This week i have been a bit productive for once, probably as i won't be blogging next week, and possibly not the week afterwards either. I've been playing with one of those photo editing apps as well, so the pics might be a little different!
First of all, I have made a mixed media piece, using a Tando Creative arch.

The mechanical dreams snipart, gears and cabochon came from the craft box and aside from the Tim Holtz bottles, everything else is prima. I started off by gluing the cogs, flowers and tap onto the base, and painting it all black. I glued the bottles on after painting them black, and left the corks out. I then splattered various paints onto it, before adding the snipart and cabochon. I also added some microbeads here and there.
I've also been making some jewellery.
These are dream catcher earrings. The design came from Beads Direct, as did the components.
These are pompom earrings. Not something i would buy, but they came in a grab bag and apparently they are in this year. Really easy to do, just shove a headpin through the pompom, then add a jump ring and earring hooks. Job done!
I was googling how to colour resin, and came upon a fantastic website that showed how you can paint a mould with dry mica powder, then add clear resin. This was the result after i painted a feather mould with blue, purple and green. Bloody awesome.
More items that came in the grab bag. All aside from the findings were in there. Really simple, yet really vibrant. Had to do the earrings to match didn't i?
Finally, the update to the stitch. This is the only thing i am having trouble with at the moment. i have probably leapt too quickly from one to the next with no break in between.
Until next time,
Ems
