The dear Kitty Ballistic, who sent me all my wonderful Alice in Wonderland goodies, has now received my parcel and been kind enough to take some photos because I forgot!
Here’s what I sent
Handmade resin ‘Queen of Hearts’ Jewellery:
Teacup Candle kit, for an alternative Mad Hatters Tea party:
Some chocolate and Wonderland cards & tags:
and finally some little beady goods, to use in her crafts:

Some new stock added to the shop!
and another bracelet I made recently that seems to be causing a stir :)
Three sold before it was even listed but I promise there’s more similar on the way :)I was about to claim that it’s my first ever bracelet but then remembered I have a few more in the Johnny Come Lately shop that just haven’t made it online yet!

I thought it about time to share some more resin jewellery, works in progress :) I’m pretty excited about everything that I’m doing at the moment with college and stuff (first day back today was extremely productive, reassuring and FUN) but I’m really happy with the new jewellery I’m working on. I say ‘new’ but really it’s my old, original style. I think I got too sidetracked before Christmas, making things I thought were ‘cute’ and that other people would like, but with pretty much none of my own personality or signature.
Any constructive criticism is welcome, I’d really love to hear what you think of them!
(also please excuse the dust, scratches and fingerprints obscuring some of the design and text, sanding and polishing is the next stage!)

Fashion
These three pieces are reserved for Sterling Silver fittings and necklaces once I’ve gotten round to making them all smooth and shiny. There’s something a little fun about taking messy, lavish collages and pairing with something as delicate and simple as silver :)
Ballet
Just some vintage images of ballet dancers that I came across. The first has been collaged and finished with a red bow embedded into the resin. I’ve used the other in a more abstract way and keeping with the monochromatic scheme have added a faux pearl and a little silver flower from some broken, vintage jewels donated by a friend.
…and finally! A new collaboration with graphic designer and maker I Love Lexy. Alex had some of her I Love Lexy signature graphics printed onto fabric just before Christmas and I’ve taken abstracts from them and embedded them in various resin shapes. As soon as I finish attaching bails they’ll be on sale in her own online shop :)

edit: just read my own post back to myself, possibly the longest one I’ve written EVER. If I’m so busy with all this work then why am I spending hours on the internet playing with photos and writing about it?!~

I have been very, very busy indeed. College is even more fantastic now that I’m starting to not stink completely at drawing…it might be sensible to start photographing my sketchbooks/projects in the likely event that I will lose or forget about some of them though.
I’m still enjoying not having to work in my old stinky job and being constantly skint is good for the soul, less take-away pizza but more surf-watching down the beach :)
You’d think that I’d be at a loose end for things to do with my lazy, good-for-nothing self but seriously, there STILL aren’t enough hours in the day for me! It would appear that the less I have to juggle, the more balls I drop. I haven’t made any time for friends, I’m still not 100% caught up on college work, I keep breaking all my promises of making things/doing things/seeing things, my room and ‘creative space’ are both an absolute shambles.
Saying that though, I have watched three seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the space of 2 1/2 days and I’m VERY proud of that. I’ve probably had about 6hrs sleep since Thursday but fuelled by the Buffy and some really shit coffee, I’ve managed to sand and polish around 20 of 50 unfinished jewellery thingums (some of them dating back as far as the Jurassic period/January). If anyone wants to help finish the rest, I’ll teach you how to make them really really smooth :D
Taadaaaa…

These eight have just been added to my Folksy shop.. and the rest shall appear, erm, at ’some point’ when I get round to photographing them too. :)
