An update

So to start off: I finally made the other two angry birds to complete my collection (and no i am not including the irritating green boomerang bird, i refuse to acknowledge its existence lol) i like how the black bird turned out, and the white one i was pleased with until i put its eye liner on and its waaaaaay too dark now, also hes quite a bit smaller then he should be.

Some more love hearts were made yesterday (50 to be exact) so after they have the backs varnished they will be ready to assemble into more bracelets.

And look what the postman brought me! yummy buttons and ribbon from LovePaperFish on Etsy

So i can now start planning some bracelets and decorations in time for the Jubilee and Olympics.


Right this isn't getting my Love hearts varnished is it?

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 :)

Busy busy..

Where to start? I have a Pinterest now http://pinterest.com/dragonsdust/ and its so much fun! new addiction methinks :)

And just for fun here is a bowl of yummy buttons, i luff buttons, nom nom nom.

Cactus Pin Cushion

Here is my cactus pin cushion, made from felt and using a template and from Mollie Makes magazine. So much fun to make and was quick and easy too!

Also i found some wool and knitting needles and attempted some knitting, been years since i have done any. Also i started to learn Crotchet as i have never done it before and thought that i should give it a go! so these are my attempts.

Shrove Tuesday

Pancakes! Nom nom nom.

Moleskine

Due to working lots last week, i was not able to make anything (well apart from one thing, but you'll see that tomorrow) So i thought i would blog about my favourite sketchbooks; Moleskine!

This is my current collection. Two A5 plain soft back books, plus one A5 Watercolour sketchbook. A6 size: one Plain soft back book, one Soft back lined note book, Watercolour sketchbook and 2012 hardback diary (looking a bit poorly)

Inside: On the left is the oldest Moleskine i have and it's seen better days with the cover coming apart, its quite old as there are dragon ideas in it and i haven't draw dragons for ages. The middle is my newest plain book from my best friend, just got a couple of big cat skull sketches in at the moment.

Then its my watercolour sketchbook with a painting of my watercolour box on the first page, its meant to be my artist journal but so far i haven't really journalled much in it. Then finally my A6 watercolour sketchbook which has a few watercolour studies of the birds that frequent my garden (my favourite painting being the Treecreeper)

And there we have it, my lovely collection of yummy Moleskine books.

Angry Birds

Having only recently started playing Angry Birds i have gotten the need to make them out of fimo, and today i did. I really like how the pig turned out and the little blue bird is my favourite hehe!
