Steampunk, Pagan, fimo and Resin.. AND HANDMADE MONDAY

Been busy busy busy, been a few weeks since I've joined in on handmade Monday - go and check out the other blogs on handmade monday


So... Last week, I didn't get much done, with family visiting and work work work...


BUT today has been a day of creativity


I received my the latest book by the lovely Jema Hewitt on Saturday - really work a look guys :  http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1440308381/ref=oss_product


It gave me  some inspiration for today...  I've done some more steam punk creations

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

My Favourite Piece this week:

Would welcome feedback - apologies for photos (all taken on iPhone!!)

Have a great week peeps

Comic Con and Handmade Monday

Well, I haven't blogged for ages... I've been a very good girl and getting ready for my first major event - Wales Comic Con!!!  Well  a great weekend was had by all... I did totally forget to take photos but have found some others have taken.

Here you can see my lovely friends Tracy and Charley deep in discussion on the stall

Some friends with excellent costumes!!

Me with mini quiche provided by the lovely Charley and much needed!!

Oh and you have to watch this... My girls and boys attracting some attention to the stall!!

All in all a successful day, and lovely meeting up with friends old and new!  but feeling very old - should not have gone out the night before - lack of sleep made the Sunday interesting!! 

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.. I'm off to stock take and order bits!

Please pop over to Handmade Monday to see some other fab blogs!!

This week I have been mostly making pendants...

Vintage Faerie Picture on 25mm Pendant

Well, I'm loving  doing the pendants.  And have spent loads of free time this week making and making!!
I've had loads of Deliveries of shiny things including the materials to make these from this great shop:  Jasmin Studio Crafts  Really good stuff and very friendly!




At the moment they are mostly Alice in Wonderland Themed and Fairies, though I've also done a few favourites!!

I've also took delivery of a mini drill - very exciting, just looking around for things to drill, so I've made some earrings!

Scrabble tile earrings- these made me laugh, it was hours after the photo was taken that I realised what these spelt!!!

Teeny Alice Earrings - 8mm diameter

Guitar Pick Earrings - I've been meaning to do for a while, and now I've got a drill you can't stop me!!

My webshop is now filling up nicely - and I had my first sale (well, two at once)  for this necklace:

Hope you've all had a good week, have a great weekend!!

Alice Necklace

So, playing with some shiny things turned into spending a lot of time (and money) on lots of shiny things!!  But I've been having fun.  Trying something new, using pictures behind glass for pendants... Here's my first attempt - Alice in Wonderland inspired. Hoping to use this method for some sci-fi themed makes.  Don't know if I would like a bead on it as well?? Comments welcomed :)

apologies for photo quality, lighting in here isn't great!!

Handmade Monday... And Shiny Things

Well, I'm feeling a lot better, but work has taken it's toll this week... Not had much time for anything.  I have resisted the urge to go on forums etc, so that I could actually get some stuff made.  I have a stall at Wales Comic Con at the beginning of June so need to get stocked up on all things shiny.


I also had an email to say I've been mentioned in another blog which is great:  http://littlefloatingcraftco.blogspot.com/2011/04/are-you-goblin-kinda-girl.html  


Couldn't get the light today so pics aren't ideal, but here's some of the things I've made this week :)

I'm also researching how to do some bespoke sci-fi type pieces, so watch this space

When not pop over t handmade Monday and see what everyone else has been up to?
