills and know how to be able to make high quality sewn pieces.`
Who are your crafting heroes?
Jessica from ZakkaLife http://zakkalife.com/ has been a favorite for a long time, and of course Cat Morley is always so creative and clever!!
LizzyLovesSatan's Favorite Projects
"Making a Pumpkin Mask" is a great one! I love fun costumey things, and I am interested in trying this one out! "How to make stickers into jewellery" is one I am SUPER in love with! I have a ton of great stickers I've collected over my life, and I can not wait to make some of them into wearables! I also love making jewelry, so this is double great! Finally, "DIY Pendant Lamp" is one I came across recently. I am moving into my own place soon, so DIY home decor, especially functional things, is right up my alley. This is definitely stowed away for later!
And finally...
