Summer Sqiggles

What better way to spend a rainy Saturday in Cumbria than to play with inks!! It's like a mini surprise looking through my coursework sketchbook and finding these because It reminds me of the week I spent  with my boyfriend and his mum over the summer. As I go home now and battle with 11p noodles I will remember the fish pie and the pork I scoffed my greedy little face with.

Crochet Enamel Necklace

The Hand Warmers Are Back Again!!! Coming soon to Etsy

After curbing my hand warmer obsession for about a year or so I went into overdrive in the summer and made about 6 pairs. Once I have them all photographed they will be going up on Etsy in time for chilly Autumn days - so keep an eye out!

This pair is 25% wool 75% acrylic, and features a little ceramic button (White St. Thomas) made by myself.

Shell stitch pair, with 5 different mixes of acrylic/wool/mohair

Crochet enamel pendant

This is my favourite sample from one of my uni projects last year.  I have given a couple of samples to my mum and sister but I couldn't part with this one. The aim for this piece was to be double sided, however the other side got contaminated with white enamel and looks a bit splodgy. The size might be what appeals to me the most, its roughly like a squashed 10 pence piece.

Kate

Its that time of year again when I attempt a degree of accuracy in portraiture. I think This version is an improvement from the drawing I did of my sister Kate when I was in Prague last year. http://steffiglaves.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/kate-in-prague.html 

 Shame I got her nose too big.

Nothing like making stock for the ol' Etsy shop while watching Hairy Bikers

It didn't take me that long to crochet these little brooches, it was the beading and finishing that took forever. luckily I had good TV and a lovely elder sibling to keep me company. These will be available for sale on my Etsy shop tomorrow!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!
