Blogiversary

My little blog is 2 years old today! Yay!

So what have I been up to this week? well I've been working on my knitting again:

I plan on knitting a few squares each week and maybe in a years time I will have enough for a blanket. I got the idea from this blog http://bugsandfishes.blogspot.co.uk/ and her sky blanket shes been working on. Anyway I hope that I will get better and that the improvement will be able to be tracked in the squares :)

Last week I ordered some stickers from Moo.com to go on the orders from my shops, and they arrived today! I am so pleased with them, I want to stick them on everything now! but I won't as that be a waste, well maybe a few....









And as its fimo Friday I have not one but two projects that I've been working on:

Halloween dragon!

Made from mostly Premo Clay, I love the green accents colour its so pretty! I've used a different varnish to what I usually varnish my clay creations, so he is even more glossy!

Under 2 inches high, 2.5 long and 2 inches at the widest part and sits quite happily in my hand.

And my second dragon who I have just finished today (so much so the varnish was still wet when taking photos)

Dragons Dust. Made from the shimmery blue and white clay, he has a little vial of dragons dust.

Had some problems with this one, first off one of the wings came off after baking so he had to go back in for a second bake to fix it, but that caused his horns to get singed :( I managed to sort the white horns but as you can see the blue horn singe is still visible. Also the tail is suppose to be more wrapped around the vial but in the oven it unstuck from its place. Oh well..

Sketching Sunday

Here are two sketches I have completed this week:

Hartmann's Mountain Zebra

And Loot the Peregrine/Lanner hybrid.




















On a different note: September already?!

Watercolour Wednesday

Ok so I haven't done any watercolours this week but here are 2 that I have done this month.

Robin, this is done in my little Moleskine watercolour book, I am not really happy with the colours but it does look like a robin so I guess I should shut up.

and a male Chaffinch A5 size. I really like the blush colour :)

Also my shops are now stocked with Christmas earrings! and the pumpkins too :) Etsy Folksy

Fimo Friday

Here's a little update on what I have been making recently:

Pumpkins or Jack o Lanterns. These guys will be for sale in both my shops soon (next few days hopefully) Etsy, Folksy

Look at their happy faces :)

Also a sneak preview of something else I have been working on this week ;)

Fimo Friday

Now that i finally have access to my craft room again and the weather is a bit cooler, I have been able to work on some fimo stock for my shops:

Gingerbread men! om nom nom nom. These will be divided between my Folksy shop and my Etsy shop around August/Sept time.

Something else I have made is this beautiful charm bracelet. I bought the pack from Spoilt Rotten Beads after spying the tutorial in Craftseller magazine. I did swap two of the charms for some charms I liked better, the Bee and the Hummingbird :)

Sketching Saturday Beans 2

Beans 2. Finished a few days ago, Graphite, photo reference used.

This cat is almost impossible to get to sit still long enough to photograph, so what she is looking at is a cat treat so i could get her to face me long enough to get a photo lol.

Moomin 2

Another sketch of Moomin. This one took longer then the other as the angle of the photo and the fact that i am right handed meant that i struggled with some aspects of the picture, especially the eyes.

Graphite, mostly HB to 4B on good quality cartridge paper.
