Fimo Friday

Two of these little dragons have gone off to new homes but the others plus the Galaxy donut earrings are available in the shop

Sculpey Swans

I really loved my original swan that I made last year and it was on my to do list to make a pair. After making my pheasant I got started on these guys, the male has the brighter beak. 

In other news the oven has broken so at the moment so I cannot make any polymer clay pieces :( so there won't be any clay updates for a while. 

Oh and before I forget Paint palette earrings have been restocked and have a new design! Have a look here (these were made just before the oven broke)

Shrove Tuesday

Yay Pancake earrings!

December already!?

When did that happen?! I don't have any fimo to show you guys this week as I am having a break from making. Need to recharge my batteries and work on some new ideas for the new year.

I'll be shutting my shop for the holidays on Monday 21st December (which is last post for 1st class mail as well) but until then buy any pair of earrings and receive a FREE gift box for them! Perfect for stocking fillers, Secret Santa or maybe just a treat for yourself :) Shop HERE

Tiny Christmas pudding stud earrings

I've been busy this week making some new earrings for Christmas. These tiny earrings are 1cm big and made from fimo. They are up for sale in my Etsy shop.






I did find a very old Christmas pudding prototype earring I made many years ago (I have no idea how many years)

Look at how awful it is! (the one on the right lol) Its flat, the white fimo is filthy and don't get me started on the holly and berries no wonder I abandoned it.

Halloween and dragons

Halloween earrings that I have been working on for the last few months are listed in my Etsy. New for this year are the eyeball jar earrings and the plain pumpkin earrings. I am currently working on some Jack o Lantern stud earrings but they are proving tricky.

Fimo Friday

I've been making these earrings this week. I love these pastel shades!

Only 1cm big! Each of the colours are for sale in my Etsy shop. Also have a few hearts as well.

I made this dragon last week and forgot to blog it here :( Another dragon using Premo's Accents clay, this time Pearl green.

Snowflake Earrings

I've been working on a new design for my snowflake earrings this year that I think make them even more sparkly and pretty

Instead of the glittery clay I have used a pearlescent clay which shimmers, and I have added a Swarovski bicone bead to each earring. These are available in both Etsy and Folksy shops. They are also available in gift boxes as well, and for anyone who liked the glittery snowflakes I still have a few of them available too.

Shiny Swarovski bead.

Something I forgot to post in my Halloween themed post was this chainmaille bracelet I made to wear around Halloween. I made a Halloween charm bracelet too but I broke it :(

Christmas Cake Earrings

I made two slices of Christmas cake last year to go on my charm bracelet but I never had time to make earrings from them, but this year I have! So now I have 5 different pairs of Christmas earrings to wear in the run up to Christmas!

Yay Cake!

These are listed on both my Folksy and Etsy

Just for fun I wanted to see if this idea of making a Christmas card with buttons would work and I am quite pleased nice and simple but effective I think :)

Christmas stock

I have been busy working on Christmas stock the last few months and some of it has already been listed in my shops but I thought I'd wait a bit before making a blog entry about them and as the supermarkets are putting their Christmas stock out I thought now is a good time to make a Christmas blog entry.

These have been completed recently and I love them! Felt Christmas trees with button decorations.

One of my favourite earrings that I made to wear at work last year are these Christmas puddings. So this year I've made some to sell.

and my second favourite earrings we're my gingerbread men and these are for sale too.

I loved making these for my own tree last year and they looked really good too. I made one into a brooch to wear at work as well :)

Not necessarily Christmas but these looked really pretty on the tree with the other Christmasy decorations and were good decorations for Valentines day too.

and a white version.

Pumpkins

Been working on some Halloween fimo the last week:

I know that anyone following my blog/facebook for a year will know that these are nothing new, but last year i didn't have enough time to make any to sell only enough for my own use. So i now have these Jack o lanterns and Eyeball cakes for sale in my Folksy and Etsy shops!

Here are some real life pumpkins grown at my mothers allotment!

Looking forward to carving and decorating these!

Recent creations

Last week i was down in Cornwall and whilst i was in Bude i found a fantastic fabric shop, i have never seen so many fabric in one place! so i bought a few fat quarters that i liked the look of:

 I have no idea what i will do with them but i just liked them :)

This one is may favourite :)










Before the holiday i made a little bag to hold my travel watercolours (to fit in my handbag)

 The contents









Empty









Closed, i love this fabric!

Here is something else I have made. Made this yesterday as I had this idea floating around about making a little purse and with Christmas coming up and all I have been making recently are Christmas decorations and jewellery (see the last photo). I got a bundle of Christmas fabrics and a red zip and made this little purse. I love how it turned out and now I want to make more!

 Inside lining fabric

Perfect for holding jewellery :)

Sunshine

Makes me happy. I am loving the weather here in the UK, just wish i had more time to enjoy it and wasn't working so much :( 

Today was meant to be productive but nothing worked, so i found some things i made a few months ago but never posted about them:

These are yummy Cornetto earrings made from fimo, i don't think i was happy with the end result but after about 2 months i put some ear hooks on them and am currently wearing them as its suitable for the weather :)

I made this before i went on holiday and was going to add more charms to it but i haven't had time to make them and as the Diamond Jubilee is only a 9 days away I've left it as it is and have been wearing it lots.

Fly away home..

...Little ladybird.

Well those little green and red blobs from my previous post have been transformed! after several hours of painting, varnishing and gluing the little ladybirds are ready to fly away to a new home! if you would like to give one of these little critters a home head over to my Folksy or Etsy :)

Shrove Tuesday

Pancakes! Nom nom nom.

Fimo

Thursday was Fimo day and i made myself a new pair of Christmas earrings to wear at work (I like to wear a different pair each week in the run up to Christmas)

Gingerbread men! i used a small teddy cookie cutter and chopped the ears off to make them gingerbread men (as i could not find a gingerbread man cutter that small) I was meant to wear these this week coming but i could not wait to wear these so instead of my candy cane earrings which i was planning to wear the last few days i wore these.

I also managed to make my Christmas bracelet (finally!) it even has bells on. Christmas Pudding, Christmas cake, Yule log, Snowflake, Holly and a Candy cane with appropriately coloured buttons too!

Busy busy

First of I've made some Christmas pudding decorations from felt.

Then some hearts!

Then ordered some more buttons from Blooming Felt and LovePaperfish. I love Buttons!

And then ready to wear at work I have made some Christmas Pudding earrings out of fimo! also have a few more that will go on my Christmas Charm bracelet.

Today I plan on making more felt hearts with my new buttons and hopefully make a start on this Robin lino cut that I want to do for my Christmas cards.

New stuffs!

Finally got round to making all the recent fimo into jewellery today and photographed. Here are a few pieces that i am pleased with:

These are my favourite cakes ever! i love how these turned out, they did take quite a while to make but so so pleased with the result.

This i had been planning for a while i just never had the motivation to do it. I do have another Halloween bracelet that is purple and green but i feel its not finished yet.

Yay, these are so cute!

I work in an art shop and i am an artist so i thought it was only fitting i make some paint palette earrings to wear at work :)
