If you don't have your own special crafting spot in your home, Craft Space by Craft Stor may be the best thing for you. It is a portable workspace that features storage for craft supplies inside, adjustable legs so you can work on an angle, and spaces made to hold paint brushes, books, and a lamp. Miniature picture frames by Hy-Jo come with their own canvas ready for crafting. The canvas snaps out, and comes in a variety of sizes.
Miniature frames are available in most frame and art supply stores.
Carol Duvall used Fimo fruit molds to make colorful clay fruit that she then applied to the canvas. These large markers can be used for drawing or painting, and are available from most art and craft stores. The blade of a rotary cutter fits through the slits cut in a plastic template and it is great for cutting perfect strips of materials. The handle has suction cups to hold it in place, and it is available in several different sizes. Fiskars Inc. 7811 W. Stewart Ave.
