You'll find Creativity-Portal.com listed in the magazine's annual guide (May 2006 issue, page 30) in the "best" article by Robin M. Hampton.

Q & A

Liquid Starch in Place of Glue
Creativity Portal wishes to thank Pam who e-mailed us with a useful tip for our Collage Cubies or paper mache projects. She said "liquid starch works great for the collage cubes or in place of glue for paper mache. It is easier to use than glue." Thank you Pam!
