An animated advertisement I created for my Etsy store, which will hopefully go on swap-bot via Project Wonderful:

New additions.

If anyone can find a wholesale supplier with no minimum purchase (not from Etsy though) that supplies the 2 mL footed oval vials pictured here I will send them a free necklace.

Recent ATC's

My recently made and favorite ATC's, which are all sadly sent off to their new owners.

 This is probably my favorite. It's simple but the skull is hand drawn and pretty accurate. You can't tell, but I hand painted the skull metallic silver. Then that was glued onto Dutch ephemera and outlined in black. Much cooler is person. I did not want to give this away.

 This is the first in a series of 7 Deadly Sins. I hand drew the body and then painted it.

 This was for an ATC swap featuring our favorite lyric by our favorite band. My favorite band is the Weepies and my favorite lyric is from "The World Spins Madly On". It goes "I thought of you and where you'd gone and the world spins madly on".

 Cryptozoology ATC. I did my second favorite cryptid the Lusca, which is a mammoth man eating, ship destroying octopus.

I also really loved this one. It was for Little Red Riding Hood, obviously. I didn't want to give it up. My partner did not seem to like it much. I was disappointed because I hand made vines with clay, hand drew and painted Little Red, and put together her basket.

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.

Unneccessary Censorship: LOST

My friend shared this on Facebook and it made me laugh so hard. Especially the last one.

New headbands

I'm really like the pink bow one. And it was so easy to make.

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.

New Stuff Part 2

Little by little I'm adding new things to my Etsy, Cyanide & Sprinkles. I recently renamed it this because I sell on both ends of the spectrum, with dark things (like carved coffins and poison potions) and dainty, sweet things (like tea cup earrings).
