The Introverted Crafter

Before I start on this weeks makes, here is the stitch update. I reckon I am just about two months away from finishing.  I decided to make some keyrings for the office christmas presents this year. I had some wooden pendants as a base. I was going to do polymer clay as the background, but a bit of research turned up that you can't bake the wooden pendants, so instead I used sand and moss in resin. I added small clay pieces (baked separately) and then added a final layer of resin.  Until next time Ems

I shouldn't have written that title, cos now I can't get that bloody Billie Piper song out of my head. Anyway, this week I have made some earrings. I had resin beads that sort of looked like honey, as well as flower beads and bee charms. I would have added more flowers, but it is really difficult to put them on there! Here is the stitch update.  Until next time Ems

Before i post anything else, here is the stitch update. Another colleague is leaving, so i made her a card, using donuts as inspiration. It is all Lawn Fawn supplies.  Until next time Ems

I made a trio of earring sets this week, using flower beads.  It was surprisingly hard to put that initial jump ring in each flower!  I have also been working on the stitch. Its definitely coming together. Should be done before the end of October, then onto the next one! Until next time Ems

Stencils are something I have a lot of, but something I rarely use. This week, i decided to use a stencil as the focal point of a card.  This was a set of matching spellbinder stencils, with a spellbinders sentiment die, a bow die from my stash (think it was a magazine freebie back when I still used to get magazines) and lawn fawn paper.  Stitch update: Ran out of the current thread as well. Ridiculous really. I think because I ordered the thread and the guide separately, I probably ordered the wrong size until next time Ems

Made a few things this week. First of all, here is the stitch update.  I have also made a pair of mushroom earrings.  Finally, I have altered a hexagon box. I started by choosing which moulds to add, then painted it with black gesso, then sprayed it with a mixture of distress oxide and Lindys sprays. I added a bit of wax to define the details, then added some melange art pebbles.  Until next time Ems
