Project: Light Switch Plate Mod Podge Decoupage Collage
$2 Processing Fee Donation oh so sweetly suggested
$4 Drink Special THE AKBAR COSMO: Richness worth a second glass!
You’ve been staring at your light switch, haven’t you? Days go by, every time you see it you say to yourself “One day, I’m going to switch out that boring light switch with something REALLY SNAZZY.” I’ll be bringing the Mod Podge, some magazines, the gems and glitter glue you love, all the stuff that’s needed to make your light switch SHINE! Mod Podge is sort of like glue, except it’s waaaaay more exciting than glue, it’s also a sealer and a finish, it’s water soluble and it was invented in 1967 in a garage by a woman who decoupaged an entier Volkswagen Beetle. Therefore, I can’t find anything wrong with Mod Podge, a CraftNight decoupage staple.
Now then: where would we be without electricity? Your light switch is the unsung hero of the room, it deserves some appreciation. festoon it’s plate with a selection of collage items just waiting for your hands to implement! Guests will flutter their hands to their chest in admiration, family members will say “Ah, now I understand you!” pets will nod their heads in agreement that your living space is a place of royalty, your lovers will brag to all their other lovers that they have never been loved until they have seen your light switch plate. That is not a euphemism.
See you at the Craft Table, if you have some old magazines you can share for collage, please bring them!
And YES! April’s pin, affectionately deemed “Mr.T-Bone Meaty Eyes” is yours for the having when you come in this month and ONLY this month!

Project: Bean-n-Pasta-n-Sparkle Mosaics!
$2 Suggested Processing Fee Donation
$4 Drink Special! The Akbar Cosmo: The Secret is Akbar’s Special Pouring Action, Just the Right (and generous) amount of real vodka!
Arranging together small colored pieces of pasta, beans, sparkles, puffballs, tissue paper, colored foam pieces, beads and glitter in to ANYTHING YOU WANT is your idea of a powerful way to start out April, right? YES, correct! We are fully immersed in Spring, and we are action packed!
This is the month where, if you want to eat a Reuben sandwich for breakfast: JUST EAT IT. If you want to watch Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris in the 1998 movie Stepmom: JUST WATCH IT. You have the power, it is yours for the taking. Don’t let anyone stand in the way of what you want to do. Summon the power of your ancestors and BE A CHOICE!!! ™
The Greek word for “invincible” is “adamas” and the word “diamond” also came from the word “adamas” and the (very shiny pretty) diamond is the birthstone of April which means that the (practically invincible) diamond is YOU! CraftNight is here for you to manifest your goals and aspirations, your strength and your power though the dramatic and engaging power of bean and pasta mosaics. Make a likeness of your personal totem, your favorite snack, symbols that motivate you, creatures that energize you, your family crest.
I’m also launching April’s NEW PIN! This one’s a doozy, not for the faint of heart, and terrifically weird. Where last month’s pin was a pressed shamrock for March, a sweet and cheerful traditional seasonal portrait, this one is just plain bizarre, and I can’t really say what inspired me to design it. It’s yours during the month of April 2013, never to be duplicated. Come in and get one while they’re HOT!

$4 Drink Special! The Akbar Cosmo: The right answer to the most time-effective solution!
Greek legends, when you get down to it, are just stories reciting a series of complicated errands and woeful miscommunication. For instance, the goddess of agriculture (Demeter) departs the land searching frantically for her daughter, Persephone, who is hanging out with her overly possessive boyfriend, Hades, in the underworld. This happens year after year, where everything wilts and dies because Demeter drops everything when her daughter departs to the infernal regions, but makes the land bloom beautifully when Persephone is up here with us. Persephone was tricked by Hades into eating 6 magic pomegranate seeds that require her to spend 6 months out of the year in earth’s downstairs living room. Ultimately, it kind of means that Persephone is a giant pain in the neck, Hades is a tool, and Demeter is a total Helicopter Parent. But whatever, Persephone’s here now, you can see it in the colorful blooms around our city!
Which brings me to the FLOWER FOTO holder, Ladybug frames and other sundry items for you to pick from at tonight’s CraftNight. The first project is a wooden one, with a flower-shaped clip suitable for holding notes or a photograph of you or someone else having the most fun in the whole world. The other project is a ladybug foam frame, and I’ve only got three of these, so if that’s what you want, you better get in here quick! And if I somehow run out of flower foto holders and ladybug frames, there will be more!
