Voodoo Dolls and Magic Wands

I've joined some Pagan themed groups on Swap-bot. I'm not Pagan myself but I admire the religion for many reasons. It's got some great symbols, stories, and paranormal-esque (magic, spells, etc) beliefs. All of those things make for some neat swaps.

Last month I created an "authentic" magic wand. And tonight (or this morning really..it's 7 AM) I finished my voodoo doll. The wand is complete with a single terminated quartz Arkansas crystal, which all wands must have (apparently..I don't know much about wands). The voodoo doll was themed around "junk" or scraps of things we had. All parts of it had to be made from scraps, which was easy for me since I have a ton. It was themed "Banish the Junk Voodoo Doll". I almost want to keep it and Lily really wants it, but I've mad tons of voodoo dolls so I'll just make another.

I'm pretty proud of both. Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

 I actually went outside and found a nice stick. I sanded it, added shimmer pigment to purple paint, and let it dry.


I affixed the crystal to the end with super glue and wrapped wire around it. You can see but I braided this silver/pink Martha Stewart ribbon and wrapped it around the base of the wire wrapped crystal. Then I added a silver gemstone.

 The handle is made with this metallic silver Premo polymer clay. More braided ribbon and gemstones, plus a glass butterfly pendant.

New Packaging

New packaging that is cuter and more cost effective:

Headband

Tonight I started and finished my first sewing project. I've done a few before, mainly pillows, but never finished them because they were too...lumpy.

I know this one is simple but I thought it was a pretty cute idea. I plan on doing more but my fabric stash is sad.

Matchboxes!

I had a go at making matchboxes for a swap. Compared to what I've seen on flickr mine are mediocre at best. But I enjoyed making them!
