The Introverted Crafter

I actually managed to finish something this week! I bought something from a charity shop, with the idea to alter it.  So this was made with decoart weathered wood for the crackle, resin pieces, flowers and bubbles. it reminds me of the seahorses in the little mermaid. Also been working on the new stitch.  It's a little clearer as to what it is now. Any guesses? Until next time Ems

this week i saw an idea using a spellbinders die on YouTube, so decided to do my own version of it I have also started my new stitch. Here is the progress so far. Any ideas? Until next time Ems

Only one thing to show you this week, but it is a very important thing. Just over a year in the making, the Labyrinth stitch is complete!! Now onto the disaster. I got a ghost witch resin mould the other week, so i thought i would try it out. What I didn't take into account was that when it was filled, it wasn't exactly stable. So it buckled, spilling resin all over my counter top. I was so lucky it didn't end up on the floor (it did end up on the sleeves of my jumper). So, that sort of put me off crafting this weekend, hence the singular picture. I have started my next stitch, but its literally the first day. Until next time Ems

I have made a set of mixed media coasters today, using moulds, paper clay, waxes, tim holtz papers and film strips.  I did try using metallic flakes, but i didn't like how they worked or how they looked when I eventually did manage to do it. I have also been working on the  stitch. Almost finished! Until next time Ems

I made a necklace this week, using star beada, among other things. I have also worked on the stitch.  Until next time Ems

I prefer to use epoxy resin, but sometimes uv resin is the way to go. Like this week, when I finally tried the uv bubble technique. For those who don't know, you use soap bubbles on wet uv resin and then use a uv lamp to pop the bubbles and dry the resin, leaving a bubbly impression in the resin. You then use mica powder on it, and back it with black.  I have used this mica powder before, but  not with the black backing. It makes a real difference.  Here is the stitch update Until next time Ems
