Here we go, I promised and I keep my promises (most of the time). Follow the cut!

This is a group shot of the paper lanterns I made. They have simple hemp handles, and are really adorable in person. I learnt to make them when I was small.

November is…

november-is

Extremely counter productive. Especially when I keep getting sick. Woe.

On the plus side, I’ve started working on small parts of peoples Christmas presents, and I watched the Scream Awards, which are possibly the most awesome awards show, ever. I’ve also been working on expanding a few of my characters and verses, not just the one related to NaNo.

I’m considering making magnets (marble and a few other types) maybe custom stationary/stamps, lavender sachets for drawers, nice little things as I’m making most if it by hand and a lot of people in my family keep telling me they have too much stuff. Maybe decorated candle holders? I don’t know. Ugh.

I hope everyone’s going strong! :hug: :hkiss:

One Inch, Squared.

or 2.5 centimetres for us metric folks!

My New Obsession is....

I present to you my first lot of inchies! They’re a motley sort of crew, not a set really… just a bunch I happened to make around the same time. The ones with googly eyes are what I like to call “Itsy Inchie Monsters”. Scary they may not be, but I bet they could charm the socks off of you. :evil: the star and butterflies may be going to my penpal when I get to her letter… the tree was just for the hell of it.


Want some more close ups? Well, here goes!(sorry about the quality, been having issues). (more…)

Pagan Artisans

I’ve had a busy day and was a little afraid I wouldn’t be able to post this.. but it should be done by the time I need to post it. I should note that the pictures in this article don’t belong to me but to the Artists who made them, they all should be linked though and if anyone wants something removed, feel free to tell me, I don’t mind! Also feel free to tell me if a link or something is broken.

What I’m going today is sharing with you some of the amazing arts and crafts from Etsy that are pagan themed. Many Pagans seem to prefer to make their own items, but supporting artisans doesn’t hurt at all.

Pagan Queen Earrings Pagan Princess

These are both by RhymesWithMagic and are a nice fun way to express your inner Pagan Queen, or even Princess if that is what you prefer. (more…)

Some Crafty W.I.P.’s

This is a “Faery House” I’m currently in the process of making. It’s made out of Super Sculpey and is in the process of being painted. Also, it has a semi-precious gemstone chip floor..

Excuse the shoddy photos and start of the paint job. It’ll look better when it’s done.

See? I told you! the floor around the stones is tinted slightly green with watered down acrylics. Ain’t it pretty? Also, note that I have put WINDOWS in! :D

A slightly more flattering shot of the half painted roof. The Green “grass” is a lot warmer in colouring in person, though.

And some more marble designs, for good measure. Also warmer in person but photoshop didn’t want to make them the right colour without making the page brown. Stupid thing.
