The 2013 Craft & Hobby Association Winter Conference & Trade Show is a huge symposium of the latest in crafts, including mustache masks and a crackle-glazed skull.
Reminders Of Mortality
Total admiration for this paper-crafted skull. It's covered with a (previously best-kept artist's secret) crackle medium made by indie paint company Kroma Industries, located on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC. You can crackle on paper, wood, cloth... and once dry, it's flexible!

Mustache Masks
Selections from a new party favor die-cut set to jazz up your next big shindig. Pick the paper that coordinates with your overall event concept, cut pieces out, tape to a longish lollipop stick, and boom. Photo ops abound.

An IRL Pinboard
Canvas and clothespins kept cropping up in the show floor styling. These black hang tags have a cute, slightly Seussical rhyming quality to them. A whimsical, DIY-friendly and easily customizable project.

Tiny Prefab Houses
If only all housing was this reasonably-priced. Here's some chipboard homes that come in large, medium and small sizes. Customize them with paint, ink or paper, then dust with mica minerals or glass glitter for vintage sparkle.
