Earring Holder

Hi folks,
there are plenty of ideas for earring hangers floating around the internet, and I won't take any credit for the idea, but a friend asked me if I would share how I made mine.

My original inspiration was this great blog, H is for Handmade, but I figured I could do it a step simpler (since I neither have lots of lace nor a sewing machine) so I just took one piece of material. However, Amy's version is better suited to all kinds of earrings as well as hair clips.
I bought a small frame (about 20 x 20 x 5cm) from a local art shop and found the wooden decorative cutouts there too.

I then tacked the material into the inner sides of the frame (so you probably need something sturdy), working from opposite sides to avoid wrinkles. I also took a 2x2cm cube as a backing for the cutouts so they aren't directly on the wall. It makes the whole thing stand out more. Just glued everything together and voila, hang away. I think it was done in ten minutes.

Cheshire Cat Earrings

A friend of mine likes the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, so decided to make her a set of earrings out of FIMO.

The full fleshed version is unfortunately a bit heavy, but she wears the skeleton variation often. My inspiration was in fact the skeleton of a baby mouse I once found. It's about the same size (roughly 5-6cm long, 2cm wide) However, being that it should be the cheshire cat, it's got a wicked set of teeth to boot. :D



It wouldn't be the cheshire cat without the 'night-light effect'...

Kitty

I could make birthday presents all year round (if only I didn't need to work to finance the materials :]).

This little kitty took me about three hours to complete. He's about 8cm from top to tail and is made of FIMO.

Starting out...

Flourescent FIMO takes a lot of kneading to be pliable without crumbling...

Almost done...

After some detail work and baking, the pads, nose and ears become translucent.

Night Mode!

Today we honour the "King of Cute", Thorsten Kiecker, who is at this moment probably getting jolly with his family, celebrating the big 3-9.
Some time ago I fell in love with one of Sten's drawings of (oh surprise) a wee dragon:

and vowed to bring the little critter into the 3D plane. Here are the fruits of my efforts, brought to you by Melbourne souvenirs and FIMO:












He even watches over you at night! :]

New Blog

Hi folks,
Seeing as Bblog is no longer being pursued by its developers, I've had to look for alternative blogging solution. I'll be playing around with blogger for awhile, learning how to use it, so hang in there... I'll get back to sharing colourful eye candy in no time. ;)

Over and out.
