The Introverted Crafter

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

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

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 

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

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

I got a lot of dies for Christmas, thanks to the lawn fawn grab bag and the spellbinders advent calendar, so im trying to use them. This week, I made a birthday card using lawn fawn banner dies and let's celebrate sentiment stamp, with a tim holtz dies in the background.  I also made a pair of earrings. Purple seems to be the theme this week.  I have also been working on the stitch, and finally had a colour i did not run out of.  Until next time Ems
