The Crafter and Artists Sticky Thread

Gorgeous :love:

Do you have the CE labelling on? I used to like making toys, but when they made the CE labelling so complicated I decided not to do any more :(

No, they are Artist dolls really, I always state they are not suitable for children under 14 years, they are collectables really.
 
My new tags :)

We had a snow day yesterday, it just wasn't safe (if anyone seen Daybreak - that bridge he was reporting from on the A23 is our route to work, and that was nothing compared to further down where we live!) Anyway, I made this bunny cushion with my time, and some snugglesafe covers cos mine have eaten theirs AGAIN!!!

lovely painting Gaile! Is it for yourself?

R&T what a huge amount of stuff you've made :shock: Love the cushions

Baildon bears, your doll is beautifully made :love:

and blackers, beautiful paintings as always!
 
Not quite finished, and as usual I forgot a before picture until I'd started but
this old unit that was being thrown out by OH's work, the letters had been burned in to the front so couldn't paint it

And nearly finished, just have to do something with the top and sides (might just sand and varnish, might paint white)

A project I feel a bunny forum will appreciate :D

Love it :love:, I have some old ikea draws like that, might have to have a go, sewing more my thing though, very clever :thumb:
 
I sooo love those drawers, I'm totally gonna copy :) :oops:

I've had a sewing day :D

For my mother in law for her birthday (I sent her one for Mothers Day, and she asked for two more, but don't think she realised I wanted paying for them :lol: but it's a bit mean asking her to pay when it's her birthday next weekend!)

Ok how much for one of these???? I would love of if not more of these, just as covers and I'd put the cushion pad inside!
They are stunning! Please say you'll take requests!
 
I did my first painting in oils last night.
Being totally unprepared and having no idea of what I needed I added a little olive oil to some of the thicker paints. I've read a bit since and it seems this will never dry :lol:

Also, I read even normally they can take weeks to dry :shock: I think I'll be sticking to acrylics so pretty much a massive waste of money :oops:

He's (obviously) not dry yet, and there's quite a bit of reflection, might post another photo if he's any drier after being left around for a few weeks. :lol:
