Japanese girl

I really wanted to make a card, but it's all not going as good as I would like it to. Anyhow, this is what I made today, not pleased with it though... 

Santoro Gorjuss

The Santoro Gorjuss collection is absolutely amazing, stilltrying some stuff out with the stamps, but here are the first versions. For the colouring I used promarkers and the letters are the latest Marianne Design die cut.

 

Wee penguin

Christel Krukkert's book also has a lovely penguin pattern and I decided the polar bear needed a friend, so here they are.

Some jewelry

I have made some bobby pins, earrings, rings and a pendant. All the cabuchons are in resin.

It actually went a lot faster then expected. But I am rather pleased with the result.

It was also a small fulfilment of the "must create something, anything"- mood I'm having.

Polar bear

I bought Christel Krukkerts pattern books in the discount bookshop and just love the patterns, wish I had more time so I would be able to finish them faster. Anyhow, here is the polar bear I recently finished.

More candles

I have made more candles. Mostly with Marianne Design stamps and some with Lili of the valley ones. I used Promarkers for the colouring.

Christmas candles

I found instructions to stamp on candles, it looked really nice, so I decided to give it a try... These are my first tryouts.

The owls are Marianne Design stamps and the others are from lili of the valley. I used Promarker pens for the colouring.

Snowpixie

I found a pattern of a snowball with a hat and decided that should be amongst my decoration...

Gauntlets part three

A workfriend (she's a tad more meaningful then just 'colleague') asked me if I could make the gauntlets black-red as well. Since I already planned that, I could start them off almost immediately. This is the result...

Gauntlets part two

Some more gauntlets, this time with a lace border.

X for X-mas part two

The result of today's creations... Still not truly satisfied though... However I did enjoy it a lot

X for X-mas

Christmas is just around the corner, the fact that the night is falling sooner every day now proves it. I know there are still many other festivities coming up, but at the end of the day Christmas is the most special one of all. Last year it was an undecorative one, because I had mayor gallbladder issues that were undetected at that point, but caused me a lot of pain and sorrow. One Friday night, November 30th to be exact I wanted to start on it and finish it off on Saturday morning, but I went in labour and gave birth to Laura. Two weeks later I planned the exact same thing, but little Laura got ill and ended up in hospital.

Supersticious as I am, I figured I cursed Christmas and the other way around and decided to leave the decorating part for what it was. Christmas eve I regretted that bit so much that I have to make up for a lost one this year. First up; some cards... I've been working on some last night, but am not one bit impressed nor satisfied... Will need some more craft stuff to get it right. Nonetheless, here are yesterday nights cards...

Gauntlets

I was ill and my creativity kind of died on me, but I knew I needed to make something, anything to help me back on my feet, so ended up making gauntlets, easy to make and hardly any counting needed...
