The Introverted Crafter

Before I get onto this weeks make, here is the cross stitch update.  I have made a card this week, using the lawn fawn slide news surprise die. This is for my younger brother, do if you are reading this, stop reading and go away! Is he gone? Good. A little while ago he showed me this video of a street performer, who at the end of the skit, says, exactly, orange! If you know, you know, if not, look it up on YouTube. Anyway, i wanted to do a card inspired by that.  So, a nice cute little rabbit in a hat, completely with magic wand, I deliberately kept things plain.  When you slide it up, oranges galore!  Until next time Ems

I have worked with resin this week, using mica flakes and dirty pours.  I added some clear butterfly stickers to this one, for the clearer half.  I have also been working on the stitch.  Until next time Ems

I finally finished my bigger piece! My younger brother got me some crafty things for my birthday, and one of the things was a key holder to alter. I covered it with tim holtz colorize woodgrain planks, using nuvo drops to make the nails. I did a sparrow, heart, and skull and cross bones from air dry clay, using gold leaf to coat the skull amd cross bones. There is a telescope, a skull, rum bottles, and a ships wheel on the table. There's also PlayStation figures of jack and barbossa.  the top has a netting, which is jewellery netting, with shells and also some tentacles.  I also made a necklace, from a totally beads pattern but using my own stash. Finally, here is the stitch update. Until next time Ems

 I still haven't finished my bigger piece! I really should have, but i didn't feel like working on it this week. I have done a few things though. First, the stitch update. I have also made a pair of earrings.  Finally, I went back to my spellbinders advent calendar to make this card.  Until next time Ems 

 I love puns, so when I saw the toast die in the spellbinders advent calendar, I couldn't resist.  Simple but effective.  I have also been working on the stitch.  I have decided not to stitch the white now, so that'll save me about two months of stitching.  I am aware I promised a bigger project, but its not done yet.  until next time Ems 

Quick one this week. I haven't finished my bigger piece, so I have made a couple of bracelets.  Here is the update on the stitch.  Still loads to go! until next time Ems
