DIY kitty frame

I drew this little ginger kitten head the other day, it was also my first ever attempt of using colouring pencils in a realism piece before I think.... (I did once used watercoloured pencils in a drawing of Lady Gaga though!) But I liked the outcome of this drawing and got a few positive comments on it ^_^ umm but of course it looked a little weird only being a kitten head and no body parts!

Soooo......

I made a cute little frame for it and stuck it up on my wall; it looks smaller in photos but its bigger in reality, it's about 18cm x 18cm aprox. 

It was so easy, quick and fun to make! Firstly, cutting out the cat head neatly then cutting out a circle on some coloured corrugated card for decorative crafts! The back plate is colour card that I cut a circle out of using a pair of patterned scissors (the scissors blades are patterned so they cut the shaped edges) and then I hand cut in some holes to make it look like lace coasters, however, the card I used was too thick and I couldn't cut much detailed patterns (I was pretty disappointed about that). The 3 layers are held together with little 3D double sided sticky foam piece so the piece creates shadow and looks 3D.

Then finished off with a little ribbon super glued on :P

I loved making this! And I think it's so cute stuck up in my wall. I think I want to make a few more now and maybe I could give some out as gifts some time ^___^

Felt breakfast set charm

Made a little miniature felt plush breakfast set! ^_^ 

They're all 3D plushies attached with ribbon so they can fit into the charm thingy thing thing..  A slice of toast, strip of bacon and an egg sunny side up! I was debating whether to add faces onto them or not.. But thought I'd keep it simple without faces. I really like miniature food and I make lots of miniature polymer clay food as well :P

So here it is, fits on the palm of my hand:

DIY Christmas gifts

So decided to make my 2 new uni friends little gifts last minute! Took about 4 hours to make cards, envelops and gifts! ALSO MADE MY OWN WRAPPING PAPER ;D

Ah well, here at the envelops I made measuring 8cmx10cm ^_^ for Hannah and Alisa!

Then made 2 Christmas cards to go with it! Took ages to cut the Christmas decoration on the colour paper because of the card being really small and because the colour paper was pretty thin and hard to work with. The pop up christmas tree was fun to make though :)

The I made 2 little felt plushie key charms! I love how they turned out and was so quick and easy to make once I made my own template for it ^___^ as you can see they're pretty small, almost the same size as the little envelops! I made the 2 Starbucks phone charms months ago but thought it'd be cute just to through them in as little extras hahhaa :P

Finally made my own wrapping paper! I made a rubber stamp of a heart which I made myself using an old rubber and a scalpel to carve a heart shape into ^3^ then I just used a blue ink pad to press the hand made stamp onto a sheet of A4 tracing paper :) wrapped the little gifts+card into the paper once the ink had dried and used a little bit of cellotape and ribbon to hold it all together!! Hehe so happy with how it all turned out in such little time as well :)

Giving it to them tomorrow, last day tomorrow then it's Christmas holidays! Im going to try to be productive this time and do lots of creative stuff to motivate me!!! Hope they like their presents tomorrow ^_______^ X
