That’s right folks, I’ve decided to try out some new designs and as spring is in the air, a floral collection seemed fitting! I am making a range of jewellery and homeware items too after the feedback some customers gave as to loving the designs!
It is still working progress, so only a few items in Absolutely Crafty currently, but watch this space I am sure the collection will grow in no time at all.
Its official, I’ve gone mad for buttons! Since making my button peg fridge magnets, I’ve had a jar of multi coloured buttons waiting to be used.
So today I have been playing around with them to see if they would make great art works. I made one piece at Christmas as a gift – so why not branch out.
So I’ve been in Studio 4 since the summer of 2012, which seems such a long time ago now – but I came across few pictures of the Studio when I moved in. It seems to bare & so empty!
What a blast from the past!
Excited to see how my new piece worked out, so I cracked open the kiln to have a peek! Looked great so I decided to take it out of the kiln and break it away from the mould. A really messy, but difficult task because the glass was a lot thinner than I expected. It was extremely tense removing the mould, piece by piece – so worried the glass would break. But it worked! De-moulded and in one piece, so I gave it a quick clean and hey presto! Few pictures to show my excitement!
Today I was creating lots of test pieces to see if my new ideas would work and the kiln is on!
Check out a work in progress, I’ll post a picture when its fired – can’t wait to see what it turns out like…
