About:Eldest of five, son of two doctors, 10 years in Graphic Design and marketing, then retrained as a Biomedical Materials Engineer, don't ask me why, I think it was because I had always wanted to design artificial limbs (still haven't done that though). I have four beautiful children and although I have been divorced twice I am now very happy. I love Instructables, its ethos and the quality of people who populate its shores, and I am proud to be a member.

I really like your shoes in your profile picture. Did you make them?

KaptinScarlet (author) meismeems1 year ago

Thank you. No I didn't but I really love them too. I have had them for about 15 years now and they are not really wearable any more, which is a real pity. I have searched and searched for replacements or even something like them but not had any luck. I tracked down the (German) company that made them and managed to get in touch with them and I even phoned up the factory. They don't make them any more. I asked if they had any overs in storage somewhere or even if they had just some spare soles (a very tough grade of moulded polyurethane), which I could then take to a shoe maker / mender and get new uppers made, but they told me that they didn't have anything of them left and they were not going to make any more. One day I am going to bump into a shoe maker and ask them to make me some new ones.

Could you do another Harry Potter craft?

Hi. I went to your website and it is incredible! I've just looked through some of the projects and they are quite impressive rather ingenious. For that I congratulate you. I've been very free these past 5 months I only wish I had found this website sooner, you really look at things in a different way, almost like you are always on the lookout for what something has the potential to be. You have inspired me to look at things in a whole new light. You are like a modern-day Neil Buchanan (although Art Attack wasn't really very long ago haha). I'm going to look through all the projects and try to comeup with some of my own. Thank you so, so much! xx

Thank you very much, you are too kind. Definitely send me pictures of the projects you come up with, if you have time, I'd love to see them.

All the very best
