Fimo Friday

Hehe, these guys are so fun to make and look really cute. So yeah that's what I have been up to this week. Also the Christmas pudding earring studs are back in stock here

More fallout dragons

Made another two Vault-tec dragons, this time one is a female! they are not a couple but the way the tails are it was silly not to photograph them together, unintentional heart lol both in the shop here

Sewing Sunday

I dun some sewing, w00t! 

Yesterday I went to a wedding and I finally made myself an item of clothing to wear, and a wedding is a perfect opportunity to wear a pretty dress:

I have had a pattern from Love Sewing magazine for a year? 2 years? Its called the Ruby dress by Simple Sew. This one here http://www.simplesewpatterns.com/index.php/patterns/the-ruby-dress.html 

I made it longer in the skirt because I don't skirts higher then my knees, I also made the petticoat underneath it as well. The belt was bought from a car boot sale for less then a pound. 

So yeah there is plenty wrong with it, like pokey boob darts and wonky side darts lol I did managed to get all the seams matched/aligned so I'm pleased with that as I usually fail at them.

Yay a dress! that I made! Happy Michelle :) 

Fimo Friday

Moar Dragons:

Little purple gaming dragon.

I made a custom dragon family as a wedding present for some friends. I really love the little dragon babies!

And the heart 

My favourite dragon so far this year and has already sold, Vault-Tec Dragon! with a tiny Pip-boy on its arm. I am currently working on another two one male and one female, they should be in the shop by the weekend. 

Birthstone dragons update

September, Sapphire, I don't know what happened when I was photographing this one, somehow the white background kept picking up a blue/purple tint from somewhere. Most annoying. Better photos here

This one is probably my favourite so far, October, Opal. It kinda came out feminine so I am going to do another one with a blue belly. More photos and the etsy listing here

Birthstone Dragons

I've been working on a new series of dragons this past month, Birthstone Dragons! I started with June as I started the series in May and I wanted to list them in the shop as soon as they were done. Logically the ones that would sell would be the dragons whose months were closer (gifts and such). 

So here is June Pearl:

Tricky to photograph the dragon and get the pearl in focus at the same time especially as my 35mm lens has just broken :(

July Ruby:

A bit of planning has to go into the colour schemes because Ruby is red just like Garnet and I don't want two similar dragons with only one difference.

August Peridot:

This one casued me the greatest difficulty with the colour scheme, I was stuck on this for quite some time which is why I am not as far into the series as I would have liked at this point. I was going to leave it and work on Septembers but I am glad I persevered as I think this one is my favourite so far.

June and July have already sold so I am planning on restocking them soon but August is going to be in the shop today or tomorrow? (still waiting on the varnish to dry). 

So that's what I have been working on so far. 

Moar Dragons
