Crafting Challenges

Here are some of my jewellery I have made with a crafting challenge in mind.

This is the bracelet I made for the jewellery challenge that tiggertastic runs. I am going to try and put a link at the side if I can work it out. I found this bracelet a pain to do as when I was trying to knot the elastic I kept flicking sead beads off in all directions.


This is the 2 makes I made for the Create with Kate on the crafts beautiful forum. This was interesting to do as both bracelet and necklace I learnt a lot. I now can just about manage to knot elastic and finish it of better. I also made my first cluster necklace. The bracelet looks much better wearing it then on the scanner. The cluster necklace also does not sit properly on the scanner. At some point I need to buy a decent camera so that I can get good photos.

Birthday card

Here's my latest creation. It is very different to my usual make. I normally make very simple designs and try to keep it quite clear. This time I decided to change that. Some of the paper I used was RAK from a swap I hosted at crafts beautiful. I am entering 3 challenges with this one. The first is forever friends which is to follow the sketch this week. The 2nd is sophisicat's which is ribbon and buttons. The last challenge (but no means the least) is crafty cardmakers which is using a stamped image. I am delighted that crafty cardmakers put me in their top 3 last week with the autumn theme.

Saturday 31st December

Not done much crafting today spent it playing with the puppy. I've managed to turn the heel. I struggled with this mainly due to not reading the instructions properly. So read a few blogs to make sure I got it and then looked at the instructions and realised I had misread it all. Ah well all sorted now.

Pyramage Card and Fimo Animals

Image
I was bored last night and decided to do some crafting. I made my first ever card with an elegant lady. I love the colours of the background. I loved making the pyramage card as it looks great but is really simple when you can line up the parts. I finished this and got thinking that I like so many animal beads and they are normally glass but I thought I wonder if you can make them out of fimo. So I found some pictures as I need to see picture before I can create anything. I made the teddy bear first and then the cat. These are not cooked yet as I am going to make some more fimo before I put them in the oven so I am not wasting electricity
