Fairy wings and supplies

Firstly I must apologise for being such a lazy blogger - Bad Nici!!!

So what have i been up to?  Well, busy busy busy

I've been making lots and lots....

This week I have been mainly concentrating on learning how to make fairy wings

It's a very fiddly process, but they are sooooo cute

I'm still very much learning, but the prototypes have gone down well.  I need to perfect the process of making these, then do a tutorial.

these ones didn't work too well, I tried using superglue to glue the wires -
just ends up messy, but with a little glitter they look ok

These are finished in diamond glaze with glitter, I like the effect of these
These are finished in glue and glitter.. I love the design on these

another set finished in diamond glaze, I think this is definitely the way to do it..

The other thing I have decided is to venture into the world of supplies.  i don't want to go mad, but the main thing is to sell the materials that I use - I'm spending so much on materials I may as well get them wholesale.
So I've added a new section to my website - CRAFT GOBLIN, the plan is to get some tutorials on there too.. 


So that's what I've been up to,  hope you are all having productive weeks x

Absinthe.... ??? Blood....???

Not blogged for a while.. been busy creating.  
I kinda developed an obsession with all things absinthe, love love love the vintage posters.  


Here's some thing's I made:
















My favourite are the tiny bottles filled with green glitter and a teeny absinthe label, which got me thinking....




And then I went to the kitchen and thought.......


Blood and Dead man's blood (for every vampire eventuality) 


So.... then I thought...........






Hope this has given you a little insight into how my mind works!!!

Steampunk and Handmade Monday

It's that time of the week again - Handmade Monday - pop over a have a look!!


I've been recovering from the comic con, but have had some time to make some new creations!
I've been experimenting with Fluxe Resin Powder... This is something I've been meaning to do for a while, and here's the results!

First piece I did - prototype :)








Then I went onto do these... I've done Doctor Who & Torchwood steampunk as I have a stall at DIFFCON in August, but will be doing lots of variations...

I love the effect with the resin and watch parts!!!

I then went on to make some other steampunk goodies
