Blog Ring post for Lisa of Obliciousness

This is my first blog post for the Craft Pimp blog ring and it’s for Lisa of Oodles of Obliciousness.

Lisa is a talented crafter who tries her hand at many things.

She has a passion for cooking and baking, especially cupcakes, yummy and these Whiskey Mac ones look absolutely delicious Lisa. 

Lisa is a very talented seed beader , her creations with the tiniest beads are a works of art. Just take a look at this intricate cuff she made, and then gave away!  It must have taken her hours and hours to make. What a kind and generous gesture.

She is also a card maker, using some fabulous patterned papers.

I have really enjoyed looking through Lisa’s blog, there are so many of her crafty ventures on there, like, polymer clay, sewing and jewellery making. I wonder what she’ll be trying next.

Why not follow Lisa’s blog  to see more of her lovely creations.

 

foils, inks and watercolour

This week I got a delivery of Premo clay, I have never used it before (I'm a Fimo girl).
First impressions are that the colours are so vibrant, the clay feels very plasticy.
It blends really well and conditions very quickly.

I wanted to use the translucent so made a pendant with foils and inks and a layer of trans over the top.
WOW! it was so easy to get it really thin without tearing and I could immediately see the foils and inks under it before baking instead of a milky white film.

The finished result is the best trans I have achieved. very happy

 Here's a view of the backside too

Another batch of watercolour beads, this time with a purple base, no trans layer and no black layer. I like these.

Ha ha I just noticed the text that this picture was taken on (just beneath the beads) Delia Smith's Vegetarian cookbook. I might have to retake the picture before I try to sell them.

Yo Ho Ho

Look who turned up at the Flower Parade. Well you could have knocked me down with a feather but he was more interested in watching Colette lampworking.

 

This was our table set up, we had a double table on a corner with my demo table aka workbench, at one end and Colette's torch set up at the other end. It worked really well and we had a good couple of days.

 

I made a few beads and a cane during my demo's.

A lovely couple of days.
