I made this dragon today. I had to make most of it out of tin foil and cover it with fimo as I didn't have enough and it's really expensive! :oops::lol:

I saw some dragons like this (that hold dice) online and thought it would be perfect for my friend Martin but they were hundreds of pounds :shock:
Mine's not as cute or polished, but I think he'll appreciate the effort, and I don't think it's bad considering it's my first attempt at making something out of fimo :D

This is so cool! What a lovely gift idea. :love:

Made these for my FIL last night, he's tricky to buy for but loves his Lambretta Scooter

Ooooh my snacks are in there too :oops::lol:

I left the outside edge visable as I thought it looked cool :D

I want to make my brother some cufflinks for christmas, so I've ordered some cufflink blanks and clear cabochons with the aim of putting an image underneath the cabochons. Does anyone know the best way to stick it all together?

Thanks :wave:

The baking part of this was an absolute disaster (which is unheard of for me!) but I'm really pleased with how my little mole man came out!
He's made from a marshmallow teacake thing and some starburst chewy sweets. The dirt he's dug up is crumbled flake :D

How cute is that?! :love: :lol:
 
I can't really show pet portrait orders at the moment as they are Christmas presents. :(

But I have a few other items

If all goes well everyone else will be getting similar ones only it will be their names and double up as tag on their present as well as something they can keep :D

I've actually got a commission I can share as it was a gift someone knows about :D.

Everything else is a big secret until after Christmas for now though :D
 
I love the bunny bum on the back!

I've started my tags/decorations now.

I also have some commissions that I can't share! :( Surprised I got any this year, don't think I've posted anything for sale for at least a couple of years :shock:

ETA: it would be nice to have appropriate wire to do these with. I'm only making them because I have an addiction to buying the cheap reels of gardening wire but it turns out heavy duty gardening wire is not so good for doing this :lol:
