There really has been nothing to say, this month…until now.
I finally got my hair chopped off to a VERY short cut again (not that my hair was ever longer than just-above-the-shoulder) and it has increased my desire to make more short-hair accessories. Also, I turned 30 at the end of May this year, and […]
The Far Grove has been busy today, due to a friend who has something of a following at her blog mentioning the shop. 6 hearts in one day and 4 items sold…I definitely don’t put it down to coincidence. So, thanks very much, Res. I really appreciate it.
Also since I’ve checked Etsy a few times […]
This entry should speak for itself, so I’m not going to blabber too much. I really like the new style of hairstick I’ve made, though they do present some problems, most notably the fact that they’ll have to be shipped in different (thicker) boxes, meaning it’ll put them out of the ‘light packet’ range of […]
For a long time I’ve wished I had a paint that would adhere to bone: I hate being limited to black and ivory as my only colours for bone sticks. But acrylic paint will not adhere to bone…at least not any variety *I* have found.
However…and I admit that with extensive logical problem-solving skills applied to […]
Yesterday was completely eaten up by an unavoidable trip to the city (Ottawa which, for those of you who know nothing about Canada, is the capital of the country…it’s a beautiful city, wonderfully clean and unpretentious.) And I came back exhausted and injured so so far today I haven’t been very productive. I’m also down […]
I’ve done it once before, but only due to necessity…and I didn’t list the end result in my shop. So now my first pair of ‘mismatched’ but coordinating hairsticks is finished and due to be listed in the near future…and I think they’re really fun. They’re essentially identical, but have the colours flipped, or inverted. […]
I can’t believe I covet my own earrings. But I DO…and here’s why. By rights, I am supposed to SELL these earrings. But I really want to keep them! They just look magical, to me, so…crystal-frosty and silvery. So…I should just make my own pair, right? Weellll…
Depending on how well […]
Tinies isn’t a word, is it? Tinys? No.
Well, whatever the words are, I’ve been on a ‘teeny’ kick lately, wanting to make just tiny, dainty things. Look at the earrings I just made this morning…they aren’t bigger than about half an inch in any direction as far as the cluster itself goes.
I think they’re cute, […]
If you’re looking for contest details, they are here.
I’ve been working on some cute hairsticks lately with the idea that some people might like to have dangles, but without them being very long or obtrusive. Just a little bit of dangly sparkle or jiggle, but not the whole shamoly. So yesterday I made […]
Fly-by. Have much to do, today. But hopefully I will find the time and energy to experiment further with yesterday’s messing-about with polymer clay, and see how the bits I made look in a necklace. There were glitches, of course…the ivory clay discoloured while baking. But other than that and a very slight misshaping of […]
