TAB Project Update

It might seem as though I have forgotten about The Achievement Badge Project since its launch, but I haven’t!  Although I must concede that I have definitely been running a little behind… I have caught up, though, and have to say how very cool the latest batch of entries is, with achievements ranging from map-reading [...]

More new TangleStuff!

I just added these cute mini Machin pouches to the Etsy Store (I know I was waxing lyrical about Folksy in my earlier post, but these are one-offs, so I can only post them in one place): the bags are printed with scans of used Machin postage stamps and contain a(n almost matching) button badge made [...]

The Achievement Badge Project – launched!

Whatever you have achieved, however important or trivial, it’s time to celebrate!  TangleCrafts is launching a new participatory project, The Achievement Badge Project (TAB Project, for short), and YOU are hereby cordially invited to take part.  All you need to do is design your very own achievement badge, complete & return an Entry Form, and [...]

TangleClub August Update

Having realised I am going to be away from home at the crucial moment, the August TangleClub freebie has been added early, you lucky people!  Hop over to the TangleClub Archive for an exclusive preview of a brand new project which I will be launching fully upon my return in a couple of weeks: The [...]

All mapped out…

Most people, in the course of experimenting with folding their own envelopes, have also experimented with folding envelopes from sheet maps.  It’s kinda cool, especially if you happen to have a map handy of your own area.  Taking this idea to a new level is the very clever free toy (uh, I mean tool) available [...]

Cold off the press from the Enchanted Times

Originally issued in the Enchanted Realms prior to Enchanted Times #1 (currently on clearance), the Enchanted Times has reprinted the Mini edition, #0.5 (vol. i), Peas in our Time, for the first time made available in the Real World.  It features an enhanced, easier-to-read version of the Princess and the Pea cross stitch chart (previous [...]

Happy Day of the Dandelion!

I love dandelions!  You probably guessed that, from the latest TangleStamp, Dandelion Smile, currently at the top of the sidebar…  Marguerite Keen of Piccadilly Post creates dandelion smiles by sending people ‘real mail’ (because who doesn’t love real mail, instead of bills, and statements etc…?), and yesterday I was lucky enough to receive one of [...]

TangleClub July Update

July’s TangleClub freebie has just been added – hop over to the TangleClub Archive for an exclusive-to-TangleClub-members printable Mail-Craft Mini-Zine!  I spent a lot of June playing with my lovely collection of Machin stamps (and making badges from them!) so this mini-zine was the natural progression.  It includes some very easy ideas for making your [...]

Zines I Like #4: Miss Sequential #4 by Marissa Falco

I love handwritten zines!  And this 24 page, half-size zine is entirely handwritten & hand-drawn.  In addition, it’s subject is entirely postal related, so this zine could really hardly fail to win me over.  The zine charts Marissa’s relationship with letters & mail from pre-school onwards, including letters written in code, early penpal failures, a [...]

More wanderers return

A year since this project began, so far 8 Friends & Faux postcards have made it home (the rest are still travelling – no casualties that I’m aware of, so far!).  I’m so happy with the progress of this project and the fascinating artwork that has appeared as a result.  This month – as seems [...]
