Hobbies & Crafts - November 2006

I'm learning origami, and i was searching the net for origami diagrams... but i could find very many sites... the only ones i found were origami-instructions.com and origami.com/dev.origami. Any help? I really can only do the ones with the diagrams/pictures... (Plz also only include sites that have the regular and real origami... not ones that ppl just make up by twisting paper every which way.... )

My hubby really likes working on bikes (bycycles) and has always dreamed of having his own bike shop some day. But he never has time to even build the one he's been working on since before we moved in together. Whenever we move, we always move half a bike :)
So I was thinking that for his birthday I would buy him all the parts he needs to finish building his bike to help motivate him to work on his hobby more. Does that sound like a good idea or is it dumb?

I'm kinda new at this and using all the right chemicals, algae, soda ash, etc. I have great ideas but the lighter colors on my patterns get overpowered with the darker dyes spilling into them. I'm taking my time, using an eye-dropper and still have the problem. Any suggestions?

so, im making two albums full of favorite christmas songs. the plan is to make them into cards. i do not want them to be jewel case cd cards. the one that i received was a cardboard card and when you open it, there were two cd sleeves and u could pull the cd out to listen to them. i cant find any of those cardboard pocketed cards, so i was thinking of just finding the cardboard greeting cards and using the clear adhesive sleeves for the cds. any suggestions or know how or where to find the blank white cards?

Im on a tight budget & I like to give gifts to all of my friend's children for Christmas. This year, I was thinking of making personalized designs, with their name, on the computer & printing them out on the iron on T-shirt transfer paper that is available & putting them on shirts to give as gifts. But I'm wondering how well these hold up. I don't want to spend a lot of time doing this, only for the transfers to peel off after the first time the shirts are worn. Anyone who has experience with washing T-shirts w/iron on transfers, please answer, so I know if this would be worth my time or not. Thank you, in advance
