I had a ton of fun making this, and I adore the amethysts. Pretty pretty! :D I hope this makes the lass who commissioned this feel like a princess at her dance ^_^

Enjoy!

Jewellery Set Concept

Organicity (Final Piece)

This is a jewellery set specially made for an anniversary meal I had last night. I have received some lovely compliments on this set, and, this being coupled with my own pleasure and satisfaction with this set, makes me reeeeally happy and proud to share it!

Its my best jewellery to date of that I'm sure, and I spent a lot of hours doing this (necklace made from scratch, earrings/bracelet premade, but I have set them with the stones - blue abalone), however I know I can do better and I can't wait to have the time to sit down and try a similar inspired piece! :D

I hope you like.. :D

(and PS, yes that is me modelling them haha)

I'm not dead!

Honestly, I'm not! =P Sorry for the lack of posting, exam season has been upon me, but with it out the way, the sketchbook has been gleefully dusted off and I am happy to say that I feel extremely creative at the moment! I have more in the works, sketches and such, but for now, enjoy these :)


This little critter (above) is "Mr. Happy Whiskey Glass" - I made him as a label for my Fathers Day gift. Every year I get my dad a bottle of his favourite whiskey! :) The photo doesnt do it much justice, thers lots of shading work on the glass that hasnt been picked up, and of course he's 10 times cuter in real life! ;-)


This is my favourite jewellery creation to date! Its for sale here on my Etsy, so please head on over to my listing and check it out! Made from high quality (and hard to find!) double sided black velvet, and exactly 501 stormy grey pearlescent beads!


These last two are some WIP shots of my entry into the Kick your own ass competition on DeviantART. Ending this week, so I REALLY have to get a move on with it!!!!! Please wish me luck on finishing it! :O I am redoing this deviation in my current style. Its really fun so far :D

Crafts + WIP

Golly do I have a varied update for you all this week!

I've been working on a new piece - I have been trying to do a sketch a day, but when I sketched this piece, I just wanted to carry on and on and on..! The only reason I'm not yet currently colouring it is due to a lack of copic sketch markers for base colours - I'm really into using a layer of markers for a solid base, and then colouring over that with pencil crayons. So so fun and satisfying!

I have however done a colour test which is shown below - this was a photocopy of the ink roughly coloured in (really really roughly as you will see!) just so I can get an idea of what it will turn out like. I'm totally stuck on the background, however I'm pretty happy with the colours :)


Also, in college on Thursday I had a really good idea for how to make clip on earrings. I dont have my ears pieced but I adore earings, I have to say - they are so elegent and pretty. I would love to wear them... My boyfriends mother got me, a while back, a matching earring / necklace set. I've never been able to wear the earrings, but this week I've experimented and last night, I finally made them into a pair of clip ons! Well.. they dont "clip" as such.. maybe "grip" ons is more accurate!


Nevertheless, please please offer me feedback and critique on the earrings. This is obviously a first attempt, there are bits I'm not happy with, and I would love to be able to refine my technique so I can make more grip-on earrings in general for sale on my etsy site :D

Cookies to anyone who read all that, now, enjoy the art! :P
