My copy just arrived yesterday. I love the projects and attention to detail step outs on all the articles. But what I found particularly sweet were the little "send a WISH" pins in the homework section on page 97. In fact, all the little tidbit ideas in this section are great, quick, easy and do-able! I hope that you expand this section in future issues. Hats off to the contributors of these inspiring "can do" art snippets!

I checked a couple of local craft supply stores and can't find the metal tape referred to in the "Shimmering Ornaments" article. Any hints on where to find it?

I am looking for metal tape also! All I find is the copper tape for stained glass...Having my friends over for Arts and Appetizers at my house soon, so I need a resource for this....

I found silver-colored metal tape at Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember which one.) It is used for holding together aluminum/ metal AC ducts. It may be called "duct tape" not to be confused with the other duct/duck tape which is plastic not metal.

I think I found it in a tape section with a bunch of other tapes. I wish I had a subscription- I would love to see this issue!! well, hopefully soon!!

You can get metal tape at Home Depot.  Ask for foil tape (they seem to know this as foil tape for some reasons).

I made the Faux leather journals for christmas presents and everyone loved them !  Thank you for such a wonderful magazine.  As an artist I crave the inspiration that comes with every issue.  Marisa

I recently moved to a small town. In the "city", I had a group of women that would come for "Arts and Appetizers" and we would focus on projects from "Cloth, Paper, Scissors". This was great, play time that my friends and I loved!

In my new home, I had my first "Arts and Appetizers" and we did the Christmas ornaments. What a fun time for everyone to get to know others they may have heard of but not met! I had people there that weren't even invited! The ornaments were fantastic and those that were "doubters" made an ornament that was fabulous!

Can't wait to see what the next issue will bring! Thanks!

I missed the nov/dec 2010 issue. Is there anyway I can obtain the instructions for Beryl Taylor's shimmering ornaments?
