I have been given an Eiki overhead projector, model 3860 and I would like to draw a mural. Is this type of projector used with “transparencies” only. How may I use this? I have no experience with projectors.

Olivia Andrews asked:


Many of you would be having a passion for making arts and crafts and you might be using certain craft supplies and craft tools again and again. You can easily prepare a starters kit that includes craft supplies such as strong craft glue, podgy glue, wool, Popsicle sticks, various sized paintbrushes, assorted beads, can of liquid varnish, clear lacquer, safety pins, variety of papers, sequins, sparkles, material scraps, cotton batting, glue gun and fun foam.

You can get great fabrics and craft supplies available at various online stores and auction websites. You can find fabrics in dollar stores that tend to be seconds meaning that the pattern is either misshapen or there is a pulled stitch. This might be good enough if you need is remnant material you can consider buying your from any quality store too.

You can get quality wool at some websites and if you don’t have the money to spend on wool then you go for a bargain in any quality store and see what you can round up. You also need to have good paint stuff that you intend to use on a personal project or gift. If you intend to make a decorative craft for your home or as a gift then don’t ruin your project using a cheap paintbrush where you will find that the bristles fall out or they are made up of really bad nylon.

If you want to have lot of beads but you are not sure about the choice to be made then you can visit the catalog to order. Craft tools include scissors, utility knife, self healing mat, needles, stitch ripper, needle nose piler, and Popsicle sticks but never waste your money in buying cheap materials.

I’ve always been pretty good at arts and crafts. For example, I can cut construction paper with both my left and right hands, I won a macaroni art contest once on 2nd grade, I can make a really killer fort out of popsicle sticks AND I have the fastest hot glue gun in the West. I was wondering, do colleges such as Stanford and Harvard had good arts and crafts programs?
Valkyrie, scrap booking is for amateurs, not for a&c PROFESSIONALS!

The Glades Arts and Crafts Community of Gatlinburg, Tennessee

By Darryl Payne

One of the south’s lesser-known treasures is nestled in the hills adjacent to a popular village. What is it? The largest group of independent artists and craftsmen showing their skills. The Glades Arts and Crafts community is comprised of an eight-mile country road loop where over one hundred artists and craftsmen parade their trades. You’ll find a wide variety of art galleries, pottery barns, active workshops, independent artist showrooms, basket-making studios, and many more authentic local artisans.

Originally begun in the 1930’s, a visit to this unique location is still a visit to an earlier era, absent of industrial machines and computers. This was a time when a family community came together to share their talents with one another. Watch a master potter throw and spin clay into one-of-a-kind works on a wheel. Observe artists painting with various forms of art media, and then discover a mother/daughter team making beautiful jewelry they’ve designed together. Here originality and creativity occur daily.

Over the years this has been a place to come and discover the history and heritage that make up the Great Smoky Mountain legacy. What is so interesting about the artists and craftsmen is that they are continually seeking new and innovative ways of capturing their art form for today’s generation. Each year new artists are arriving to share their gifts and talents with the community to make it one of the most unique places to visit in the Smoky Mountains.

To visit the Arts and Crafts Community, simply get on Hwy. 321 in Gatlinburg and turn onto Glades or Buckhorn Road then follow the signs marked for Great Smoky Mountain Arts and Crafts Community. (It’s a very distinctive sign that has MEMBER written at the top.)
