List of Arts and Craft Stores in Metro Vancouver

I've just completed a Squidoo lens listing all of the craft stores, scrapbook stores and specialty paper stores that I know about in Metro Vancouver or the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

The lens also has a place where Canadian artists and crafters can post links to their web sites, blogs, Etsy Stores, eBay stores, etc.

I created the lens because I receive so many email queries asking about craft stores in Vancouver.  Now I can just direct people to the lens,

Packaging Materials Becomes a Wall Hanging

I have added a page to the altered book web site. It shows an altered art wall hanging that I created from some unusually shaped packaging material that came with a new set of cookware.

This is an example of art derived from found objects or from recycled materials.

A little paint, some metallic ribbon, images cut from a greeting card and a few artificial flowers make up the supply list.

My page has pictures,text instructions and a video demo.
