cosy mitts

i've been busy, busy, busy the past few days creating new goodies to go in my shops.

however, i seem to have lost the charger for my camera and its all out of battery. so until my lovely new charger arrives in the post, i wont be able to list any of my new things =[

i've spent a whole load of hours working on these:

new mitten monsters!!!

(notice the bad phone camera quality picture)

these babies are made from a long cream coloured fur which has a slight shimmer to it (the photo totally doesn't do them justice) have hand sewn faces and are fully lined with a lovely soft brown fleece with no raw edges inside so they wont annoy your little fingers!

i have no idea what to charge for them though =/

i've also made a monster phone/mp3 case, a pair of apple cupcake earrings and a grapefruit and lemon cupcake necklace (because i stole the last one i made for myself *guilty face*) and some Hello Kitty shoes.

and today im working on some halloween themed earmuffs. yay!

i've also had orders for two pairs of soot sprite shoes, a pair of cupcake shoes and a tentacle cupcake (as the other one sold).

hopefully i'll get my charger on Friday and can start listing things then.

but for now there's some new things in my Folksy shop which were previously only in my etsy shops. go have a look HERE.

tell me what you've been working on!

cupcake ahoy!

i did have a cupcake monster in my shop

but he sold within half an hour.

yay cupcake monster!

i've also sold a pair of earmuff monsters. im having a good week XD

tasty tentacles!

I've FINALLY posted some halloween items in my shop.

My little devil brooch

and a tentacle cupcake

with an eyeball topped cupcake still to come (the varnish is drying!)

have a look see at the tentacle one though and tell me what you think?

i think it actually came out quite well..... well, better than i expected anyway.

its in my etsy shop at the moment, im not sure if i should list it on folksy or not?

I've listed my cupcake earrings now too

and a cupcake necklace.

yum yum yum.

Theres other different ones in my shop, so go have a peek!

i hope they sell!

i put a photo of  the kiwi cupcake necklace on my deviantart last night and it sold within 5 mins!!!

that was a lovely fast surprise XD

i wish.

yum yum

so i've put my kiwi and starfruit necklace up on etsy and its soon coming to folksy too.

i should also have all my earrings up for sale tonight too

im so proud of my little cupcakes =] i even stole a pair of grapefruit cupcake earrings to keep for myself! they were too cute!

and i posted your packaged out today theothermousie.

so Eric should be with you very soon indeed!

sweet tooth

i finally had a go at making some fimo cupcake earrings and necklaces today.

i've been wanting to for AGES.

i love cupcakes. i could live on them. for real!

and i've always been really into fimo cupcakes too, but yet i've never bought any as i've been holding out until i make my own.

and i kept putting it off as i thought that i would be no good at it at all,

but im actually quite proud!!!

the photo i took is really orange/yellow as its quite late, but i'll shove some more on here tomorrow for you to see

baaaaah! i think they're adorable!

i just love kiwi! its going to be hard for me to sell them; but alas, i must!

i've made others too; including, strawberry and chocolate and grapefruit!!!

they dont really fit in with my "Snarlz" shop though, do they? what do you think???

im planning on making some halloween themed ones which i guess i can sell with my monsters, but im not sure =/

I went charity shop hunting today, mainly for some old cameras, which i didnt find.

i did get a few books though, and this:

an owl pot!!!

isn't he just the most super thing ever?!

i fell completely in love with him. now i just need to think of something that i can keep in him.

a little bit of knowledge

So, i thought it would be best if i maybe told you a little bit about me.

I thought that might be nice.

So, im a 19 year old art student, studying Visual Studies at the Norwich art school.

Now, no one ever knows what Visual Studies is unless they've done it themselves and its a super hard course to explain. I guess the only thing i can say is that it's anything you want it to be! painting, sewing, sculpture, film, dance. As long as its visual then you can do it!

Its much fun! i mostly stick to sewing though.... i do love sewing.

This is meeeeee

I've been "in to" art since i was very, very young and studied it all through school. It wasn't until i went to college though (3 years ago now... god im getting old fast) that i found my passion for sewing and other similar crafty pursuits.

You see, my mother and her mother and even her mother were all seamstresses and i just wanted to run away from that. It's not cool to like the same things as your mum, right?

But, when the photography class i applied for was too full, i decided to try out the textiles course, thinking that i would want to give it up after only a few classes.

However, to my surprise, i fell completely in love with it and it actually became the only class at college that i enjoyed and didn't hate with a passion. weird.

I started to sell my stuff online under the shop name "Bee-Delicious" during my second year at college and also took part in a craft fair that summer too where i had my own stall. The first things i started to sell where needled felted (oh how i love needle felting!) slices of cake.

here is one of my first needle felted cake slices.

its still up for sale in my etsy shop, it seems that only i like it.

click here to go buy it, or just to have a look.

i've continued to sell through my first year of uni too, even though my tutors sometimes moan that all i think about is my online shops *sigh*

And that brings us to now, where i am splitting my shop in two.

Still keeping Bee-Delicious but starting up Snarlz too, as my monsters seem to clash with all the pretty pretty cakes and shoes and other things that i also create.

Splitting my shops is turning out to be a lot more complicated than i though, but im sure i'll get there in the end.

wish me luck =]
