My newest gloves are made from my own simple fingerless gloves pattern that I will be writing up soon. Will probably make it a free download from my blog if anyone would like to have a go.

I've listed this pair on Etsy, they are made from my favourite 100% Australian cosy wool and are a medium size. They're on sale at the moment as part of the DUSTteam Feb sale for which the theme is Roses are Red, Violets are Blue.


Latest resin pendants
Made these last weekend with some origami paper - I think we're getting better at it


What I'm loving this week
Dr. Who - Silence In The Library - Tardis Leather Journal Book

So much to blog about having been afk for a week or two!

Here's my first attempt at a resin bangle - I'm really happy with how it turned out! I've always been one for origami, so I made up 5 cranes from silver wrapping paper, embedded them in clear resin and brushed a little blue dye across the top of the mold, which happened to sink down really nicely!


And look! Marina has made Doctor Whos from all my patterns!
Thanks Marina for sending me these pics! Made my day!

I love the hair on her Tom Baker!

In Melbourne it's 9.30am and it's already 30 degrees :/ Ick!

Woke up really early because of the heat, but has been an exciting morning - two pattern sales and got featured in my first treasury - See my little Dugong in Disguise at the top left? yay! Many thanks to ArtNomadix!

I love the blue MilkwoodDesign resin ring also featured.

A friend and I have been experimenting with resin in the last few days. Apart from the initial problem of it melting through the plastic cup in which we mixed it, our experiments have been useful for working out what does and doesn't work. It's a very difficult (and somewhat smelly) medium, as there is really no undo option.



Above is a pic of my favourite attempt so far - copper wire, blue shiny dye and black backing paper - I just wish it hadn't turned out so thick - but the resin started drying before we had done the backing layer properly :( hoping for better results next time!
