evenstar

I am in the middle of some projects so can't show them, but I have made a few pieces of jewellery this week.  This is made with some spacer beads and a magnetic clasp.  I got this evenstar pendant in a kit ages ago, and thought it lent well to purple beads.  Here is the update on the stitch. Until next time Ems

mum

It's mother's day, which means it's card time! This was made using a spellbinders umbrella die, and some paper in my stash.  I have also been working on the stitch.  Almost 40% finished now.  Until next time  Ems

Stars abound

I have made a few things this week. Firstly, here's is the update on the stitch.  There is actually more progress on the top half, but this is where I am working on at the moment, so this is what youre seeing! I have also made a vintage star. I went for wooden pieces coloured with paint pens this time, rather than resin, and no sentiments. I also made a necklace, making the chain myself, and added various beads.  I have also made a birthday card for my mum, who turns 70 this month. I used the roller skates from the spellbinders advent calendar, because she used to have a pair years ago. I tried to recreate the colours as best I could.  until next time Ems

Vintage heart

Didn't do as much crafting as I wanted to this week, but there's no point pushing it. I have done a few things. First, here is the stitch update.  I also got some new chameleon powders for my birthday, so I tested them out.  The blue is definitely my favourite. I need to try to paint them on the moulds then used black resin, because that apparently really makes them pop. I have also made a mixed media piece, using lace, resin moulds,vintage pictures and some jewels.  Until next time Ems

i can buy myself flowers

Quick one this week. I am in the middle of making something else, but I don't want to post it till it's complete.  First, here is the stitch update.  I am definitely going to run out of this colour as well. It says I am currently 35% through, but I will run out of the white surrounding the piece, so I may make this smaller to compensate. It didn't add too much to the mummy stitch.  I have also made a couple of matching bracelets (complimentary actually cos they run in opposite directions.) Until next time Ems 

seasons change

Made a few things recently. Firstly, here's the stitch.  Look, Ludo is coming along nicely, as are the door knockers.  I have also made a pair of earrings, using beads and spacers.  I have also made some pieces based on the seasons. Yes, they are in coffins, don't ask! I painted and stencilled the outside, then used dies on one side inside, and coloured some flowers for the other side. I had to use leaves, snowflakes and suns on the sides to hide where the inner die ended.  until next time Ems

luck of the irish

Someone at work is leaving, so I made them a good luck card, using dies and sequins from the spellbinders advent calendar, card from my stash, and tonic studios dream drops.  I have also been working on the stitch. Almost a third of the way through now.  I also tried a new (to me) technique. Wire wrapping. It is not easy, but I made a pair of earrings.  Until next time Ems
