Be My Angel

Sunday's Distracted Market was great fun, I got to catch up with the MOTL girls who had stalls there, including Ali J, Sarah (Odd Girl Out), Jane (PlanetLime), Jacquie (Ramsden Designs) and Beth (The Tiny Little Girl). Their stalls looked fantastic! However, I forgot to bring my camera to show you all the pictures =<. I bought a beautiful ring from Ali J's stall and a cute little heat pack from Hem'd. It is a frog-shaped heat pack named Francine! Now sitting on my desk at work, I will remember to take pix to put up!

In line with the soon-to-come Christmas theme, I have designed and created some really cute Angel earrings! They aren't so Christmassy that you can't wear them throughout the year, but will be the perfect accessory for that Christmas touch to your outfit (earring findings haven't been attached in this photos).

And this is what the back looks like.. ^^ The angel and its wings and halo are all handmade using polymer clay, with handpainted hands, robes and faces. I think they've turned out great, much cuter than I had expected, and I hope you all love them as much as I do! They will be a bit pricier than the Kokeshi Doll earrings, but I still haven't decided on how to price them! Advice/opinions will be greatly appreciated!! ^_^

Life in Miniature

YAYY!!! Finally got my computer back! Haven't blogged for so long because my computer died.. damn macs >_<>

I thought I would share what my kokeshi dolls look like when they are still WIPs.. all plain and gross-looking.. when I see them at this stage I hardly feel motivated at all! It is only when the paints start going on that the dolls begin to take shape ^_^ Also, Lotta told me about this great shop where I have found some tiny miniature dolls, about 1:150 scale! I have decided to use them assembled inside the cute jars I have as necklaces ^^ Just a little size comparison so you can really see how tiny they are!

The little soccer ball is handmade using polymer clay ^^

No one but my boy and my family have seen these yet, so I would love some feedback! I have been trying to find more of these delightful miniatures in different poses, and brainstorming ideas of different scenes I can put them in too ^^ Always so busy trying to fit in work, uni (exam coming up.. yikes!) and crafting! It is so great when the pieces come together, I am addicted to supplies shopping now :p

So far, I have been accepted into MOTL (November 15) and Perth Upmarket (December 14) and I am sending in my application for Unwrapped today - Fingers crossed!!!
