RPF - She's Crafty
Oct. 27th, 2009 01:30 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sailorhathorI'm creating this post because although I would be happy with any of the fandoms my writer does for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide, this one has the least chance of being written because it's so obscure. I want to give it a fighting chance. I had a REALLY hard time narrowing down what fandoms I want to request since I have at least six I could request easily, but I can only request four. So, I've made my choices. And two of them have enough of a following that I can easily see me getting a story written for one of them, while the other two are iffy, RPF - She's Crafty being the iffiest. Part of the fun of yuletide for me is being surprised by which fandom I get. It won't be a surprise if I can say oh, I'll definitely get a _____ story, because there's no way I'm getting a ______ story. I'd actually be shocked if anyone even OFFERS that they can write this fandom.
SO! The point of this post. If I know that I've introduced the Yuletide audience to the show, then I won't assume that I'm getting another fandom - I'll think "RPF - She's Crafty" has a chance! And the fun of being surprised is still there for me. Make sense? I hope so.
Without further blathering,
"She's Crafty" is a real person crafting show hosted by Wendy Russell. I get it on the ION Life Channel; I know it has been on HGTV before, but I don't know if it's on there now. Only one season was produced, in 2007. I guess they aren't going to make anymore. :(
Wendy makes some really neat, funky crafts that I actually feel I can make as well. It's not an intimidating experience. Many crafting and cooking shows make me feel like I could never make the things they create because the materials/ingredients are so expensive or out there or out of my taste range, but this show isn't like that. Wendy recycles things all the time and turns them into new, beautiful items, something I LOVE to do. She also loves retro decor, which I adore.

This is Wendy, wearing some great wristbands she made out of a tie:
This is Toby, Wendy's little sister, who often helps Wendy out on the show:
Toby and Wendy make a clock out of a rotary phone:
On every episode, Wendy has a famous crafting guest come on and show her how to do a craft.
This is fashion designer/crafter Mark Montano, author of The Bigass Book of Crafts. He's been on the show at least twice.
Here, Wendy and Mark pretend rolls of acetate are light sabers over the credits (Wendy's is yellow, which is why it's so hard to see). This is why I'd really like to see Mark Montano included in the story, because he and Wendy get along like old friends.
These are some of the crafts they've made on the show.
. 
This is a lamp made of plastic cups glued together. No, I'm serious. I think it looks awesome, except that if I made one, I'd try to find some really special cups, or some other material to use, because I think that plastic cups would look really tacky close up. It's one of those crafts that looks better from a distance.
. 
A mirror mounted on a painted backing (might be canvas, can't remember) with lettering on the mirror. I know exactly what I'd do with this - I'd make it look like the side mirror on Dean Winchester's car, with a real mirror.
. 
A mod-style room divider and a sectioned poster. With the room divider, I'd paint it to be more to my taste (pastel colors or patterns) and maybe fill in some of the openings with pictures. The poster is created by cutting up a large poster or pic you've blown up and putting each piece into a clear sleeve (Wendy called them sleeves for "hockey cards;" must be a Canadian thing), then attaching the sleeves together with craft rings and hanging it all from a curtain rod. There are so many ways you could modify this to make a really awesome wall hanging. It'd be a neat way to make an advent calendar, too. (A smaller version.)
Make your own Andy Warhol-style picture. This is not the best picture of Wendy ever.
. 
One of the most awesome things they ever made on the show, the slide lampshade. A lampshade made of slides, what could be more "Why didn't I think of that?!" So pretty. Another thing you could modify in a ton of gorgeous ways.
