I know, I never post. So I thought I’d throw out a quick update on what I’m doing right now, even though it’s past my bedtime and I’ve been plastering and folding all day. I’m going to open a second Etsy shop, since the only thing that really ‘fits’ my first shop is jewellery, […]
I know, it’s been quite a while. I’ve done several new things in that time but for some reason the ‘tassel’ sticks I just made are what’s getting me to post. I have lots of other new ideas, the likes of which I’ve never seen anywhere else (I generally never see my ideas anywhere else, […]
As mentioned last time, I’m still tired of making the same old stuff. So I am slowly getting into new stuff and using new methods for old stuff. I’m playing around with polymer clay…and I’m doing accessories for short hair (though they work for long hair as well…most things that work for short hair work […]
I haven’t written in four months. Wow. But then, that’s about how long I’ve been UTTERLY SICK of hairsticks.
I clearly need to diversify. I’m investing in half a dozen books, all on different techniques, and plan to make a piece in each, even if I don’t immediately fall for it…I need to think of new […]
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. […]
