Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I don't really remember, but I was probably searching for a How-To on the net, and happened upon CO+K.
What projects are you currently working on?
I make birthday-cards to friends and family throughout the year, and right now I'm planning my eldest sister's christmas gift, which will be a fabric-painted shirt and a necklace featuring a mini-glass bottle.

What does your craft space look like?
I don't have a specific crafting space, but I usually sit on the floor of my bedroom, where several drawers and shelves contain crafting-tools.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
For jewellery-making I use a lot of wire, beads and chains, along with my trusty jewellery-tools. While scrapbooking I love using stamps and different kinds of ink, especially Distress Ink, which creates a great aged look.
What do you craft along to?
I'm usually too distracted by the crafting to pay attention to a movie og TV show, but I love listening to music. While crafting it's usually either movie-soundtracks or the latest pop-songs.
Solveig's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
I mostly do scrapbooking and make jewellery, which I love. In addition I often am inspired by books and movies, and try to replicate an object i see or read about. Recently I've also started decorating plain shirts with fabric paint.
Solveig's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I would love being able to sew and knit my own clothes, like my mum can.
Who are your crafting heroes?
I don't know of many "famous" crafters, but having grown up in a family of creative people I would say my mum and my to sisters. They sew and knit, do scrapbooking, and DIY-projects, respectively.
Sunny's Favorite Projects
I have several favourites, but I've chosen three which I liked so much that I made my own versions of them. Firstly The Perfect Pear's Mini Book Necklace. This was one of the first projects I made a version of and published on CO+K, and I love books, so it was perfect for me! It's also a super cute accessory. The second project is Juliet J.'s Clock Ring Out Of A Coin. I just though it was such a good idea! In addition it looks pretty professional. The last project is Dana's Make A Vase Out Of Sticks! I remember seeing it and thinking it looked really good, like something you could buy in a store. But it turned out to be pretty easy to make, because Dana's tutorial made it simple.
