Shrink Plastic Brooch

My new craft love...shrink plastic. I was surprised to see how much fun these things really are to make! Using just frosted shrink paper, colored pencils, and a microwave oven, creating a customized brooch is very easy. The opposite side is felted, and a pin back was applied to the back.

These stickers were very hard on my printer because of the different colors I used for them. A digital tea-stain over a pink hue practically eliminated the outline during the printing process. I just drew the outline on myself.

I have a thing for awkward body types in animals. Have you heard of Munchkin or Manx cats?

Gosh guys...I really haven't been blogging as much as I'd like to....and I miss everyone.

I have been super Super SUPERRRRRRRRR busy...no time to do the things I want to do. 

I recently started on a new belt. I love studded belts but I'd rather make my own with different designs. This one I am using a kitsch fabric with purple pyramid studs. It is a hard, long, annoying, and painful process;but when the belt is finished and I wear it out in public, everyone asks me where I bought it. I have the joy of telling them that I made it myself! :)

You Can Never Have Too Many Brooches

Handmade Brooch

I love collecting brooches...but making my own is a whole other story. This brooch is made from wood with one of my drawings transferred to it surrounded by lace. I have grown very fond of this and decided to put one up on Etsy for someone else to adore.

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer! The heat here is exhausting me!

Pink Hair

I recently discovered a program that is so much fun to use with a tablet. The program is called "Paint Tool SAI." It is easy to utilize and is equipped with different mediums to play around with. Creating this little girl was a fun experience with this program and I will definitely be using it a lot from now on.

Bad news, my son has destroyed my laptop. Along with the missing keys it now has lines going through the screen and I need to get a new computer for school before next Fall. Saving all of my Etsy sales in hopes that I can achieve my goal.
