Catch up!

So as many of you know my lovely sister moved back to the Land of Sunshine. I've been busy helping her set up house and what not. Its been so much fun and very busy I'm not even close to being done yet. The small hours of the morning did allow for some crafting it was nice. I got some new earrings done and began work on a large tatting project.

Mask work will begin once I have a lighter and more manageable schedule. I've very excited to be making new masks though.

I'm kinda on a timeline so next month will be very busy. But its very exciting none the less. I had to leave thee tatting out of Raven's Kiss I couldn't get logistics on it to look like I wanted. I traded tatting for chains and beads. Well I'm tired and gong to go relax! Take care everyone!

Dream Big!

Works in Progress

I finished the "La vie en Rose" pendant, today. Seven roses, didn't take as long as I thought it was going to. Now to finish it. I'll admit this one is not for Etsy or myself. Its present for someone. But mum is the word! I feel like my projects have started becoming tedious types that require work and planning and can not be done in mere few hours a piece. That's good think its quality in piece of art not quantity. The Project Candy lace and rose earrings have been started and along with necklace concept.

There is so much to do, however I don't mind it at all. working on my passion is what drives me to it. There's just so much I want to accomplish. I think if people got to peek into my creative epicenter it would look like the Mad Hatter's Tea party in an aquarium. My Raven's Kiss earrings are getting closer to being completed the next step will be needle tatting and bead work. String art Tut is just about done I figure I'll be adding it here and on Instructables. The hardest part has been getting good clean photos when its only me working the camera. I could use a third arm . That completes it for today.

See ya soon

La vie en Rose

There's a wonderful song by Louis Armstrong, called "La vie en Rose." It was part of my inspiration for the start of the week. I love the beauty of a Rose. I do also love Gardenias, Snapdragons, Sweetpeas and so many other flowers. Not much covers the elegance of a rose. I mixed up a burgundy hue from clay and got started on a focal for a necklace. It will possibly consist of seven burgundy roses. I also started on piece I am calling Raven's Kiss. Its a pair earrings combining wire wrapping, sculpting, bead work, and needle tatting.

I really like how these are coming along. They work towards part of my idea for my steam punk mask. Nothing like getting some inspiration from one project and being able to use it on another project. I finally completed a set of Project Candy earrings. They came out really well. I finally restarted tatting my dragon. I printed the directions out and decided to work on this when I am fully concision this time. I'd really like to slay this dragon.

My fishing trip was a bust, yesterday. I had fun though, got some really good strikes, though. Better luck next time I suppose. Today was nice I got in good solid sculpting and time work on my sketch, Also got some supplies organized and more work on my String Art Tutorial. I have few more photos to take then to complete instructions that are easy to understand. Other than today has been pretty productive I plan on getting a work out in tonight.

See ya Soon!

Catching Dreams

I made these Dream catcher earrings during my creative hiatus. I had never thought of wearing dream catcher as an earring. I have however always loved how beautiful they look. I used emerald thread and pheasant feathers with leftover Swarovski Crystals, from a previous project. These are now one of my favorite pairs to wear.

Today is the Forth of July I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday. I have been so far, I had beakfast with my husband and my puppy has decided to be super sweet today. For those of you who don't know I own a Lab mix named Tor, I call him Tornado. I got him a year from shelter and he's one of the loves in my life. I did manage to get amazing photos today, its always better to catch the sunlight. My

Fairy Dust Bottles and and some small rose sculpture earrings are listed on Etsy.

I mentioned yesterday Project Candy, I am going to work on making some Sweet Lolita style Jewelry in Honor of my friend Candace. She is a wonderful artist and quite talented

I am hoping to make these as statement pieces and have them reflect some of her personality as well. If you would like know more about Candy you can check her out here at Deviant Art.

Current projects for the moment are tatting all two million stitches in this scarf pattern by Totusmel. Working on first Tutorial for sculpting my roses. Many many many more wondrous things. Tomorrow will be Featuring the Start of Project Candy! Till next time Happy Crafting!

Feathers and Roses

So I've been away for several months, but fear not I'm finally back and ready to roll. So much has happened in the past couple of months, I moved in with my in laws. Its taken quite a bit of time to get settled and adjusted. During the past few months I took time to get my life a bit in order, though its still a wonderful chaotic mess, I started a garden, took up exercising, learned to make sushi and pasta from scratch. Let my muse take a nice long hiatus so she could get some rest and my creative functions would return to me revived. I also had the chance to sculpt some new roses I started sculpting plumeria, frangi pani flowers. They are still a work in progress.

Other projects I have been experimenting with are earrings and needle tatting. For years I never wore earrings. Now I'm suddenly in love with them. I added a few new pairs to my Etsy shop. They were fun to make, I hope to add more fun and unique styles with really bright colors. I also getting into added small elements from sculpting to my earrings as well. The earrings pictured above are an example. I sculpted the mini roses and attached them to the brass settings. I named those "The Queen's White Roses" after the White Queen in "Alice Wonderland." These feather earrings are just so much fun to wear. I like how light they feel when you wear them. Also the color possibilities are endless I learned to make from Craftovision (just click on Craftovsion for a link to the tutorial.) Corrine's Tutorial is really easy to follow and is fun. The Craftovison website is a great community of crafter's who share work and their tutorials. I find as great place to share ideas and read up on what others in the DIY community are up too. These earrings are my own version of the what Corine did.

Well that's all for now! My next post will be about an update on my needle tatting. Till next time Happy Crafting

Sorianna!
