Hello again! I’m not gone, I promise.
I’m finally back with some goodies to put in the queue. You can expect something new from me every day for a good week, if I do this right! In the mean time, here’s my new set-up. I finally have an actual work station for my resin crafting (before, I was working on the floor and a tiny lap-desk).
Stay tuned, crafty watchers!
Zodiac Part 5 - Virgo
---
For Valentine’s Day, we have Virgo. I love hair - blond, red, brunette, with or without highlights, funky colors, short, long...you get the picture. By far my favorite kind of hair, though, is jet black. I just feel like it reflects light beautifully. I chose to have my Virgo’s hair be black as a result, the stars mirrored on the surface. There’s something mysterious about a girl with gorgeous, long, black hair. (And that’s not a bias - I’ve been a ginger since birth, ha ha!)
A sweet question for you lovely Craftians: What is most beautiful to you?

Cookies...?
---
I doubt I had you all fooled, but these are cookies made from clay and resin. The theme of December’s Elves Box was to make a Unicorn cookie using the clay and cutter provided. I took the extra clay and shaped it into a round cookie and a bee (which is an inside joke).
I’ve never worked with clay in this way before. The softness once it was baked concerned me, so I was apprehensive about decorating. I started with the round cookie and gave it big ole’ chocolate chips - that’s my favorite kind of cookie. I went on to the unicorn next and, as you can probably tell, I went a bit overboard on sealing the entire thing. My resin went everywhere, what a mess! I’ll file down that hideous edge soon. I do like the overall look of the cookie, though; I chose to do the body of the unicorn in black because I was certain the holofilm I had would show up much better on it (I was right!).
The last cookie is a fat little bee, and this is the one I feel looks the most like an actual cookie. I took a thin layer of shimmering white resin and spread it over the ‘wings’ to give it a see-through effect that I think came out quite nice. I drew my blog name over them, too, and my hand-writing doesn’t look half bad.
Would I work with clay again? I’ll be honest: I’m not keen on it. Let me know what you think, though. Should I try this once more? What sorts of things should I try?

Zodiac Part 4 - Aquarius
---
Aquarius is the zodiac right before mine, and to be honest when I was growing up I was always jealous of people who had it! It sounds silly, but it always seemed like merchandise depicting the signs always drew Aquarius so much better and put more detail into it than just-...well, you’ll see soon! I went with water beads in different shades of blue for the water portion of this bezel, which I think gives it a slightly more animated look. There’s only a tiny smattering of color in the urn - I let the pearl pigment do most of the talking. Some nice little silver embellishments topped off this piece and one lone pearl. It has an elegant, almost mystic sort of feel to it that I really like.
Here’s your question, Craftians: Is your glass half full, or half empty?

Something Broken ---
A couple days ago, my friend @zachsanomaiy asked me if I could make a necklace for him from this orb. It fell off of a dragon statue in his room and he decided that instead of having it fixed he wanted it made into something new. I accepted so that I could give it to him on his birthday. It was a fairly simple project in retrospect; I was worried at first about how to affix the ball onto a necklace of any sort without taking away from what it was. Zach’s a pretty simple sort’ve guy - no fancy embellishments needed. Eventually, I found a jewelry cap I liked and set to work filing down the rough edges on the orb where it broke off the statue. I drilled a hole in that end and fit the cap on before setting an eyelet into the new hole. Doused the entire thing in a bit of resin to hold it all in place, put on a jump ring, and there we go! I’m actually proud of how this turned out and am a bit fond of the overall look. Maybe once I get that orb mold I’ve been eyeing on MiniatureSweet, I can do this again...~ <3

Thank you for letting me make this for you, Wonny! ;;w;; It means the world to me you had faith in me to do it <3
I'm so excited about this! Here's my new logo for this blog and my Instagram! Thank you so very much, Rin - you really went above and beyond for this and I can't thank you enough.
Please go check out Rin's artwork - they do adorable Pokemon fanart and their work on critters in general is so cute. ♡♡♡
Zodiac Part 3 - Leo
---
Today, we have Leo. I kept the resin clear with this one again, but the accents are a bit more clustered together. I chose to use mostly green and gold decorations with this one. Couldn’t help it - that big green flower bead called to me, ha ha! I added some gold glitter to the edges of its petals and in the resin in sparing amounts.
Another question, Craftians: Do you consider yourself cowardly, or brave?

Grandmother’s Getaway ---
My mummum is a wonderful little lady. We like to show each other our own crafts from time to time - she’s really getting good at water-color pencils and sketching still life. She’s also a big traveler; nobody can tell her to slow down! I wanted her to have a little getaway of her own to look at whenever she wanted. I toned down a lot of my desire for sparkle with this piece. Gotta say, I think the star of this one are the little water bubble beads. I love those things.

QR Code Rings ---
Hoo boy! I had to do a bit of experimenting here, but this was worth it in the end.
My other best friend (I’ve got a V and a Z!) ‘Z’ wanted a plain, clear ring with a QR code inside. Because QR codes can be used to generate many different things, we settled on making these lead to his webcomic’s website. And...they actually work! We were able to scan the codes on the rings themselves. Wow! I’m really pleased with how these turned out, and he loves them.

Once In A Blue Moon ---
Another Christmas gift - this one was made for my brother’s girlfriend...now fiance! I wanted to make her something small and cute. I used a rectangular mold to create a base, then made the little star and moon separately and covered them in clear resin. There’s a bit of pearl pigment and a couple glow-in-the-dark stars in the background, but it’s hard to see. Welcome to the family, kiddo!

To Infinity ---
That little rocket ship reminds me too much of the one on Buzz Lightyear, so I just had to call this piece something related to Buzz.
This came in Sophie & Toffee’s November Elves Box, along with some beautiful chameleon flakes that I used to decorate the bottom of this piece. I filled it all up with stars and added a splash of pearl pigment in the background. There’s also a huge bunch of glow-in-the-dark stars behind the rocket ship!

The Wand of Healing ---
So hold up, let me explain the name. This bezel came to me very bent at the stem (which you can sorta see in that second picture), so much so that the poor thing was almost ready to split in two. I wanted to rescue this bezel in the worst way...so I turned it into a really beautiful Christmas present for one of my friends!
I used my wing/feather mold to create two little glittering wings that I placed at the back of the piece, and then placed a heart bead I made over top of the break. I sealed the whole area with resin, and it’s totally solid now. It just goes to show that, with some creativity and some love and care, you can mend things that are broken. This is one of my new favorites.

Destiel Feather ---
My best friend is a huge fan of the television show ‘Supernatural’. She also ships ‘Destiel’. For Christmas, I took my new feather mold and made a nice little necklace piece. I ended up reusing a chain from a necklace I don’t wear anymore to hook the ends together they way they needed to go. I gotta say, having the spots for eyelets on this mold made things SO much easier.

Moose & Reggie ---
Now that Christmas has come and gone (I’ve got post-holiday blues), I figure it’s time to put these up now that my friends have received their gifts.
I bought a cute little corgi-dog mold from MiniatureSweet before the holidays in preparation. You see, my best friend’s husband has two adorable little corgi dogs and the guy is absolutely OBSESSED with them. He’s got corgi ties, corgi plush dolls, corgi slippers...it goes on. So I thought it’d be really cool to make little ornaments out of his very own pups! The one on the left is Moose - he’s a very sweet and lazy older corgi. Reggie is hyper as all get out, but he’s a friendly dog. They’re both my dog nephews, ha ha!

Zodiac Part 2 - Sagittarius ---
Today’s zodiac piece is Sagittarius...and I have no problem admitting that I used spellcheck every single time I went to type that one in. Yikes.
I didn’t want to take away from the piece by dying the resin inside the bow a different color, so I left it clear. I think all in all that this one came out pretty lovely for looking so simple!
Question for you, Craftians: Do you believe in true love?

Zodiac Part 1 - Cancer ---
The Elves Box in November came with a set of 12 zodiac bezels, so I figured it’d be neat to work through them all.
Today’s is Cancer, the crab. I’m a huge lover of weird critters: bugs, crabs, etc. I wanted to work some magic on this bezel first because of it. I’m also using the new nail light my pop picked me up for Christmas (Thanks dad!).
Here’s a question, Craftians: What do you do when you feel crabby?

My Mother’s Key/Mother’s Opal ---
A special piece: not only is this for my mom, but she helped me make it on Thanksgiving. She picked out a lot of the elements and watched as I put it all together. Mom’s been very supportive and encouraging of my new crafting hobby and I’m very grateful. I think this piece came out lovely as a result. The gem is honestly one of the best I’ve made so far. Both of them complement each other very well without one outshining the other, I think. Thanks, mom!
