Hello Crafter,

Now that we are 6 years old it’s time to makes a few changes. Many of you have commented on how nice our website looks after the new layout was introduced this past year. Now we are working on some details that will make the website work better for you no matter what browser you use or settings. We are currently working on replacing all 1,000 pictures showing the molds on our shopping pages. As you may know this takes some time and effort, so please be patient as we update them. When it’s complete you will be able to easily enlarge the pictures without leaving the shopping page to save your place and save you time in navigating our website. These new pictures are so much better that you may wonder if we added a whole new line of molds, as they will be much clearer and nicer to browse through. Keep watching for our newsletters and we will announce when the work is complete.

Until next time,

Marjorie with Mad About Molds

As always, we thank you for your time, you’re wonderful comments and your generous support! We enjoy sharing what we do and we love to hear what you think!

Announcements:

We are planning on adding a nice selection of new molds this year, but first we have a lot of work to do, so please be patient and watch for them here. You will be happy to see what we have coming. Also keep in mind that a few molds will be discontinued to make room for the new molds. So if there’s something you “have to have” you might want to consider getting it before it’s gone.

If you like Mad About Molds you will love our other websites!

Featured Molds:

After this winter, who wouldn’t be excited about Summer! Now is the time to start thinking about accessories that extenuate “Fun in the Sun!” Think about using cool summer colors such as blues and greens to make pieces that go with the bright new colors of summer!

Here’s just a sample of some of the summer time molds we have available.

5 Ways to Unleash Your Creativity


Do you ever bump up against inspiration and/or creativity blocks? I think it happens to all of us at some point. Here are some of my favorite ways to get back on track:

1. Get out of the studio and go shopping. No, I don’t mean buy more fabric, paints and threads. I mean go window shopping. And bring along a small journal. Sketch some designs that inspire you, note unusual color combinations that you like, and make notes about a new technique you see. Don’t just poke around quilt or fiber shops. Try antique shops, art shops, galleries, etc.

2. When you’re on vacation, I’ll add that new surroundings are great for inspiring new ideas. Historic homes and gardens offer ideas. Shells on the beach or landscapes you don’t see at home can lead to inspiration. Be sure to pack your cameras!

3. Take a class or get together with other artists. This could be as simple as going to a local guild and viewing show and tell. You might also find a small group to join. And, don’t limit yourself to your normal classes. Try a watercolor or other painting class, jewelry making or photography, something outside your realm.

4. Start an inspiration journal or file of photos, rooms, words and sayings, floral arrangements. Anything that inspires you – or makes you smile – goes in the folder. It’s a resource you can turn use to awake your creative juices.

5. Relax. Do something for your inner self. For example, a walk in the woods, a bike ride to the lake with a picnic, a bubble bath can all have the effect of just clearing your mind so you’re open to something new.
