quick update

howdy

so here are afew pics of the new necklaces i was talking about in my last post, tell me what you think :)

new fairytale necklaces :)

howdy all.

So its been a while since I last posted, I was working on 2 custom ring pull bags which took up a lot of time. Once they were finished I made a few polymer clay and mini hama bead necklaces which didn't turn out too bad :) here's just a couple of them.

My favourite things I'm working on though are a new resin range, these are heart shape and all have a fairy tale themed which include snow white, three little pigs and three bears. these will be finished in about two days. I will do another update then.

on another note I have re listed the circle ring pull purse on my folksy store so check it out if you haven't already seen it ;)

that's all for now

thanks for reading!

bottle cap necklaces

howdy

i have made some new necklaces using bottle caps as the charms and filling them with resin,

i have made a set featuring monopoly money, they have came out a bit dark but not bad for my 1st try

i have also made some with kawaii characters which include snow white, a mermaid and Cinderella.

the Cinderella one has already been put on folksy for sale

http://www.retrofaerie.folksy.com/

more bottle cap jewellery will be made soon.

on another note i have had a request to make another ring pull bag from a friend of a friend so I'm also working on that though i don't have quite enough ring pulls yet.

that's all for now

bye bye!

for chocolate lovers :p

howdy all

so i have been playing around with polymer clay again and came up with a chocolate range of necklaces and bracelets. i made five necklaces featuring different chocolates, and a charm bracelets with mini chocolate charms on it, im going to be making more food/sweet themed charms to add to the collection.

heres how they turned out

the necklaces are made so the are roughly the same size as the real sweets and i will be listing them early next week.

thats all

ta-ta!

making laurens bag

howdy all,

a friend of mine like my ring pull bags so i said i would make her one if she saved enough ring pulls. even thought its only a clutch bag its still the biggest bag i have made out of ring pulls. i made it over six days, which is a lot quicker that i thought it would be,

anywho here's how it went.....

DAY 1

cleaned and sorted all the ring pulls

DAY 2

started crocheting them together

DAY3

carried on from day 2

DAY 4

finished the sides and made a bottom

DAY 5

added the bottom and lined the bag

DAY 6

added a zip and finito :)

and that's it, i hope to save a lot more ring pulls because this bag came out quite nice its a good size and i want to make more, possibly in other colours too.

that's all from me

bye bye :P

my shrink plastic creations

i thought i was the only one :(

howdy, so I've been working on more ring pull purses however I'm am no longer the only one selling them on folksy, a new person has just listed some. oh well they are big in the USA so it was bound to get quite popular over here.
on other news i have run out of yarn so my Nintendo blanket I'm making myself has been put on hold for now.
I'm going to be listing some new items next week so keep an eye out for those.

that all, just a mini update

bye bye :)

more ringpulls!

howdy
just listed another ring pull purse on folksy http://www.retrofaerie.folksy.com/ i have also put together a mini video of my ring pull creations and put it on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsezXEwXw6w

that's the video, my new purse isn't in it because it wasn't made at that point, I've also made a little necklace with ring pulls, i crochet 2 together to make a heart pendant

that's it, I'm going to try and make more little charms like this but with different shapes and see what they look like.

that's all for now

bye :)

new ring pull bag :)

howdy all!
wow it seems so long since my last post.
most of my time has been taken up by making a new ring pull bag that i finally finished yeppi!
its already listed on folksy and i have just started on a ring pull purse, here's the bag

so that it, im not used to crocheting that much so it made my hand ache quite a bit but it was worth it.

i was going to try and make a mini granny square blanket for a dolls house but as i started i thought mini crochet squares would look kind of cute on earrings so i tried it out and this is what they look like, what do you think?

that's all for this update im off to get some food im hungry lol

as always thanks for reading

toodle pip!
