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.

My first makes.

Image
Here is picture of all my first makes. I wanted to start this blog so I can see all my pictures in one place. This is my first necklace I ever made after I went to the gem 'n' beads fair at newton abbott racecourse. I made this by following instructions in a book. This was really easy to make and turned out well. My second necklace is this double standed one. I had flicked through the book and saw it talking about double standed necklace and decided to do something different. This worked out well at the time. It is not my favourite and one of the beads has broken, the quality was not great seen lots of cracks in the other ones now. My 3rd one I made was from the LGC magazine and I picked it up so that I could get some new ideas. I copied one of the designs in their and actually made my first set of earrings to go with it. The next one was done by looking at reading LGC and seeing that I don't have to cover the whole wire in beads. I can use crimp beads to fix the...

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
