DIY Project: "Express It!" Candle with your own artwork

So my mom got me an "Express It!" Luminary for Christmas from Partylite, and what a cool gift for artists! You just print off your own artwork, and stick it in the middle of two glass cylinders. For Mine, I printed a piece i just created for a client, that I can only use for my portfolio,  (and my own home). I actually printed it on Clear Label Sticker Paper, so that it was flush with the inside cylinder, and it has a matte clear finish. 

It adds a really nice decoration to your home/apt. meanwhile its your own artwork! very fun. 

Jobs/Projects: NEEDED: Handmade pouches

A Friend of mine who sells some of my jewelry and buttons would like to find someone that handmakes pouches . Right now she packages her jewelry in small japanese zip pouches. Because each item is complimentary with all orders, she would like to spend $1.50 - $2 per Pouch, about 200 pouches needed.
