Make 50: Week 45 and custom order continued
My make for this week is this pair of earrings, they have fabric embedded inside which gives them an ornate sketchy feel. I am progressing with the custom order I blogged about in my last post. The pieces are now sanded and polished (sorry for the f...
PennyDog’s Progress Part 2
All the knitting needles (and all but 3 bangles and a ring) are done! I’m waiting on some buttons for the ends of the sea green needles and just finishing the leaf ends for the winter snow ones, but no more wrist cramps from sanding the sticks ...
PennyDog’s Progress….
Well after the mayhem that was my last post my desk is a lot tidier and I seem to be getting somewhere. I should take a picture of my desk really to prove I’m not as dirty as I appeared to be- I’ve even changed the table lining as I got u...
Giving it a whirl….
I had a go at a resin painting effect. Didn’t come out the same as I’d drawn it, but it looks kind of like fire! I think I like it, and plan to make more in fire colours- what do you think? ...
I made these…. now what?!
There’s a ton of moss around outside since the snow, our lawn will need completely reseeding! I decided to make the best of the situation by making these cabochons, though I’m still trying to think of ways of using them! A few people hav...
Blogumentary: Jenny Blaze’s Two-finger ring part 6
I got this awesome new flat lap machine for Christmas, though I’ve discovered that the best place for it is in the bath as water flies everywhere! I used the diamond laps to sand, then used polishing paste and the buffing lapto polish up. Unf...
Blogumentary: Jenny Blaze’s Two-finger ring part 5
I demoulded the rings and then added another layer of resin on the top to create a more domed effect. It is still very tacky, so will not start sanding these until tomorrow. The black isn’t quite as vivid as I would have liked or as how they we...
Blogumentary: Jenny Blaze’s Two-finger ring part 4
The mould was an absolute nightmare and the base still wasn’t set by the time I decided enough was enough. Once the mould had been turned out of it’s container (or wrestled out in my case) a craft knife was useful for removing excess rub...
Blogumentary: Jenny Blaze’s Two-finger ring part 3
It took a while, but finally I am at the mould making stage. I originally tried this with Vinamold but I think it got too hot and it clug to the model and it took me ages to sand it all off. I ordered some RTV silicone and decided to try a cold proce...
Top-up stock
Kathleen and Lily’s let me know that they have sold 7 items in their shop, and want more stock for the Christmas shoppers, so today I’ve been working on replacement goods. I’m so pleased that things have been selling well in the lit...
Custom order work in progress…
I’ve been making a tinfoil heart necklace for ITSABEE1 on Folksy as a custom order as there is a story behind the foil and she wants it as a keepsake. Unfortunately I got some nasty veins on the back of the piece making it look dirty from the f...
Work in progress…
Today I thought I’d share some work in progress with you straight out of the moulds, that I’m preparing for the showcase at Plush Jewellery in Chichester from the 4th to 17th October. They just need sanding, drilling, varnishing and fini...
