mmm...sculpey

I've started working with polymer clay, because I wanted to start making my own 3-d charms. At first I thought I was hopeless being that my best work with playdoh is a snake. But here are the little cuties I made:

some cupcakes



lollipops


sushi and ice cream


a pumpkin


and my favorite...Poop!

Goth kids Swap

Is it disturbing that it was fun to create creepy gothic stuff for a toddler? Is it more disturbing that Devil's Rejects was a 4 year old's favorite movie? Hell yeah! That's why I joined this swap! Here's what I made for a cute 4 year old girl who loves koi fish, Disney princesses, zombies, and the Devil's Rejects. It was a bedtime themed package.

Group Shot:


Gothic Tinkerbell slippers:


Zombie Girl pillow:


voodoo doll (complete with noose):


a creepy ass sleep shirt that reads "captain spaulding for president":


and a punky koi fish neckalace handmade by me with sharpies and shrink plastic:

Rusted Root

I finished this last month, and am just now coming around to posting it. I'm really dissapointed because it's too small. I love the pattern. I love the yarn. I love it it would've fit on me. I will definitely be making another as soon as I can.

Rockabilly Swap!!!

I really lucked out! My partner for this swap was a fashion design teacher, so of course I got clothes! Not only did I get a rockin' new outfit, but I also got a new apron, ring and wrist pin cushions, a makeup bag with matching coin purse, some glitzy barrettes, makeup brushes, magnets, pedi clippers, headband, and pinup girl compact and tin.

here are some pics of the small-ish stuff:
