Crystal Bearers...

Good morning everyone out there! First post after Christmas and New Years so Happy 2015 to you all! I had loads of projects going on before Christmas but could not show you any of them as they were meant as Christmas gifts. Here is the first lot anyway. My little crystal bearers. 

This white one were for my mum and it is carrying a little Rose Quartz nugget around its neck.

The grey crystal bearer were for my mother in law and it is carrying three little nuggets of Amethyst around its neck.

I had great fun making these and it was very interesting to read up on and learn allot about crystals. I will definitely be working allot with crystals in the future. And since I loved making these little creatures so much I am planning to do a limited edition run of 10 for the shop. I would love to know who is interested and I will be taking pre-orders in a few weeks hopefully. They will come in five different colours with five different crystals and there will be two of each colour/crystal available.

What Nature Can Bring...

 Good morning everyone out there! My first week of freedom have started and this is what I've done so far. I started the week with having a smaller meltdown due to the stress of getting everything ready for the babys arrival I guess. We've got everything ready so I really don't know where this stress comes from. I think it's just the hormones. So Monday was a complete write off besides the fact that it got me out. I needed air and I also needed to sort out some props for my new mobile phone cover photos.

 So we took a stroll down to the beach, which has become one amazing effort. It took a good while to walk back I can tell you that much. It is all down hills to the beach, which means it is all up hills coming back. It is no walk in the park when you're pregnant.

 I did find loads of free props on the beach and in the woods though. Pine-cones, seashell, oyster shells, white stones, branches and sticks. The feathers I bought of Ebay UK and they are stunning too. I have always loved feathers, but I don't like picking them up in the nature anymore, unless it is an Amazing one. I collected feather when I was a child and I can remember that sometimes they had little mites and stuff on them. Ueeeeak! I don't want that in my home so I rather buy them. But as a kid you just don't care about those things I guess.

 I kept some of the pine-cones natural. But found two that hadn't opened up yet. I think they look almost like armadillos and for some reason I thought painting them in black and while would look cool...

 And so I did... And they came out pretty cool don't you think? They work great as props! I wanted to keep the props quite simple, with neutral colours, so that they don't take away too much from the actual case I'm selling.

 More pine-cones and stones. I ended up giving the stones a lick of paint as well. I wanted them to be proper white and not a sandy white. It is impossible to find proper white stones unless you buy them. But I'm not ready to spend £10 on something I can get for free in the nature.

 I also ended up painting the twigs and sticks I found in black an white. They came out great too. I started the actual photo shoot yesterday but didn't finish everything. It is so much more work then you think but so far I am very happy with how the photos are coming out and my new photo library already have 40 different variations of promotional photos for my phone cases. Here are a few sneak peaks on what I achieved yesterday:

I would love to hear what you think. Do you think it will give my MobiLOVE shop a good face lift?

Bird Trinket...

Yet another busy day. Two cushions in one day... well two and a half I guess, since I started the one with the deers on a few days ago. Anyway, I felt like doing something a bit more plain. I only planned to make a nice plain pillow from this beautiful fabric I found the other day, I liked it when it was finished but it had no personal touch what so ever so I thought "Hmmm the pattern reminds me of birds" and so I made a little bird trinket in felt that would spice it up a little...

The Beauty of a Deer...

This is my latest project... A deer cushion! I have always loved the silhouette of a deer and thought it'd make a great cushion. This is a beast of a cushion 70x55 cm and I just love it. If it wasn't for the fact that I need to sell everything that I make at the moment, I think I'd keep it for myself ;) Hope you like! 

Bird is a word...

It's been quiet here for a few days. I have been working, just not as intense since it is easy to burn yourself and forget about your better half. 

Anyway, this is what I've been working on for the past few days, and I must say I am very happy with it. Probably my favourite so far.

Birdies...

So today I've kept on working. I am determined to have as much as possible up on Etsy before September ends. I should take a little break from it now though. I guess you need to live as well :)

Home tree...

Another two cushions are now finished. I have two more to go to reach my goal for this month and also five trinkets. I hope to have all off my things up on Etsy by the end of September.
So let's see what I've done so far:

Bunny Rabbit...

Tomo's first cushion is finished!!! Yeey! This will go up on Etsy in a few days. I'll post here ones it's up. Hope you like!
