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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Remember the cloisonne hummingbirds I showed before? I’ve made a charm-style dangle stick with them. They were VERY difficult to photograph, as you cannot set them down to do so, and the colours are so exotic that exact accuracy is needed…and can’t quite be achieved. I did the best I could, but it is MUCH […]
I have the pictures of Hopeless Romantic for you all to see about two weeks in advance of when they’ll be going up on Etsy…I have to have them up before the 12th of February but don’t want to put them up too much in advance, lest they sell before they can be featured.
I also […]
‘More’ may be the wrong word, as I believe this pair of horn sticks will be the ONLY pair of horn sticks that I ever do. The sticks themselves are 9 inches long which while they CAN be worn attractively, is rather difficult. You have to wear them in a low position, or […]
