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 […]
Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie…but they’re not turning out as I’d like. I think I’m going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional. It’s VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but ‘cute’, and floaters mostly fit in […]
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 […]
Or ‘floaters’, as I tend to call them, as it is faster. (Especially since I have to specially paste ‘appliqués’ so that the accent is present. I’m an Ontarian living right on the border of Québec…it grates my nerves to see a word that I know is supposed to have a French accent…accent aigu, in […]
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 […]
So, I made a pair of bone sticks with stone toppers the other day. Dyed bone with large pink opal chunks and (dyed) pink fossil beads. Then I thought that some of my natural stone would look really earthy when paired with wooden sticks, and though that is a very simple look, it would really […]
I made a pair of pink opal topper sticks today, which got me thinking about how many people prefer stone to glass or vice-versa. Glass is clearer and tends to be more vibrant and shine brighter…but stone has a sense of real value, and seems more organic (even though glass IS organic, in that […]
I’m kind of happy with myself today. I wasn’t feeling like making hairsticks…I get tired of them once in a while…so I made a pair of ear-wraps and took a very old pansy I sewed together out of ribbon and turned THAT into an alligator-clip barrette. It’s a big thing, about 3.5 inches at it’s […]
