~fish out of water~ (OP) User ID: 1084876 United States 09/13/2010 10:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm saving this thread and hopefully one day we can have a "show" on GLP and maybe rack up a little dough for Trinity as well as a few bucks for ourselves and other worthy causes:) Quoting: TVZ 1011620GREAT idea! I love it! Wonder if Trinity would go for it? I know that etsy is creating a "Group" function. I think it's in beta testing. Team GLP anyone? Seriously, would anyone else join? Oh yes! I have been waiting for it to happen :) If anyone is interested in starting a GLP group or team on etsy, feel free to convo me on etsy and I can start a list of interested people for when etsy groups goes live. Of course, I'd have to clear it with Trinity first (I think), but I'm just curious if there's enough interest to even warrant the creation of a group... Here's my etsy if you want to convo me: [link to www.etsy.com] |

I'm wondering if there are other crafty folks on here, and I'd love to hear about your art / craft mediums and projects. Quoting: ~fish out of water~I love working with wool in just about any form.

I had no idea there were so many other etsy-ians here and so much general talent - both in 2-D and 3-D mediums. Have to go burn some screens and finish making bread, but I'll check back periodically. |

There has got to be money in making items for niche fetish groups, I would imagine. Just knowing how many guys have unfulfilled fetishes in real life and how popular that site is...

Quoting: ~fish out of water~Do you have a recommended link or some suggested search terms for starters? It's not really a website, but a game world. You have to use a program to access in world. There is a search function in game. It's very elaborate and probably for a while you just want to get used to the controls and building tools. I'm usually around lately, re-building my shop.

Texas Uncensored User ID: 625367 United States 09/15/2010 03:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not so much into crafting, but sometimes make some quirky repurposed things. I took some cool old yo-yo's and turned them into chimes of a sort. A neighbor commented how much she liked it right after we moved in. A very large painting wasn't right for the walls in the new place, so I used it as a headboard. Looks great. Other than that, I buy cheap remnants of material- upholstery type, and use them as slip covers, throws, curtains. **** PEACE **** UFO's @ [link to www.youtube.com] UFO photos & phenomena @ [link to www.picasaweb.google.com] MY GLP VIDEO CHANNEL * [link to video.godlikeproductions.com] [link to www.futurequake.bravehost.com] |
