The Crafter and Artists Sticky Thread

Is that pyrography on the wood? It looks fab. I tried wood burning, but haven't got the patience to finish anything bigger than a keyring lol!
 
Have you thought about doing any naughty silhouette paintings blackers? The trio one is a little if you look at it the right way and I love it!

Not just me then! :lol: I was thinking 'I could never buy that, as soon an me Mum saw it she'd be all "why've you got a picture of a rabbit threeway?!"'
 
I've actually only got round to listing three of the five :oops:
I did photograph my robin but I had pink hair at the time and it looked awful in the photos of it on so I haven't got round to listing it so no links to photos.

But here are penguins, sloth and tawny owl:

They are lovely, Battlekat :thumb: I still can't wait till I have the spare funds to commission a piece for my buns. Such unique work :love:
 
Made a card for a work colleague who's a bit obseeed with Pokémon: as I'm good at dragons, Charizard was the obvious choice:

Pencils, liner pen and glitter glue.

NB I never really got Pokémon, I was a year too old! :D
 
Bet s/he'll love it! the glitter glue is a really nice touch :)

I made a pokemon thing for a buddy, will have to dig out a photo.
 
I think this counts as arts and crafts and I've been dying to show it off!

I can't decorate a cake for toffee so this was an unprecedented success. I also made 48 mini victoria sponges, 36 malteser cupcakes, a carrot cake, a lemon meringue cake, a fruit cake, a dozen mini tiramisus & two trays of brownies. It was a hectic couple of days! Thankfully my SIL was on washing up duty :love:
 
I made more effort on my Necromunda gang last night: I went through and decided which colour hair everyone will have :lol: (That's why lots of them currently have black hair: I've just done their 'normal' hair colours before they get 'dyed'). But here's a sample few of their evolution and current condition.

Two browns and a ginger: also visible is the work I've done on the black (greys and ink wash) and the flesh tone (three-colour work up, no ink):

Blonde and grey:

The 'juves' (initiate gangers) have bleached blonde hair instead of colours:

Gunmetal greys:

Brown trousers ;P and paler brown leatherwork (belt, pouches):

And here's what they used to look like: mostly black, and mostly unhighlighted! (2005 vintage):

I still haven't worked out what to do with the bit of cloth hanging down on loads of them: maybe pale beige? I dunno, we'll see what I feel like!
 
My first attempt at fabric coasters :thumb:

I also made some gold glittery dinosaurs for the Christmas tree in December but don't seem to have photos anywhere. They were something like the ones on my neice's birthday cake!
