A 90th birthday continued!

Finally finished the initialed handkerchiefs I was making for my grandads birthday next week. Finished in 3 shades of his favourite colour, blue 😊

In the end I gave up with the box I had made and bought one. I had looked everywhere before I made my box so am glad I finally found the one below 😊

A 90th birthday!

So my lovely grandad will be 90 next week. 

I have been making him a present, 3 initialed hankichiefs and a poor attempt at a box to put them in. My first attempt at a box so I'm sure he will forgive me 😊

Also made him a birthday card using docrafts Wellington collection. I just love the Wellington collection. 

The record player was a perfect choice as me and my grandad used to often sit and listen to his records when I was about 3-5 years old. I would often ask him to get them out and he would play one for me 😄 ❤️

Seagull

So tonight I thought I would give making a clay seagull a try. 

Using white and black fimo polymer clay for the body and orange for the feet. 

I did however have some problems keeping the body white whilst using the black clay. 

**If anyone has any suggestions for how to keep one colour from going dirty with another's dye, I would welcome comments on this post! Or any other general suggestions for a newbie using fimo polymer clay!**

So the seagull is a dirty scavenger seagull! I hope he stands once I have baked him. Then he will be up for sale, at a reduced price because he is a first learning piece. 

From the dirty scraps of clay from the seagull, I mixed them together and made a marbled bead! 

One of my most favourite makes so far!

This is one of most favourite makes I have done so far. 

The inspiration was from other crafter, where they had knitted an underwater creature. 

This is created with thin layers of wool roving in 3 shades of blue to create the sea. Thin layer of green to create the sea weed and orange for the fish. 

I then stuck it to a c6 card, which means it can be framed or used as a greeting card. 

Check out my etsy shop, where you will find this and other items I have created for sale.

Success!

My 4 fimo creations have been baked and cooled and have hardened! Yay! Success!

My butterfly is strong enough to be made into a broach also! Woo!

New fimo!

Today I went to a local craft shop and bought some new fimo! Gold, silver and purple glitter! 

I couldn't wait to get playing so I made this butterfly, which I am hoping I can make into a broach. 

As I am new to fimo I don't know if it will be too brittle once baked, so watch this space!

Discovery!

A couple of days ago I found some fimo clay I had forgotten about. So I started to have a play and created a ladybird and heart bead and a little penguin!

Needle felt gnome broach in progress

I am in the process of making a little gnome which will be made into a broach once complete, then put up for sale.
